The Will Smith-Chris Rock slap incident at the Oscars took everybody by surprise. UFC commentator Joe Rogan had also discussed it on his ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. However, in episode #1856 with guest, Nate Bargatze, he discussed Rock’s comedy post the slap-saga.

Both the personalities spoke about Rock’s tendency to get lost in the moment while doing comedy. That’s when Rogan said, “He’s really funny again right now.”

“I saw him at the store before the whole Will Smith thing and he was working out his material. He was f**king good, man. He was really good, like classic Chris Rock sh*t. Because, you know, went through a hard divorce, lost a sh*tload of money and it’s a lot of pain and so and then, came out of it.”

“And then on the other side of it, it’s like, he’s really good right now.

Rogan and Bargatze further discussed how some comedians have big hits but later are unable to give similar content. Bargatze, who is also a comedian, was of the opinion that being an ‘underdog’ is better as the audience would doubt the abilities of the jokester.
