Comedian Rob Schneider wasnt in a laughing mood during a recent interview with Tucker Carlson .

Thats because the interview happened a couple of days after singer Elle King , the 35-year-old daughter of the Saturday Night Live alum, called out his toxic parenting on the Dumb Blonde podcast .

King, best known for her 2015 hit Exs & Ohs, said her relationship with Schneider was pretty rocky at times, due to long stretches of no contact and what she called his harsh criticisms of her appearance.

I go for like four or five years without talking to my dad, King told podcast host Bunnie XO . If I would ever spend a summer with my dad, it would be on a movie set. I would just get lost in the shuffle.

King also claimed that Schneider forgot about every single birthday, and emphasized that she doesnt agree with her fathers conservative politics .

On Wednesday, Schneider, 60, publicly apologized to King for his behavior over the years.

Its fun being a parent, isnt it? Schneider told Carlson, before attempting to send a public message to King.

I want to just tell my daughter, Elle I love you and I wish I was the father in my 20s that you needed, and clearly I wasnt, he said. And I hope you can forgive me for my shortcomings. I love you completely. I love you entirely.

He added: I just want you to be well and happy with you and your beautiful baby, Lucky. I wish you the best. I feel terrible, and I just want you to know that I dont take anything you say personally.

King has not yet commented on her fathers remarks.
