Chris Rock: Truth, therapy and punchlines
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 01. 2021
- Being happy - especially during COVID-19 - is more than a punchline for comedian, writer and director Chris Rock. "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King sits down for a candid conversation with the 55-year-old divorced comic, in which he discusses attending therapy during the coronavirus pandemic; forgiving the people who bullied him as a kid; whether he will get vaccinated; and stretching himself, by acting in the drama series "Fargo."

This guy really possess a positive attitude towards life. No wonder he showed self restraint towards that slap.
He's awesome.
l think it brought back bad memories, he was in shock, traumatized and transported back to school days.
Fcuk Will "Sloppy Seconds" Smith.
I think also he would have been in severe shock poor thing
@Justinian Yi Yes, and a testament to the 7 hours a week of therapy he does, really doing the work!
🙏 AMEN to that comment.
“ I forgive. people change . People get better “ -Chris Rock -
Wow what a stand up guy . 👍🏿
We won't forgive czcams.com/video/qkpME1Q7s5M/video.html
The best
That part of the interview made me cry.
Chris Rock is my Hero!!🥰❤💖❤👍🥰
I felt that way about people I went to school with. Kids do grow up and have kids of their own. People do change with time. That thought has help to make me a better person and to move on with my life in peace.
This man has been bullied all this life growing up and now we witnessed him get slapped in the face and swallow that in front of everyone. SMH sending him healing energy. I feel so horrible all of that ever happened.
yeah I feel horrible for him. Being hit like that by a bigger guy like Will Smith on TV with the whole world watching wouldve definitely brought up the childhood trauma he experienced for him. And then for Will to suffer no repercussions and be awarded and get a standing ovation it all just makes me feel sick
I agree 😢
@@ARBLACKx Thanks- you mention the size differential which not a lot of people have done. For crying out loud, he could have fallen and been seriously hurt. And then Will Smith gets a standing ovation SMH.
You feel horrible? He's single. Make him feel good.
@@IceColdProfessional that your dream, patrick?
his attitude make him look young for 55 year old man...he has a good hart
This is so sad to watch now after seeing him bullied in front of the whole world. He said he sees them as getting better. A true gentleman
He’s not getting bullied in fact he’s more beloved than ever
Lmao. He got slapped for running his mouth. He's used to it get over it lmao.
@@TheBasher-_- GO AWAY!
Probably brought it all back!
@@chicarobertson4706 No you.
7:45 teachable moment for will smith
He's a class act, seriously. Everyone walks this earth with pain. But how we choose to hold ourselves accountable for our own lives reveals character.
Well said.
Cool joke! An envious, mean-spirited, calculating, venomous 🐍
True
Celebrities and billionaires don't walk the earth with pain
@@christopherkilian9763 i think they deal with mental pain so they do
He truly is a genuinely good guy and we know all been know this. Chris deserved better from Will.
He deserved to be protected by the academy, too.
Looks like Will slapped the right guy if Will ever seeks forgiveness...
@@amykmart Chris Rock is in his own way a true Christian when taking that slap from Will Smith.
Jada didn’t deserve to be humiliated in front of her peers. Chris acted like the bullies he experienced in grade school. Pick another joke and get off the stage.
A lot of respect for Chris with the way he handles things in life including how he thinks and deals with past bullies.
And also how he deals with Will Smith’s slap.
“I’m going to assume all of my bullies are better people”
How prophetic! 😂 he is a class act in EVERY respect.
Bullied as a kid, then bullied despite his growth and success as an adult! 💔 That must have opened up old wounds. Sorry Chris - I feel for you
All that therapy is also how you can keep calm if will smith slaps you in front of the world live….
Wow. This interview explains a lot. Watching this after the Will Smith-slapping debacle at the Oscars. It makes total sense to me now how Chris Rock was able to keep his composure. It seems he really took to heart all the lessons he's learned from his past difficult experiences, and to just rise above them and the bullies. And that is why and how he turned out to be the better man in that situation.
Exactly! I wish I can have the same reaction if I ever get slapped, but I know I would result to violence. Especially because I have also been bullied when I was a kid.
@@luisramrod9121 Yeah. He handled that with a lot of composure and grace. I've never been bullied. But I think anyone's natural reaction is to hit back in defense.
I think also survivors of trauma with ptsd act just like him when he was slapped , I mean he was assaulted in front of everyone and he would have been in so much shock , the whole thing was so horrifying and horrible
Mark Twain humor.
A raw depiction of the world we live in. Gotta laugh; or you cry.
He used to be my neighbor .
Jada's shiny little Dome like you never seen czcams.com/video/qkpME1Q7s5M/video.html
I really just like Chris Rock. I can feel his bravery, humor and sincerity. I believe him. God bless you Mr Rock
Amen
He’s adorable
I'm going to assume that all my bullies are better people today and...that they teach their children well..........Well said Mr. Rock.....Great mindset
*3-30-22*
*Sending out a hug to you Mr. Chris. Continue to give it to God, and keep your peace* !.
This makes me love Chris Rock even more!
👍🏼❤️
Yup...except all i can hear when she speaks is ...
ROBERT ROBERT
Rock is fantastic !
Man I love Chris Rock …. he’s so right …bullies from childhood- forgiveness … hoping they’re better people-- I needed to hear that I was bullied a lot …. 40 years later I still have no interest in going back to my hometown
*If you do, keep your head up, smile, and wish them well. That's your hometown too* !
I advise you dont go. Have new start surround yourself with good people away from a*sholes. The world is filled with other amazing people to be around. Beautiful places. New start new town.
Chris is kind and genuine man,
Honestly, I haven't been too familiar with Chris Rock. Obviously, I know who he is, heard a few clips of his material- but not much beyond that. I was so impressed with how he handled himself at the Oscars and did some "googling"....he appears to be a solid man of character. I wish him all the best of everything from here on out.
I love and respect this man more than ever, He is in my prayers.
I smiled, calmly, at the end of this piece. Great. Chris Rock is at peace with his life and himself.
Such a genuinely nice, caring man! Wishing him more good fortune after the recent events as he deserves it!!
We love you Chris
just a good person
I love this guy. My depression gets better listening to him. He just is darn right funny and true.

This man is a very genuine person. He has a beautiful spirit!
His comment comparing police with airplane pilots is priceless. There are certain careers that failure is not an option. Love it!!
AGREED!!
and it's staggering how little some pilots get paid, even when they first reach the level they're the primary on the craft. Literally have dozens of lives in their hands and not coming in at much above poverty level.
@@kevinw712 That is a crime!
@@kevinw712
As a 19 airline veteran...regional are THE worst.
Mesa being the WORST.
That was the single truest thing I ever heard anyone say
Mr. Rock showed dignity and style during this Academy Awards show. He smoothly carried on with grace and class!!
indeed, and yet all we're hearing about is the one who assaulted him on live TV, while doing his job, in front of the entire world watching, smh
His character has been proven. This is a good man.
Watching this interview makes me 😢more on what happened to him recently. Just a guy trying to make and live life better (positive outlook). OMG I liked his comedy before but now I love this guy beyond his comedy and how he took the higher road in all of this and showed adult restraint. Wow.
I wasn't familiar with his work, I mean of course I knew who he was but I never watched a movie or seen a stand up by him, but man... After the Oscar incident he has won a fan, I saw some of his stand up shows on CZcams, he's an amazing comedian and seems like the sweetest person ever, I wish him all the best ❤️ Chris rock.. Rocks
Wow you dont? He is marty from madagascar the movie. I am Saudi Arabian and i went to Australia exclusively to see his stand up show back in 2017. How you are not familiar with his work🤭
Same!
He is full of compassion even when he could have been full of bitterness, he chose to be full of compassion, meaning Will Smith could too but chose not to. We can all be compassionate human beings if we choose to. Xo Chris Rock we need more people like you❤️And I am single too😘
Will is getting help his not a bad guy he is troubled.
I hope Will's getting help!
Maturity suits him very well! He looks handsome, rested and ready for the next chapter in his life since,unbelievably, in four short years he will be 60!
He looks great at 55! Plus, he is eternally youthful.
Really?! Wow. He looks great.
@@ScarletQue he’s a rich 50 something
He has aged well
Wtf? He looks like in his late 20 😱😱😱😱
Watching this interview, I could find out that Chris Rock is really a wonderful and good hearted person. There’s no malice in his heart. He’s very funny and cheerful. He didn’t deserve what happened to him at the Oscar’s. I loved the way he conducted himself in the theater, he’s a real gentleman!! He didn’t deserve such lawlessness coming from Will.
What a beautiful soul.
After watching this I admire him even more now! But watching this also made me feel worse about what happened to him at the Oscars…. Bless his heart!!
Watching this after what Will Smith did to Chris breaks my heart…
"I forgive " such powerful words Chris said. No wonder he won't press charges against Will. Such an amazing guy! God bless and keep you Chris!🤗🙏🏾
Forgiveness is dangerous and overrated.
“You can’t swim in a fire hydrant.” -Chris Rock. 😆
This gave me chills!!! Look at how GOD went before Chris and healed him before all this happened!! Truly amazing how this folded out! God is doing things even when we don’t see it!! SO PROUD OF YOU CHRIS!!!!✊🏻💪🏻❤️ Hope you and Gail share your traveling adventures with us. ✈️
Absolutely!!!!
God bless this man ❤️
I really like his attitude about his past bullies, assuming and hoping they developed into somebody better. I noticed once that lots of people talk about having been bullied, but no one seems to talk about having been a bully. Maybe it's partly because none of us want to view ourselves in that light, or because we're ashamed.
Eventually they F#@k with the wrong person and get a much deserved beat down.
@@stoundingresults Most of the time, yes.. But occasionally you’ll see a wealthy old man still calling people names.
A lot of these former bullies are at the workplace. They can't do it like they did in school but it slips out every now and then.
being racially terrorized isn't being bullied
True. We naturally always want to be the protagonist but never the villain in our own story.
I think Chris Rock could possibly win an Oscar in the future.
Of course I knew who Chris Rock was. I've seen a few movies he's been in with my dad, and I liked him well enough. Never heard any of his standup specials before.
I liked him then. I didn't think I could ever love and admire him.
Until now. After seeing the dignity, grace, and positivity with which he handled the ridiculousness that was Will Smith's Oscar moment of madness, I became a fan. I listed to his most recent special, and now I'm watching this.
My respect for him has grown exponentially. Much love, and all our prayers, good thoughts, and support to you, Chris.
For those who didn't know before, this is what GOOD people do.
I watched this interview when it aired and just rewatched it now. I still ❤ Chris Rock!!! And Gayle too of course!!!
TRUTH: "You can be good at anything YOU'RE good at as long as they're HIRING!!"😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😊
True. 😄😄
The correct quote is: “You can be anything you’re GOOD at... as long as they’re hiring!”
🤣🤣🤣
Everybody hates Chris was a fairly accurate depiction of his childhood. He overcame alot
Seems like from this interview that, even as cathartic as making that show must have been - not to mention becoming ridiculously wealthy as a result - it still wasn’t enough to get him to move on from the bullying. That’s fascinating. Only therapy seems to have helped put it into context from him.
@@emiliabolsas y’all should watch his interview with Neal Brennen. Chris goes real deep
He created and wrote the episodes based on his childhood antics.
Very cool interview and definitely explains alot about why he was able to take that slap so well. Strangely, I think a part of him, was concerned about Will, because it was out of Will's character.
Chris Rock believes people get better with time. The truth is: If you're not willing to put in the hard work to improve the outcome, you will continue down that rabbit hole for a lifetime. Some people learn and come out stronger, but others choose what's familiar. Self care is extremely important if you want to succeed in your personal space and face the world around you with a new found purpose.
wow he's really mature and forgiving. great job he did at the oscars.
He may have been unkind or not listened well enough or any number of other transgressions, but I woke up this Sunday feeling kinda terrible (chronic pain, etc.), and for 9 minutes and 2 seconds, I forgot about how much I'm hurting and had a smile on my face. Thank you, Chris Rock, and Sunday Morning. An aside, I'm constantly surprised by the small number of views these shows receive online. People just do NOT know what they are missing. I hope they find out in 2021. Here's to a wonderful, easy, fun, free year -- for everyone! If you're reading this, I send you lots of good juju. :)
Blessings from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. Best of health for 2021. I agree with you....
Hi Ani, thank you for sharing how you are in chronic pain and how this program distracts you so you forget about the pain. I too suffer from chronic pain, I too have a smile on my face and am Grateful for Sunday Morning and for my being led to your comment. I spend 9/10ths of my days laying down, to prevent the pain from rising its hydra-head. Yes, we are Blessed in that we are able to find JOY in the little things. I wish you peace, hope and serenity always. Thank you for being my Angel for today. NAMASTE 🙏
Chronic pain never goes away but when someone makes you laugh or it makes you forget about it for a while it's so good it's so good that you remember it and you try to find it again I love Chris Rock I suffer from it too and you're not alone I'm sorry
Sunday Morning has been a staple for me since I was a child. Glad it still resonates and transports.
Thank you very much
He's a nice guy!
Wouldn’t it be great to be friends with Chris? I’d probably have to wear a Depend so I wouldn’t pee my pants from laughing so much. 🤣 We love you Chris.
Dave Chappelle is amazing but younger people today don't know how good and revered Chris was in the 90s and early 2000s. Bring the Pain, Bigger & Blacker, and Never Scared are masterpieces.
Totally agreed. Watching those had the same effect as the first time watching RAW & Delirious.
I love those... my favorite is never scared... I wish he would return that form of comedy...
Bruh he was vicious
Those specials literally made me cry-laughing. I never cry-laugh.
Yep. Chris Rock spent years being exemplary as a comedian. 'Bring The Pain' shook it up. 🔥
Chris Rock has such a great spirit and personality. So happy to have been a fan of this man for 30 years and counting
Chris, you’re an outstanding man. I applaud you.
Chris left a message on my answering service years ago ( because his cousin is a good friend of mine) and knew I was trying to get acting work. He said, 'I heard about the acting, and I'll see what I can do' in his classic Chris voice. It was a nice surprise when I heard that message. Glad to see he's doing better in life, personally.
Did he ever put u on?? ,What did he do?
We love Chris!
i have a new level of respect for you Chris Rock! sending peace and healing energy your way sir!
You know why you’re here right now again
He is more mature than will
love you Chris! not a thousands slap, would change what an amazing person you are!
So true👍🏼Mr. Rock is amazing!
Thank you for your comment. I agree with you 💯
Love Chris Rock!♥
Rock has what George Carlin said all great comics have: the ability to be reductive. To boil seemingly complex issues down to a simple, hilarious truth. “Do I know what’s in Tylenol?” 🤣
I agree
love what u typed !
Well said.
Oh God! The wish he has for his bullies, says a lot about him.
May he be blessed always, and in all ways xx
Wow what a stand up guy….not surprising how he handled will smith
Wow, this is amazing man that after being bullied he talked about his life, some of the things he did and can still pretty much turn the other cheek when Will Smith smacked him. I thank God he has been working on himself trying to do the right thing and live a good life. I respect how you handled the situation at the awards!
May God bless you and may your career continue to prosper! ❤️
IDK what's in Tylenol, I just know my headache goes away. YES!!!
right? good man!
I love Chris! He’s flawed and he doesn’t hide his flaws. He’s so real! His truth is refreshing for a world that’s mostly faking their reality. It’s brave to own your truth and embrace fear and growth. Chris is brilliant on many levels and what a gift that he shares his brilliance with all of us. No surprise he’s excellent in dramatic roles. He’s made me laugh for so many years and really think too.
Thanks, Chris. ☮️💟🌞
Chris's smile is infectious. The interview was uplifting. It would be great to hang out with him. I gotta say though, he wasn't very believable as mob boss in that clip. 😀

I liked Chris Rock before, but after watching this video, I like him even more. And he handled the Oscars with grace and class.
I love this guy
He seems sweet
His 7 hours a week therapy helped him not react wildly.
I remember the days from even before SNL and his HBO shows and specials and on and on…. His act has message…
Chris has an optimistic point of view of life and people. He knows who he is and his place in this world which grounds him. Yes that slap embarrassed him but he took the high road because of his beliefs. He will continue to be rewarded for his stance before his fans and the world ❤️
It's refreshing to hear such positivity from Chris Rock. I hope things are looking up for all of us this year.

I always loved when Chris said that forget the guns, Charge $1000.00 per bullet.
I think it was 5k! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You gotta really contemplate if it’s worth it! Lol.
@@anneb889 it could have been! It’s been a while since I saw that, but I still remember how I reacted to this.

Chris is honest with himself, hasn't created a fake persona around himself like Will have of the perfect life.
@@TheWrestlingful Agree. Just think he going through a mid life crisis of sort. Chapelle said once, success takes you where your character can't substain you. This is so true of Will
Indeed he is and sounds like he is in a better place in his life.
He looks great!
He looks great. He really looks happy and I'm so happy for him.
"No, YOU don't live here"....LOL. So glad he didn't find the $10/hr job.

What a beautiful human being. I have enormous respect for Chris. He is very coherent when he speaks, unlike Will Smith.
Fantastic Chris Rock interview. The real Chris Rock is so wonderful. A good person when he is himself and not making a joke to hide behind. There should be more media coverage about him. The funniest comedian EVER!
go witch real czcams.com/video/U499hJc9CWQ/video.html sub
Agreed ✍🏻
I've loved Chris Rock since his hilarious role as Boney T in _Boomerang_ and love him now even more. To rise above all the bullying he endured during his childhood, and now on national TV, shows what a wonderful man he truly is.
"I've lived a life" - Chris Rock. Needed to hear that today.
That part spoke to me as well. I'm 51 and I have lived a life. Now I'm going into this new and rest of my life. I feel great and I'm not taking any prisoners. LOL!
I've always loved Chris Rock. After this interview, I love him even more!
He speaks the truth, and that's no BS! Keep the comedy coming, Chris!💙☺👍
I don't even really care all that much for his brand of comedy, but I'm sitting here crying because he seems so humble and genuine. Bless him.🌦🌈
Chris I have more respect ✊🏾 for you now than ever…….. you took that slap and still added humor to it. Sorry for your pain that you silently endured and any humiliation you feel. I am sure Jada may have felt some hurt as I also deal with severe hair loss…… I understand what Will may have been feeling. I honestly get both sides….. you bring humor and Will was trying to protect his wife. I believe I may have wanted to come to my rescue; just not that way. Don’t hurt anyone over my hurt…… I think we all need to stop inflicting pain and just practice being kind. Obviously All involved have pain that may be unspoken ….Sending, Love, Light, and HEALING YOUR WAY ❤️❤️🩹😘
He’s genuinely a strong man.
Hold him to it, Gayle! Would love to travel with Chris Rock to places he (nor Gayle) have been before. He’s in discovery mode.
Remember when Oprah & Gayle would travel/go on the road?
How great would it be if Chris went with them on a few trips (after COVID)?
@@yankeeladee02 that's a series idea right there
@@christenford3864 - The three of them would have me laughing my head off. Not to mention- always learning something from each of them. Intelligent humor.🤓😁
Yes, Gayle: get your bags ready!
Chris Rock is amazing. His standups got me through my first break up and have since been part of my antidote to sadness whenever life sends some my way. It was super therapeutic for me. He's a true treasure to American culture-and the world!
He's a keeper, Gayle! Hold him to it! You would be laughing most of the time. I've always liked him, and I always will.
I like this man all the more.
Always loved Chris Rock. And still do...he is a smart guy
