When Chris Rock talks how can you not Love him .. ❤ he's been making us laugh 😃 forever you can understand why they choose him to lead the crowd. He's the face of the Oscar's the show won't be the same without him! Thank you Chris for bringing your humor to the World! A True Legend!
Chris Rock is very smart. His comedy is so true it cuts to the chase. His hosting the Oscars is the best, the way he addressed the Hollywood Racism is perfect.
but unfortunately he is a misogynist, in his oskar monologue, he said that if there was no gender discrimination in the actor awards, women wouldn't be able to get awards, they wouldn't be able to catch up with male actors, and in the last event he implied to Penelope that if she didn't get an oscar, he wouldn't want her husband to get it.
@@aligls977 Maybe you should listen again before you come up with your ridiculous theory. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Typical SJW trying to put things where they aren't.
Hard to believe this interview was 16 years ago. Feels more like 160 years...the suits, the lighting. Love Jay Leno's giggle. I always found him so funny...have never understood why he disappeared. Chris Rock still as funny as ever as he heads towards 60...where the heck is time going!
CHRIS ROCK HAS NEVER ACTED TOO GOOD FOR ANYONE,AFTER HIS FAME,ALWAYS HAS REMAINED GROUNDED AND HUMBLE.THAT COMES FROM GOOD PARENTING SKILLS....MAJOR PROPS TO CHRIS THE IRON CHEEK ROCK,AS SOLID AS THEY COME!
10:28 build-up to hilarious ! Chris Rock always a favorite and now even more fans and respect since he's been slapped to a new and higher status. Always Chris. Always funny. Always real. Everybody Loves Chris !! Will...almost everyone... LoL !!
@@danvincent2600 He DOES NOT look 57! I had to check when the movie The Longest Yard came out just to know how old this clip is. I'm shocked by his age!
Yes he is a comedian but everything has a proper time and place ,you dont make fun of a sick wife infront of his husband and colleagues . It is a formal event, the family maybe ongoing a difficult situation.
@@evelynbautista3178 you are such an idiot, that was a very light joke no reason for will Smith to walk on stage and shaped another person in the face, you condoning violence is beyond me.
@@evelynbautista3178 Bullshit. Will was laughing at the joke. Hitting someone over a joke is never right. The fact that you're attempting to justify it says a lot about you.
I love Chris Rock he is the funniest comedian I have ever seen he is so smart he sees it the way it is and he says it the way it is that's what makes him so funny he's so honest love you Chris
@@Rick-the-Swift Well Mr. Mooney must be a very elderly man, bcos we are talking about a 35 year span of jokes! Sorry, never heard of him, but somehow I get the feeling that he was a white guy writing material for 3 black men❓😎
God blessed him stay humble my brother The angels are on your side the world is proud of you great exemple to the violents men out there 🥰🥰stay strong and positive
Chris Rock is the funniest when he's just talking and making points... he doesn't need to try and be funny, his points and intelligence is what's funny.
Plain Simple hes first 2 hbo specials were 94 and 99. I watchced them when they debuted and have seen them a million times since. I just watched both of them tonight and it's just surreal. I mean his material is almost more to today than 2o years ago. he's just the shit
Truth is, I only vaguely knew of him. I’ve been following the story of the fateful night at the AA, especially how Mr Rock is handing it and himself. Now I know better who he is. I respect and like him. I am so proud of anyone who can stand in the face of adversity with courage and self-respect. He did good!
I totally agree, and he is a gracious guy. Doesn’t talk down to people or harp on GD politics like all the “comedians” feel it’s their place to “educate” us stupid and uneducated people. I got to the point where I don’t watch any of them unless it’s guys like Chris or Dave C.
@RestlessRick, Huh. I suppose you like trying to catch fart bubbles in the bath tub too, I guess? Neither of these clowns could hold a candle to a true comedian like Don Rickles. You millenials kill me
@@Rick-the-Swift Don Rickles was one of the funniest and best insult comedians it ever was Black or White and I'm Black btw...he used to crack me up lol...rip
"Baby needs diamond shoes". I've even gone back recently to watching "Everybody Hates Chris" which first aired a few months after this interview. And when he first broke out on SNL and got the role in New Jack City he was just starting standup. His show in 1992 was the very first standup comedy show I attended and he was the only celebrity I ever met in person. I'm sure many are here because of the 2022 incident but I don't think he'll ever be asked to host in the future after that thing. Still, he will always be funny to me.
@MJ Serrano, wtf, that's racist AF. Just because he's black you think his parent's have to have gray curly hairs on their heads, instead of straight blonde hair? I doubt you even researched whether he was raised by black people or not. smh. FYI, most famous black comedians were brought up around white people, like it or not. Dave Chappelle for example, almost never hangs out with brothers, and most of his audience is white.
He is funny and super smart. You can ask him a question and comes with the most funny answer. I saw him on Good Morning America with Adam Sandlers and he made everybody laugh so hard. Even Adam Sandlers could not resist. I mean for a comedian to make another comedian laugh is because is the GOAT.
Yep, he has more talent in his pinky than a guy like Will Smith, who's given the very best roles time and time again and could only punch it through after boycotting
I have been shouting about Rock since the 1st time I saw him. Every time since, I see him coming from both reality AND Love- which creates real, positive action. I can't say that about others in entertainment, or even in the world. He morphed that slap (without hitting back..) into the reality of where it came from. Suge Smith, conversely ...didn't stop for a second to find out if Rock had a grudge against Alopecia, or if he's a man who was hired to make a good joke. Chris became a hero without even acting.
This great man has hosted the Oscars 2x. He is mostly a stand up comedian but deserves to have an academy awar to go with the other 7 awards that he already has.
Chris Rock - "Nuttin' but Love" - a NATURAL Comedian - NO TRAINING NEEDED !!!!! Lethal Weapon, Dogma, etc.....!!!! one of the ALL TIME GREAAAAAAAAAAATS !!!! Keep Rockin Chris !!!!!!!!!!
The person who is in control of his/her emotions are on the road to being in control of his life. Make Will Smith's millions apologize to your career, Master Chris Rock!!!!
This was a display of comedy gamesmanship. Leno talking about Rock’s movies wasnt the first time and he obviously knew what Rockz response would be because he has probably said that at Lenoz mansion several times in the past. They were great together and Leno still hasnt been replaced by nbc. Thanx for thw vid
Watching this after the Will slap. I can see why this man (Chris) is a huge threat to Will Smith. Wow!! What a guy. Now he will excel so much more. Poor little Willy.
Yes Sock Puppet, Leno and Rock were quite close, and the jabbing probably extended beyond the stage set and into their hotel room, if you know what I mean. Chris no doubt probly put Jay's chin to good use if you know what I'm saying... probly even gave him that little dimple ;)
If anyone is interested, as I am, in understanding Mr. Rock’s background, here is a link. I am so proud of him! He had one heck of a difficult time with cruel kids physically assaulting him - and now look where he is! So proud! His mother was a teacher and a social worker. His father worked hard, too. Bless Chris and his family. ❤️🙏
Chris Rock is among the comedians that I respect the most. He is very talented but more importantly, he is a great man with class and dignity. Bless you Mr. Rock ❤
Can't listen to this guy, without singing to myself: _''Rat-da-dadda-da-da-circus-afro.....rat-da-dadda-da-da-circus-afro....circus-afro-circus afro.........''_
This guy understands comedy. He gets the timing, the understatement, and the best part of all--BREVITY! He is a bona-fide genius. The rest of the Emmy joke should have been; "Now the DOPE dealer got a bunch of my Emmys!" (Now that is REALLY why they call him "Chris Rock!") (Chris, feel free to use any of this crap you think will make the cut.)
