You should always choose your words carefully, comedian tells Matt Lauer

Chris Rock was one of the guests on The Today Show with Matt Lauer and, though he probably hadn't planned it, roasted Chris Brown when Lauer provided him with the right material for a joke.

Video of the whole thing is below and, as expected, the roasting had a lot to do with Chris Brown's assault on former girlfriend Rihanna 3 years ago.

“We're hoping the same kind of weather hits us tomorrow when we've got Chris Brown out on the plaza,” Lauer said, basically explaining why he wanted fine weather for tomorrow's show.

Chris Rock didn't miss a beat though.

“Did you say you hope the same weather HITS you? I hope some weather doesn't SMACK us upside the head,” he quipped back in the studio.
