“Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane is the latest celebrity to weigh in.

MacFarlane is no stranger to the Oscars stage after previously hosting the ceremony.

He told THR that he had nothing but praise for Chris Rock after the slap went down.

“I don’t think anybody could have handled it better than Chris Rock,” he said.

He noted that Rock is a celebrity that’s “universally beloved.”

“Everybody loves Chris Rock,” MacFarlane continued.

He added that it’s easy to get mad about the Oscars because it “doesn’t really require a whole lot of work.”

MacFarlane said, “There is a laziness element to what we choose to allow ourselves to be enraged by.”
