Oscars 2016: Tina Fey dubs Chris Rock as 'greatest living American stand-up comedian'

The Oscars are upon us again and this year, not only it is about finding out who takes home the gold, but also to hear host Chris Rock's take on the ongoing #OscarsSoWhite controversy during his monologue.

When Michael Strahan asked Tina Fey if she gave Rock any advice, given that she's no stranger to leading these types of shows as the entertaining emcee, she said "the greatest living American stand-up comedian" Rock needs no advice from her.

The 45-year-old actress also told E!'s Ryan Seacrest exclusively, "You know what, Chris is the best in the business, so I can't imagine.he's not nervous to get out there and do jokes in front of people. I think there are some crazy high expectations for-can he fix the world tonight with his jokes?"

The 'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot' star ruled the Oscars red carpet in a gorgeous strapless floor-length purple gown and matching Bulgari jewelry.

She will be presenting with fellow comedy mainstay Steve Carell, putting on a mini 'Date Night' reunion.
