Wax, who is also a pastor and the managing editor of The Gospel Project, posted on Twitter:
"Jesus Christ Superstar makes me sick to my stomach."

He did not elaborate why.

Former Fox News Host Bill O'Reilly also watched the broadcast and was apparently irritated.

"Watching JC Superstar on NBC. Who knew Jesus of Nazareth ran a tattoo parlor? Geez," he said.

Supermodel Chrissy Teigen retorted in response: "Yes the shop specializes in coverups that aren't 32 million dollars," referencing his infamous sexual misconduct settlement.

Teigen's tweet was summarily liked over 146,000 times.
