CHRIS ROCK (Director/ Producer/Co-Writer of I Think I Love My Wife)
Lauded by awards and critics alike, Chris Rock is one of our generation’s strongest comedic voices. The Brooklyn-raised comedian has garnered three Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards, including a win this past year, has seen his former eponymous talk show become one of HBO’s highest-rated and most talked-about programs, and is co-creator and narrator of the acclaimed hit television series “Everybody Hates Chris,” now on the newly-formed CW network.
Rock made his directorial debut with HEAD OF STATE, which opened number one at the box office. Rock starred as an unlikely Washington, D.C. alderman chosen to be a presidential nominee, while Bernie Mac portrayed Rock’s older brother who becomes his running mate.
In September of 2005, “Everybody Hates Chris,” the Rock-inspired sitcom about a black kid in a mostly white school in 1980s Brooklyn, debuted on UPN. Since then, it has been named one of Entertainment Weekly’s “top new series,” making it the most-watched comedy in UPN’s history. Rock is the co-creator and narrator of the show. In 2006 the show earned an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, a Golden Globe nomination for Best Television Series Musical or Comedy, a Writers Guild Awards nomination for Best New Series and Television Critics Association nominations for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy and Outstanding New Program of the Year . Rock previously served as an executive producer of the hit sitcom “The Hughleys,” which aired on the UPN network.
After gaining early success as a stand-up comedian, Rock joined the cast of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” in 1989. In 1993, Rock taped his first HBO special “Chris Rock: Big Ass Jokes,” which was honored with a CableAce Award. Rock served as the sole 1996 presidential campaign correspondent for the acclaimed “Politically Incorrect,” then on Comedy Central, and received an Emmy nomination for a shared writing credit in the category of Outstanding Writing for a Variety or Music Program for the show.
Rock’s true emergence can be traced to his next HBO special, “Bring The Pain,”which was honored with two Emmy Awards for Best Writing and Outstanding Special in 1997. “Bring the Pain” was released as a home video as well as a Grammy Award-winning CD.
Rock went on to host the acclaimed “Chris Rock Show,” which began airing on HBO in 1997. Rock and his popular talk show was honored with several Emmy nominations for writing and host and received an Emmy Award for Best Writing in 1999.
