Chris Rock

Chris Rock is a standup comedian who first rose to national stardom when he appeared on Saturday Night Live in the late '80s and early '90s. The early '90s were Rock's popular heyday, when he frequently appeared in films; he released his first comedy record, Born Suspect, in 1991.

When he left SNL, his popularity dipped, and for much of the mid-'90s, he had difficulty landing movie roles; when he did, no one went to the movies. Rock began concentrating on his standup work again, and by the release of his second album, 1997's Roll with the New, he had become one of the most popular and best-reviewed comedians in America. Like its predecessor, 1999's Bigger & Blacker reached platinum status and furthered Rock's popularity; five years later, Never Scared saw similar success. The comedian then assembled some of his best-known tracks for Cheese and Crackers: The Greatest Bits, which was released in late 2007. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Great Comedian, With Strong Messages

Chris Rock is someone I have always admired as a comedian. He understands when it is time to be silly and he knows how to use observational comedy. Although he is often yelling, it isn't a crutch he relies on like other comedians. Rock also updates his material frequently, which is really important for a personality such as his, where trying to fake excitement and rage can look really silly if it isn't fresh enough in his mind to still be emotional over.

Chris Rock is a true comedian, worthy of the attention he has recieved.

Why'd he leave the stage???

Anybody know why Chris walked off stage before he finished his act on Sunday night?

Aggressive, Intellectual, and Funny

Chris Rock is a serious comic: his comedy is based on hitting power structure and established institutions from political parties to marriage. At any given performance you might think he's going too far or "he can't possibly be saying that...", etc. but in the end you will have laughed so hard it won't matter.
