Chris Rock: TV Guide News

Bernie Mac, Comedian, Film and TV Star, Dies at Age 50. | Today's News: Our Take | 8/9/2008
Bernie Mac, who rose from playing standup gigs on Chicago's South Side to perfect his cool, outsized persona in Hollywood blockbusters as well as creating his own sitcom, has died. He was 50.The comedian died Saturday morning from complications due to pneumonia, his publicist announced, shocking family, friends and fans who had expected him to recover. "The world just got a little less funny," his Ocean's Eleven co-star George Clooney told E! Online . "He will be missed dearly."Born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, Mac started performing on Chicago's stages in 1977, at the age of 20. But he had been telling jokes in front of a crowd since he was a child, entertaining people at church, in parks and even on trains.When he was 32, he won the Miller Lite comedy search, which soon led to regular appearances on shows like HBO's Def Comedy Jam and the start of his film career.He first played a bit part as a club doorman in the Damon Wayans movie Mo' Money in 1992. Over the next decade he... read more be the first to leave a comment
Chris Rock's Brother Has a New Project | Today's News: Our Take | 6/6/2008
This fall, audiences can see the other Rock family talent in his own show: MyNetworkTV's The Tony Rock Project, a reality-comedy series. Also known as Chris Rock's younger brother, Tony has appeared in a number of shows and movies, but he's getting center stage with the new gig.In the Project, Tony Rock will conduct man-on-the-street interviews, use hidden cameras and other types of segments to shed some light, Borat-style, on society's quirks, hang-ups and stereotypes. The series comes from MyNetwork vets C to the B (who brought us Flavor Flav's Under One Roof) and Langley Productions (Jail, COPS), and will air Wednesdays at 8:30 pm/ET. Will the younger Rock keep audiences laughing? Does the format have potential, or sound played-out? — Anna Dimond read more be the first to leave a comment
I'm really enjoying Aliens in ... | Matt Roush | 10/22/2007
Question: I'm really enjoying Aliens in America, and I worry that people are missing the boat on this surprisingly funny half-hour of television. The second episode was one of the highlights of the week! The ratings are abysmal, and so few people are talking about this show that I'm worried it'll be pulled before others have the opportunity to give it a chance. What do you think about Aliens in America — does it have a fighting chance? Does the fact that it's on the CW work against it? Would its ratings be higher if it had been picked up by NBC or CBS? Answer: If Aliens were airing anywhere but the CW (except perhaps on cable), its ratings probably would be higher, but given the sorry state of the CW's overall ratings this season, it's probably just as well that a show this offbeat is airing on a network that's likely to let it ride. Despite the low ratings, Aliens in America has had generally good media buzz, which should help keep it around. I like the show, and I especially like... read more be the first to leave a comment
Everybody? No. Crazy Woman? Yes, She Hates Chris | Today's News: Our Take | 4/23/2007
Eddie Murphy could learn a thing or two from Chris Rock. Although TMZ says even the cops consider the woman accusing Chris Rock of being her 13-year-old's babydaddy a crackpot, he's offered to take a DNA test to prove that he isn't — same as he offered to a decade ago, the last time she pulled this stunt. In the meantime, she's racked up a rap sheet that's longer than an Oliver Stone script. read more be the first to leave a comment
A Likable Host for a Long, Low-Key Oscars | Matt Roush | 2/26/2007
The one thing I realized as Oscar night droned on and on for nearly four hours: If I ever had to choose someone to be stranded with for hours on end (say, like those poor Jet Blue passengers a few weeks ago), it would have to be Ellen DeGeneres.Keeping her cool, and her genuine aura of chipper goodwill, throughout three costume changes (in suits from red velvet to all-white to royal blue) and what seemed once again like an overindulgent excess of movie montages (we definitely could have done without Michael Mann’s fuzzy survey of cinematic American history), Ellen was welcome nearly every time she popped up. Offering a spec script to Martin Scorsese, directing Steven Spielberg on how to take her photo with Clint Eastwood, asking the megastars in the front row to lift their legs as she vacuumed the Kodak past midnight (ET), while informing us that Helen Mirren had just asked for a rum and coke (sounded pretty good to me at the time), Ellen did her darndest to deflate the bloat... read more be the first to leave a comment
