(edit)
At first, Chris did not tell his parents about working the comedy clubs until 3 or 4 in the morning. His parents confronted him one night on suspicion he was out doing drugs. When Chris confessed he was just doing stand-up comedy, his parents were very relieved.

Chris was offered the job of hosting The Academy Awards four times before finally accepting it.

Chris Rock and Chris Farley were hired by Lorne Michaels for Saturday Night Live on the same day. Chris shared an office and dorm with Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, and David Spade during his stay with the show.
(edit)
Chris's grandfather was Alan Rock, a reverend, and a lot of his comedic style comes from this family member.
(edit)
Chris: No one wants to sleep with me. Girls are like, 'I want you to read this book.' It's never, 'We should go to a hotel.'
(edit)
Chris: I had a one minute part in this movie I'm Gonna Get You Sucka (1988) and its probably the most memorable role I've ever had. People still come up to me and mention it. This just goes to show you that it's not the size of the role that counts, it's what you do with it.
(edit)
Chris: My father was a strict disciplinarian. Whenever I said I just wanted to be somewhere early, he would say: 'There's no such thing as early, it's just on time and late'.
(edit)
Chris: Being a comedian is sort of like being a psychic. You tell us three things about yourself and we'll tell you three more things you didn't know.
(edit)
Chris: It's my responsibility to rock the house every single time. No matter what.
