Comedian Chris Rock's blunt, urban honesty quickly gained him a wide following. His stand-up success led to slots on the sketch comedy shows Saturday Night Live (1990-1993) and In Living Color (1993-1994) and to roles in several movies, including New Jack City (1991), CB4 (1993), and Lethal Weapon 4 (1998). In 1997 he began his own talk show—The Chris Rock Show —on HBO (Home Box Office). His comedy albums include Born Suspect (1991) and Roll with the New (1997).
