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!
@@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!
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 !!
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.
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!
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
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
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❓😎
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
@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.
"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.
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 ;)
Chris Rock - "Nuttin' but Love" - a NATURAL Comedian - NO TRAINING NEEDED !!!!! Lethal Weapon, Dogma, etc.....!!!! one of the ALL TIME GREAAAAAAAAAAATS !!!! Keep Rockin Chris !!!!!!!!!!
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.
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
@@coolandtrue8207 if a film created is bad it doesn't go to cinema but straight to DVD. Chris is saying the host's film would be so bad it won't even be good enough for screen time on DVD. 😂🤣 Audio might make it though. The host hasn't done a movie but that isn't the point; Chris is hitting back because the host jokes that Chris doesn't make good films.
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!!!!
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.
RG is very smart but goes a bit too far sometimes. Chris Rock has better points of view. His observational humor is one of the best. He is right below Dave Chappelle
As a British person, Ricky has moments of greatness but how repellent I find him, over rides those moments... If that makes sense? I don't feel that about Chris Rock
He's so quick and funny. I've always liked him, but I adore him now. Thanks, Will.
I've seen his interviews and work and he admired will and I also love Chris more cuz of will, lol
@@TOJralpheal : Do you think the "slap" was staged or actually real? I just don't see why Will Smith would actually slap his friend.
@@anonymousjohnson976 because jada a bald headed ho3
LOL. That's funny. I feel the same way. He showed incredible restraint with Will Smith.
such a weird thing to say, will doesn't know you , that guy makes me want to slap him
I wish Chris Rock a standing ovation at the end of every single presentation!
I wish him the Oscar !
....and just the opposite for Will Smith!
And the opposite for Will Smith!
YASSSSS!!! 🙌
2022 here..... I have sooo much respect for Chris's talent, and even more for his class!
He’s a hilarious comedian, but his serial cheating on his ex-wife wasn’t exactly “classy.”
@@calisongbird, it's also his and her business. You probably got some family members that you love and respect that have cheated.
the class of being slapped like a bitch ^^
Chris Rock ; best ever!!!!! Love this guy.

His comedy is based on things people relate to but keep hush hush. Thats why it work. Brilliant.

He’s such a natural. He’s the real deal. Hard to see the “replays” and not close your eyes in pain.
His laughter is crazy. I love it! He is awesome.

For stand up comedy, no one compares to his type humor - not even Eddie Murphy or Richard Pryor!!!!
Exactly
