Comedian Chris Rock lends his voice to a zebra in the animated “Madagascar” movies in honor of President Obama, he said on “The Today Show” on Thursday.
“I wanted to be the lion, you know, king of the jungle and all that but that didn’t work out,” Rock said. “Snake is always good. You know, scare people. Ssss. But I’ll take the zebra.”
“In honor of our zebra president,” he went on. “Black and white, white and black. … I love our president, but he’s black and white. He appeals to all. And that’s what I am going for.”
“Have you mentioned this to him, by the way? Because I wonder how he’d react to the analogy you’re making,” host Ann Curry said.
“I don’t know,” Rock replied. “We ignore the president’s whiteness, but it’s there. It’s there.”
