Jerry Seinfeld says a “shook” Chris Rock turned down his offer to make a cameo in 'Unfrosted' parodying the infamous moment when Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars.
When Jerry Seinfeld asked Rock, 59, to parody the incident in a scene for his new Netflix comedy, Unfrosted, the comedian turned him down, Seinfeld said on the May 8 episode of Dana Carvey and David Spade’s 'Fly on the Wall' podcast.
Instead, Seinfeld cast Cedric the Entertainer in the emcee role. Cedric “saved the day,” he added. He then asked the podcast hosts whether the joke would have worked if Rock had agreed to film it. 'If Chris is there and wants to do it, you get it,' Carvey said. 'You can always trim it. Always get the shot.'
