Four years ago, Chris Rock hosted the Academy Awards when Will Smith publicly walked on stage and slapped him after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith's alopecia. The incident remains an unforgettable moment in global history.
Many have since wondered if Rock would ever return to host the Oscars. During a recent interview with Variety, he was inevitably asked about it. Rock admitted he wouldn't completely rule it out, but for now, he believes there are many other suitable hosts, and he doesn't feel he'll get another chance to take the Oscar stage.

If not hosting, what about attending as a guest? Rock stated, "I'm not nominated. Unless I'm nominated, I'm not going. And I'm not nominated right now. That's fine. If I get nominated later, we'll figure it out, but don't get your hopes up."
While Rock isn't keen on returning to the Oscars, he is very enthusiastic about reprising his voice role in the "Madagascar" series. "I hope to God they let me do another one," he said. "Everything's getting rebooted now, why not reboot 'Madagascar'? I don't know who to ask to make it happen. I just got divorced, I've spent all the money I made from 'Madagascar' (referring to alimony). We only did three movies, but 'Ice Age' did five! Five! F*** you, Ray Romano! I need another 'Madagascar.' It's time! 'Toy Story' got four or five movies, right? There's no reason 'Madagascar' can't!"
