Jimmy Fallon does Cosby, Seinfeld, Foxworthy, more on American’s Got Talent

Digg!

Last night on America’s Got Talent, Jimmy Fallon made a special appearance to help promote his Emmys hosting gig going down Sunday at 8 pm EST on NBC.

Now, for you haters out there thinking, “What’s Fallon doing on a talent show? He hasn’t got any talent.” Well, we’d like to say to you attitudy Judies (to quote comedian Pete Lee), it turns out the man can do 10 second imitations of a dozen comedians. That’s talent. Right? Maybe?

You decide. Check out the video below, wherein Fallon takes some time to become Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, Chris Rock, Robin Williams, Norm Macdonald, Gilbert Gottfried, Pee-Wee Herman (not sure how he fits in here), Jeff Foxworthy, Eddie Murphy, Larry the Cable Guy, Steven Wright and Adam Sandler.

Enjoy! Or not. We don’t want to tell you how to live your life.

Chris Rock, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog: Two reasons to watch Spike’s award show

Digg!

A night for all things manly is back with Spike’s 2010 Guys Choice awards – airing Sunday (Father’s Day– get it?) at 10 pm EST. With awards like Holy Grail of Hot and Deadliest Warrior it’s the must see awards for any (stereotypical manly man). This year Chris Rock accepted the Funniest Mother Fucker award, and gave a heartwarming speech.

He ended it by taking a jab at Tiger woods complete with a grown man in the audience falling on the ground laughing so hard. It goes to show that Rock is so funny that he can make sometimes make you lose control of all bodily functions.

Bonus video! Triumph classes up the event. Check it out!


Tony Rock guests on Kevin Nealon Show at Laugh Factory

Digg!

It’s that time of the week again. (No, not recyclables). It’s another edition of the Kevin Nealon Show, filmed every Tuesday at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. And this week, Kevin’s special guest was Tony Rock, who most people know as the little brother of famous wrestler, The Rock (just kidding).

Tony treated the Laugh Factory crowd to some hilarious stand-up regarding ugly chicks, and the Jedi mind tricks they play. He also discusses what one can and shouldn’t do with 100 million dollars. Tony then sits down with Kevin to talk about how many women he can win over, and what type of girl he would like to adopt (hint: it’s dirty).

So sit down, relax, and enjoy this week’s Kevin Nealon Show!


Chris Rock talks food racism, Conan and being poor on Leno

Digg!

On a recent Tonight Show with Jay Leno interview punctuated by awkward questions about where the red-haired guy went, Chris Rock talks about his two daughters and what life was like growing up in a shoe. Rock quips that his young daughters recently got out of rehab and elaborates on a recent statement that he wouldn’t want them to get into show business.

Rock also talks about growing up with seven siblings and subsisting on breadless peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (and from the way he describes it, trying to eat these should be an Olympic sport). Finally, Rock and Leno bond over their fathers’ food racism. Ever cut the black spots out of a banana? Exactly.

Check out some highlights below!


What was Chris Rock saying to Kobe Bryant from the stands?

Digg!

Having a massive celebrity sitting in the front row of a sporting event is always a huge distraction. But what if the celebrity was one of the world’s biggest comedians – and he was busting YOUR balls? And to add insult to injury, the ball busting was entertaining his friend and cohort, David Spade? Pretty fucking distracting, right? Not For Kobe Bryant. Watch this video:

The clip leaves the lingering question, what the crap was Rock saying to get Kobe’s goat? Here are some guesses:

“This isn’t Chris Rock. It’s Jack Nicholson, doing a racist Chris Rock impression. What did you think of The Bucket List?”

“See the weasel sitting next to me? He gets laid as much as you, if not more. How does that make you feel?”

“Remember when your rape accuser showed up at the police station with another man’s pubes in her underwear? What if I told you they belonged to David Spade?”

“Aren’t you the guy from Kazaam?”

Digg!

Chris RockIn its fourth annual Guys Choice Awards, Spike TV is set to bestow the crown and scepter of the “Funniest M.F.” title to none other than Chris Rock – an aptly deserving individual of such a distinction if ever there was one. The, ahem, ceremony will be airing on June 20 at 10 pm EST but voting in a myriad of categories is open now at guyschoice.spike.com

Categories revolve around things that guys hold dearest in their beer-battered hearts, including, according to Spike “superstar athletes, the ladies we love,  hilarious comedic performances and legendary rockers.” Nominees up for honors include other comedic wunderkinds like Tracy Morgan and Zach Galifianakis, alongside perennial favorites like Olivia Wilde and George Clooney.

Adam Sandler’s ‘Grown Ups’ trailer promises every comedy cliche

Digg!

Get ready, folks for another Adam Sandler flick starring every single person you’d assume would be in a new Adam Sandler flick. We have no doubt this movie will do crazy numbers at the box office, but Grown Ups — based on the trailer anyway — looks to be a series of cliched slapstick and PG-13 humor. The story centers around a group of friends who meet up for the first time in over 30 years after their former high school basketball coach kicks the bucket.

The preview does a great job of hitting all the visuals the status quo look for in a comedy these days: Younger guy (Rob Schneider) makes out with old woman while friend (David Spade) says “Grodie”; Fat Guy (Kevin James) falls down a hill; sassy black woman says something sassy (we think), a vague jerk off joke is made (care of Adam Sandler) and for the finale, grown men pee in the pool! The magic premieres June 25.


Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan interview each other, hilarity ensues

Digg!

Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan have done a shit ton of press to promote their new flick Death at a Funeral, which is out in theaters now. But of all the print or text-based online interviews or television appearances we’ve seen, we like this one the best. So we say congrats, Moviefone for putting this together. And good day to you, readers (viewers?) for being able to watch this here. Enjoy!

PS– Ignore the crazy pixelated, huge Chris Rock-face thumbnail Moviefone used. The actual video is some slick shit.


Chris Rock recalls sage advice from Richard Pryor

Digg!

Chris Rock is a major MVP in the late guest department, and his recent appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon was up to his usual standard of excellence. When the subject of Rock producing a Richard Pryor biopic came up, Rock recalled a crude piece of advice he got from Pryor on the set of Eddie Murphy’s Harlem Nights… Enjoy!
