Chris Rock Keeps Us Laughing

February 08, 2001

When he came on The Oprah Show shortly after President George W. Bush's 2001 inauguration, Chris had politics on his mind. "You made Bush win," Chris joked to Oprah. "Hey, I'm not blaming; I'm just saying. And you know you did it too. And you and Gore kind of hit it off."

"He liked my boots," Oprah said.

"He liked more than your boots. I saw the eyes," Chris said. "I met Clinton. He is a charmer. I would have slept with him. I was almost there. I had to pull back. I was like, 'I'm married. I'm married.'"
