Rob Schneider is Charles H. Sloanfessing up to his shortcomings after oldest daughter Elle King accused him of being absent during her childhood and sending her to "fat camp."
In a clip from an upcoming interview with former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, which will be released Thursday, the 60-year-old actor and comedian apologized to King, 35.
"I just want to tell my daughter: Elle, I love you, and I wish I was the father in my 20s that you needed, and clearly I wasn't. I hope you can forgive me for my shortcomings," Schneider said straight to the camera. "I love you completely. I love you entirely, and 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 don't take anything you say personally."
The "Saturday Night Live" alum's comments come days after Bunnie XO's "Dumb Blonde" podcast released a clip from an interview in which King opened up about being at odds with her dad since childhood.

Elle King remembers summers with Rob Schneider: 'He would forget he had me'
In the full "Dumb Blonde" episode, released Monday, King opened up to Bunnie, who is Jelly Roll's wife, about how she and Schneider didn't connect "until I was much, much older."
"My dad and my relationship is, like, a real big ebb and flow. Right now, we're not flowing. I disagree with a lot of the things he says. You can want someone to change so much, and ultimately you can't control anyone else's actions; you can't people's feelings," she said. "All you can control is how you react and what you do with your feelings."
King recalled the few summers she spent with her dad instead of her grandparents in Ohio.
One year, she joined Schneider as he filmed "a prison movie" in Stockton, California. At the time, King had already started her tattoo collection, and as a result had to wear sweaters in 108-degree weather because Schneider was "very anti-tattoos or, like, any form of self-expression that differed from what he wanted for me."
She added, "Not that he ever thought about me."
King also claimed she would "get in so much trouble if I ever messed up a shot." When she was younger, she starred in her dad's 1999 movie "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo."
The "Ex's & Oh's" singer went on to share that, fed up with her 14-year-old rebellious attitude, her mom sent King off to stay with her dad while he was in Amsterdam for work. She was looked after by a nanny and a tutor that summer.
"Anytime my dad would have me on a trip, he would, like, forget that he had me because he's not a great planner," King said before detailing a trip to Moscow where a security guard kept her entertained for a full day.
Elle King opens up about being sent to 'fat camp' as a pre-teen
King's mom is former actress and model London King, who split with Schneider in 1990. Schneider and his current wife, Patricia Schneider, have two children together: 11-year-old Miranda Scarlett Schneider and 7-year-old Madeline Robbie Schneider.
"Both of my parents had their obsessions with eating," King revealed.
For two summers as a pre-teen, King said, Schneider sent her to "fat camp," where children were served "a slice of turkey and steamed vegetables for every meal" and worked out "all day long."
"The 'F-word' is so triggering for me," King said after Bunnie questioned, "Is it OK to call it a 'fat camp?'"
"It got to a point where I didn't want to spend the summer with him," King later said.

Rob Schneider didn't help Elle King's career: 'I don't want to be associated with him'
Harkening back to the beginning of her music career, King discussed feeling like she doesn't benefit from nepotism.
"He never helped me; I never wanted his help. He also didn't have a very good reputation," she said of Schneider. "That was really it. It wasn't even, like, 'I've got to pave my own way.' I was like, 'I don't want to be associated with him.' I'm going to get in trouble for saying that, but I don't really care."
"He's just not nice," she added.

King, whose debut album "Love Stuff" was released in 2015, recalled moving to LA and playing shows as an unsigned artist. As her career started gaining traction, King said, her dad was not involved.
"Honestly, I didn't talk to my dad. I go four, five years without talking to my dad," she said. "When I put out my record and people finally started asking about my dad, my dad called me and was like, 'Don't ... talk about me in the press!' Like, all right."
"I don't care," she added. "Listen, people have asked me about ... (Schneider) for years. You're talking out of your ass. You're talking (expletive) about drag and ... anti-gay rights."
"I want to take this opportunity to say: I disagree. I do not agree with what he says. I believe in all forms of love, and I believe in anyone finding their happiness and their joy in whatever way, whatever capacity that is. There are no politics when it comes to love; that's it."
"I'm very proud," she said of her career. Having opened up about postpartum depression and having OCD that manifests in "mild Tourette's," King added, "I'm healthier than I've ever been; my brain is good."
