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.
