Rock was a cast member of thesketch comedy seriesSaturday Night Live from 1990 to 1993.

His tenure onSNL gave Rock national exposure. (Rock has hostedSNL four times: in 1996, 2014, 2020 and 2024.)[22]
With plans to leaveSaturday Night Live after the1992–93 season, Rock was effectively "fired" from the show.[23][24] Beginning that fall, he appeared in six episodes of the predominantly African American sketch showIn Living Color as a special guest star.[25] The show was canceled a month after he arrived.[23] Rock then wrote and starred in the low-budget comedyCB4, which made $18 million against its budget of $6 million.[26] He signed on as client of3 Arts Entertainment.[27]
Rock headlined his firstHBO comedy special in 1994, titledBig Ass Jokes, as part ofHBO Comedy Half-Hour. His second special, 1996'sBring the Pain, made Rock one of the most acclaimed and commercially successful comedians in the industry.[28][29] Rock won twoEmmy Awards for the special and gained large critical acclaim.[30] A controversial part of the special was "Niggas vs. Black People".[30]For his much-publicized role as a commentator forComedy Central'sPolitically Incorrect during the1996 Presidential elections,[28] he earned another Emmy nomination.[31] Rock also was the voice for the "Lil Penny" puppet who was the alter ego to basketball starPenny Hardaway in a series ofNike shoe commercials from 1994 to 1998,[28] and hosted the '97 MTV Video Music Awards.Rock's first music video was for his song "Your Mother's Got a Big Head" from his albumBorn Suspect.

Everybody Hates Chris (2005–2009)
In September 2005, theUPN television network premiered a comedy series calledEverybody Hates Chris, loosely based on Rock's school days, for which he was the executive producer and narrator.

The film received mixed reviews, althoughRoger Ebert, critic ofThe Chicago Sun-Times, praised the film writing: "I laughed all the way through, in fact.

The film is a social commentary on fame and society.[48] The film premiered at the 2014Toronto International Film Festival. Scott Foundas, critic forVariety praised the film writing: "Rock has finally found a big-screen vehicle for himself that comes close to capturing the electric wit, shrewd social observations and deeply autobiographical vein of his standup comedy."[49] InRolling Stone magazine,Peter Travers wrote in his review: "Rock delivers the laughs, big ones, laced with razor-sharp observations on everything from pop culture to racial politics... His confident, prowling wit as a stand-up has finally found its way to the screen, enhanced by a bracing vulnerability.Top Five is Rock's best movie by a mile."[50]
In 2015 Rock attended theSaturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special onNBC where he introduced and paid tribute to fellow comedian and former SNL cast memberEddie Murphy.

In February 2005, Rock hosted the77th Academy Awards ceremony. The decision to have Rock host the awards was seen by some as a chance to bring an "edge" to the ceremony, and to make it more relevant or appealing to younger audiences. Jokingly, Rock opened by saying"Welcome to the 77th and LAST Academy Awards!" During one segment Rock asked, "Who is this guy?" in reference to actorJude Law seemingly appearing in every movie Rock had seen that year and implied Law was a low-rentTom Cruise (he made a joke about filmmakers rushing production when unable to get the actors they want: "If you want Tom Cruise and all you can get is Jude Law, wait [to make the film]!"). Subsequently, an angrySean Penn took the stage to present and said, "In answer to our host's question, Jude Law is one of our finest young actors." (At the time, Penn and Law were shootingAll the King's Men.) Law was not the only actor that Rockroasted that evening, however—he turned the joke on himself at one point, saying, "If you wantDenzel [Washington] and all you can get is me, wait!" Older Academy officials were reportedly displeased with Rock's performance, which did not elevate ratings for the ceremony.[65] Rock was also criticized for referring to the Oscars as "idiotic", and asserting that heterosexual men do not watch them, in an interview prior to Oscar night.[66][67]
On October 21, 2015, theAcademy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Rock would host the88th Academy Awards the following February.[68] When the subsequent acting nominations turned out to include no racial minorities, Rock was called upon to join a boycott of the ceremony. Rock declined, stating at the ceremony that it would have accomplished little since the show would have proceeded anyway, with him simply replaced.[69] Instead, Rock spoke of his concerns about the lack of diversity in AMPAS at various times during the show, closing by saying "Black Lives Matter."[70]
Rock's performance was largely praised by critics.Los Angeles Times critic Mary McNamara wrote: "Rock's Oscars had some of the most powerful moments seen in the telecast's history. His decision to honestly answer the question 'Is Hollywood racist?' was brave and effective,"[71]The New York Times television criticJames Poniewozik, praised Rock's performance for being "evenhanded without being wishy-washy" and that he represented "an example of something the industry is still trying to learn: that you can achieve both inclusion and entertainment by giving the right person just the right opportunity."[72]
Rock presented the award forBest Documentary Feature at the94th Academy Awards in March 2022. During the ceremony, Rock joked aboutJada Pinkett Smith's shaved head, which he compared toDemi Moore's shaved head inG.I. Jane, saying, "Jada, I love ya.G.I. Jane 2, can't wait to see it!". Pinkett Smith had shaved her head due toalopecia areata. Her husband,Will Smith, responded to Rock's joke by walking onstage and slapping Rock, who remarked, "Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me." Smith then returned to his seat and yelled twice at Rock, "Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!" Rock went on to say that this "was the greatest night in the history of television".[73][74][75] Later in the night, Smith was namedBest Actor forKing Richard. In his acceptance speech, he apologized to the Academy and the other nominees, but not to Rock.[76] Rock declined to file a report with theLos Angeles Police Department regarding the incident.[77]
The next day, amid public backlash, Smith issued a formal apology to Rock via a publicInstagram post, adding that "a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally." He also stated that "I was out of line" and that his behavior was "unacceptable and inexcusable... I will always be here for you whenever you are ready to talk about it."[78] During a stand-up performance in Boston later that month, Rock stated that Smith had not reached out to him personally and they had not spoken since the ceremony.[79]
Rock's subject matter typically involves family, politics, romance, music, celebrities, and race relations in the United States. Though not strictly autobiographical, much of his comic standpoint seems rooted in his teenage experience; his strict parents, concerned about the inadequacies of the local school system, arranged to have the adolescent Rock bused to a nearly all-white high school inBensonhurst. In his memoirRock This, he recalls, "My parents assumed I'd get a better education in a better neighborhood. What I actually got was a worse education in a worse neighborhood. And a whole bunch of ass-whippings."[80]
Rock has not wavered from a position explored in his 1996Roll With The New show, and reiterated in his 1997 memoir: "Why does the public expect entertainers to behave better than everybody else? It'sridiculous [ . . . of] course, this is just for black entertainers. You don't see anyone tellingJerry Seinfeld he's a good role model. Because everyone expects whites to behavethemselves [ . . . nowadays,] you've got to be an entertainer and a leader. It's too much."[81] Often the subject of tabloids, when asked about paparazzi and the other negative aspects of fame, Rock says he accepts the bad with the good: "You can't be happy that fire cooks your food and be mad it burns your fingertips."[82]
At the LondonLive Earth concert on July 7, 2007, which was broadcast live on theBBC, before introducing the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rock called the crowd "motherfuckers" and said "shit", and after a brief pause said he was joking. Due to the broadcast being at 5:45 p.m., Rock was immediately cut off, and the BBC made several apologies for his use of the word "motherfucker".[83]
Chris Rock has been an avid fan of theNew York Mets baseball team since childhood. He complained that his team "had no money" during a 2011 interview withDavid Letterman.[84]
During a 2008 rant on hisKill the Messenger tour, Rock labeledGeorge W. Bush as "the worst president ever".[85]
Rock has campaigned against theracial profiling of African-Americans, and often speaks of the everyday racism he experiences “despite being famous”.[86][87] In a2013 episode ofComedians in Cars Getting Coffee withJerry Seinfeld, Rock and Seinfeld are pulled over by the police for speeding while Seinfeld was driving. In the episode Rock admits to Seinfeld that "If you weren't here, I'd be scared. Yeah, I'm famous – still black."[88] In 2015, Rock was pulled over three times in the first three months of the year. Each time Rock posted a selfie of the incident, without further comment as to the reason for the stops or whether he was issued a citation.[89]
In May 2021, Rock voiced opposition tocancel culture.[90][91][92][93][94] He said that it has led to "boring" and "unfunny" material from comedians.[90][91][92] He also commented that there is an existing built-in mechanism for audiences informing comedians that their content does not work, like the audience not laughing at their jokes.[90][91][92] Rock went on to say "Everybody's scared to make a move. That's not a place to be. You know, we should have the right to fail becausefailure . . . failure is a part of art."[90]
Rock has said that he was influenced by the performing style of his paternal grandfather, Allen Rock, a preacher. Rock's comedy influences areBill Cosby,Redd Foxx,Dick Gregory,Flip Wilson,Richard Pryor,Steve Martin,Pigmeat Markham,Woody Allen,Bill Maher,Eddie Murphy,[95]Sam Kinison,George Carlin,Mort Sahl,[34] andRodney Dangerfield.[96]
Comedians who have cited Rock as an influence includeDave Chappelle,[34]Christian Finnegan,[97]George Lopez,[98]Kevin Hart,[99] andTrevor Noah.[100]
Rock married Malaak Compton-Rock on November 23, 1996.[101] Compton-Rock is the founder andexecutive director of StyleWorks, a non-profit, full-service hair salon that provides free services for women leavingwelfare and entering the workforce.[101] The couple lived inAlpine, New Jersey[102][103] with their two daughters.[2] In December 2014, Rock filed for divorce from Compton-Rock.[104] Rock admitted to infidelity in the marriage, as well as struggling with apornography addiction.[105] The divorce was finalized on August 22, 2016.[106]
On July 7, 2022, it was reported that Rock had started dating actress, screenwriter, and directorLake Bell. Rock later self-identified as single in his 2023 Netflix special.[107]
According to Dylan Novak, a Protestant preacher known by the online aliasCelebrity Preacher, he had an interaction with Rock where he learned that Rock's faith "did not stick with him as he grew up". In a 1989 stand-up routine, Rock remarked, "When you're black there's like no religion to turn to... It's like, Christianity? I don't think so. White people justified slavery and segregation through Christianity so a black Christian is like a black person with no... memory."[14]
According toVibe, in 2017, Rock stated during his Total Blackout Tour that he was "trying to get a little bit of religion... Not a lot," and that he wanted to "find God before God finds me". He also said that he believed in God a little bit but that he practices the religion of comedy.[108]
In 2012, Rock settled a lawsuit alleging sexual assault. Rock was not charged with a crime and has denied that the alleged rape ever occurred.[109]
