Overview
- Nicolas Cage publicly apologised for walking into a live Howard Stern interview with Chris Rock during remarks at New York Comic Con.
- He said he once had a problem with interrupting people, added that he no longer interrupts, and described the episode as something he feels 'very bad' about.
- Cage recalled that he did not know Rock was the guest when he entered the studio and that he showed up to avoid giving Howard Stern time to think of questions.
- Cage said he later ran into Chris Rock, praised him and reported that Rock accepted the apology and responded graciously.
- Coverage of the remarks flags inconsistent timelines for the original crash, with one outlet placing it circa 2002 and others saying 2022, so the exact date remains unclear.
