Oh no! This is how I found out about John Mulaney getting divorced. I just googled it, and that whole situation is wild.

[@YeeSoest]

Same. Man, his past statements about "life would be so stupid without you" and what he described on stage, I really thought she'd be really helpful and important for his health right now. This sucks.

[@annieswitt]

@@YeeSoest it's sucks because you can tell they really loved each other but a big part of recovery is reevaluating relationships so it makes sense

[@lonelyone]

It sounds like he slept around a lot. He's tall, rich and funny, so he can easily find another partner.

[@devin4950]

He upgraded....

[@craneanderson2317]

Chris can always make you laugh so hard. 30 years ago, 30 years after, ain't matter. Genius.

[@alejolopera]

How difficult It must be to interview this man hahahahaha

[@derekerickson2529]

Have you seen Tracy Morgan interviewed? Hah same vibe

[@ranelgallardo7031]

I think Chris Rock interviewing Jimmy Fallon will be the easiest task.

That's right!! Dr Dolittle is where I know Chris Rock from originally...I always forget that lol

[@yuusource2275]

"This aint't a talk show, issa yell show" funny as hell.

Seeing Jimmy trying to laugh at the Jheri Curl joke, knowing he didn't understand, was funny to me haha

[@ScarlettJ1221]

Lmao "I used my celebrity" 😂😂😂

[@YeeSoest]

I can totally understand Chris' continued escalation of fear in front of Eddie Murphy. I guess it's part experience with Eddie's sharp wit and humor that makes you reconsider each joke you make in fear of it not living up to the standard he sets and part the rare feeling for a true comedy legend to not be the biggest fish in the pond for once, that puts you out of your comfort zone and an achieved comedian. That's just the reasoning I'm building from my own experience as a somewhat funny dude who met funnier dudes (and some actual comedians) in the past and didn't know how to act or how to maintain confidence. So...just a hunch but...plausible, I believe

[@sharonsmith9694]

Chris Rock will forever be the best

Comedian supreme is right. But also a very good actor! He tore it up in the Fargo series. So good.

[@lerorz8517]

this is a rare sight, a chris rock without any comment of recent events

[@JAMinerViews]

“You think I’m jokin... I really did”

[@anonamouse.p4115]

I think I caught that, he supports Mulaney and not his Wife who he said was there for him when he first was getting clean when they were together. Chris Rock has two lovely Daughters, is he going to excuse a man who may hurt one of his Daughters (if they prefer Men)? I am not for Cancel Culture or completely sanitised Comedy, but a Joke at Anna Maria Tendler's expense in her circumstance is not Cool at all. Not COOL, ROCK.

[@JAMinerViews]

@@anonamouse.p4115 I mean.. that's not where I was going with that.. Rock's wife did well in the divorce (deservedly or not) and Rock was so impressed with his ex-wife's lawyer, he recommended them to Mulaney. Shit happens. Relationships fall apart.. especially if it may have started out in recovery... Infidelity isn't cool.. but also people DO grow out of who they were and can make bad decisions on what to do about it.. I'm not gonna judge nor take it personal unless it IS personal... nor do I think he took a shot at Mulaney's wife.. just what it is. A divorced man giving another man advice based on his own experience.. Love is beautiful. Relationships are beautiful. But a breakup/divorce can bring out the worst of the worst. I have 2 ex-sis-in-laws (neither bc infidelity). Still nasty.

The audience 'ooed' at the Mulaney divorce mention, but I bet they'd be in stitches if it was a Bill Gates divorce joke.

[@peachy-tay]

are you saying bill gates is is a more likeable person than mulaney

[@GeronFletcher]

@@peachy-tay he’s saying it’s weird people would be more ok with Bill being divorced but mulaney is all on drugs and alcohol and cheating and people wanna act like it’s something you can’t touch. Which is way worse than bills divorce situation

WITHOUT HUMOUR, WE ARE DEAD!!! Stupid people: check out the world and you bloody tell me what race is PURE these days. Pick up your fucking books and look at the WORLD. MIXES RUN THE WORLD. Dump the fucking race card; most folk are MIXED!!! MIXED!!! Basta con esta mierda!!! Just look at the East: while we waste time on things irrelevant, the Dragon strengthens!!! Ah, but here we are, wasting time on topics that will NEVER be fully resolved because they're impossible to nail. At the rate we're going, the East will rule us.

Don't worry. It reached me. Thank you for caring about me.

[@kristinemunholland8980]

@@nomadichunter2818 Holy crap. If this is really you, I am speechless. Well, almost! ;) I love everything I've ever seen you do. "Head of State", "Good Hair", "Top Five", hosting the Oscars - hell, I STILL laugh over your scenes in "IGGYS" - "come on man, look out for a brother - why don't you let me get a sip for 15 cent?" LMFAO. Your Letterman appearances are unparalleled. Only you would have the audacity and enough of his respect to drag him over the coals after his affairs were exposed. Brilliant. I loved when he gave you grief over his omission in "Top Five". And "Bring the Pain" is, IMHO, simply the best stand-up special ever. Ever. It's not even close. Lastly, before I knew your Dad's name was 'Julius', I hoped your middle name was in honor of Dr. J., though I now realize your birth year made that impossible. I am sorry your Dad didn't live to see all your hard-earned success. And I hope you weren't truly wrecked financially by your divorce. You surely deserve all the rewards your talent has wrought. Blessings in all things going forward.

Man, Chris Rock should do a movie with Ron White. Maybe they could go fishing on “Lake Mead” with Ron hired as a fishing guide (Ron looks similar to Bill Dance). They (Ron and Chris) could get in an argument then Ron could throw his a-off the boat into the water - then the boat won’t start so Ron can leave Chris - then Chris blows a whistle and a basketball team shows up in another “armed” protection boat-- then Ron blow his air horn and the “Cajon Navy” shows up to help defend Ron... I dunno, it could be actually be a demented alternative to Daddy’s Home (movie reference)... call it different daddy’s? Some big booty women show up after that and start swimming with Ron and Chris and then it turns into a big party and Mr. T shows up out of now where as Chris‘a uncle out on the water checking on him... Okay, back to my drug rehab meeting.... (Lol) Back to work really, hope someone laughed.
