Comedian Chris Rock regrets joking about Janet Jackson and says if he could take back that funny sentence.
Rock, 49, in an interview expressed his regression for mocking Jackson's wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl, reported People magazine.
"I remember when Janet Jackson (had that wardrobe malfunction) at the Super Bowl. I told a joke like 'You can't just whip out a 40-year-old t--!' Now, anytime I see Janet Jackson to this day she looks at me like she's ready to scratch my eyes out!
"I had to do it. It's my job. I can't take the joke back, but man it would be nice for Janet Jackson to like me. God bless her, I wish her well," he said.
