Adam Sandler defended his friend Chris Rock Sunday, saying he "never" thought his fellow comedian went too far with the Will Smith jokes after he was infamously slapped at last year's Oscars.

A reporter for People interviewed Sandler on the red carpet for the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center about Rock's recent Netflix comedy special.

Sandler said he thought Rock's special "Selective Outrage" was "amazing."

"Do you think he went too far with the Will Smith jokes?" the reporter asked.

"Nope, I never thought that in my life," Sandler responded.
