An HBO special edited from three performances from Chris Rock's 2008 comedy tour: London (dark suit, dark shirt), Johannesburg (black suit, white shirt) and New York (shiny jacket). Topics include the ongoing presidential campaign, the possibility of a black president, George W. Bush, gas prices, low-paid jobs, ringtones and bottled water, sex, relationships and the correct use of the n-word
Writing
Precision-tooled jokes that land like gut punches.
Direction
Three-city edit amplifies Rock's controlled fury.
Director
Marty Callner
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot during Obama's primary surge, Rock's 'first black president' material captures a nation on the verge of transformation it couldn't yet imagine.
The three-costume structure isn't vanity—Rock deliberately calibrated his aggression for each city's racial and political temperature.
