He also had the honor of hosting the world's biggest award show, The 77th annual Academy Awards.
In the last few years, Rock has starred in many movies including the romantic comedy "Down to Earth," which he also co-wrote, "Bad Company" and "Head of State." Rock’s other feature film credits include he hit sequel "Lethal Weapon 4" "New Jack City," "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!" with Keenen Ivory Wayans and "Beverly Hills Cop II," in which he made his feature film debut.

Rock grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. After honing his comedic skills on the comedy club circuit, he realized a long-held dream when he joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live" in 1989. In 1994, Rock emerged as a comedy star in his own right with the award-winning HBO special "Chris Rock: Big Ass Jokes." In 1996, he scored even greater success with another HBO special, "Bring the Pain," which brought Rock two 1997 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special and Outstanding Writing.
In the wake of his three highly rated, award-winning specials, Rock expanded his presence on HBO to the series "The Chris Rock Show," which brought Rock a shared Emmy for Outstanding Writing. Rock’s most recent HBO special, "Bigger & Blacker," accorded the comedian a more personal triumph, as the one-hour stand-up comedy show was taped on the stage of Harlem’s legendary Apollo Theatre. It also spawned a hit CD, produced by Rock and rap impresario Prince Paul, which won a 2000 Grammy Award for Best Spoken or Comedy Album.
