Comedian Tony Rock joined VladTV for an exclusive interview about his life and career. He talked about growing up in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, which was heavily impacted by the crack epidemic of the 1980s. As the younger brother of comedic legend Chris Rock, Tony recalled the challenges his brother endured due to bullying and racial hostility. After describing his relationship with Chris and Chris' success in show business, Tony explained his delayed entry into comedy. Throughout the interview, Tony Rock highlighted his career milestones, which included being a part of the main cast on Will Smith and Jada Pinkett's sitcom, "All of Us," hosting Jamie Foxx's "Apollo Live," and appearing in "Think Like a Man." The comedian also talked about brief feuds with other figures like Bow Wow and the late Charlie Murphy. Tony Rock also offered his thoughts on the infamous Oscars incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock. To hear more, check out the full interview above.

[@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi]

He’s “down to earth” because he’s unsuccessful af

Jada and Will didn’t boycott just bc Will didn’t get nominated. They boycotted for the exact same reason Tony doesn’t watch the Oscar’s 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@iurango033]

Vlad Loves telling that story about Monique and her husband. He can’t wait to get to it in interviews lol. I love this show and this interview though!👍🏽😁

[@JeanTracey]

Interesting perspective, got me thinking!

[@Mindheartfordiversity]

This is fun to watch. Only thing is, Vlad, can you ask questions that are not about other podcasts? If people aren't watching other podcasts, they don't have enough material to discuss, and then they say they did their research or that they are a journalist. Thank you for interviewing Tony Rock, but I think there is more that can be asked. More family, development questions.

[@Thegotimeshow]

Tony Rock is the funnier brother 😂😂😂

[@Silvablack1838]

Gotta love a "ROCK" solid dude💪🏾

[@drspaanky]

Dear Vlad TV, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to propose an intriguing interview opportunity for your podcast. My cousin, known as Ghost, has an extraordinary story that I believe would captivate your audience. Ghost spent 20 years in prison, a testament to his resilience and the transformative journey he has undergone. What makes his story even more compelling is his unique background as a white Crip from Denver, Colorado. His experiences provide a rare perspective on gang culture, race dynamics, and the challenges of reentry into society after two decades behind bars. An interview with Ghost would offer your listeners a raw and authentic insight into his life, the decisions that led him to prison, and his ongoing journey of redemption. His story is one of survival, transformation, and hope, aligning perfectly with the gritty, real-life narratives that Vlad TV is known for showcasing. Thank you for considering this opportunity. I am confident that Ghost's story would make for a powerful and unforgettable episode.

[@kingxvch546]

Where was Shabbaz when Chris was getting bullied all those years?

[@readyalways1414]

Man I feel, and understand the anger Tony has when he's talking about Will slapping his brother BIG DOGGIE 💯👣 I wouldn't care how long whenever I saw him it would be what it is BIG DOGGIE 💯👣

[@shawnwayne6796]

They from Brooklyn and went to a all white school Chris got smacked and said wow

[@Altroburst]

29:22 "Because someone does something first and you don't do it because of that, you will never live life"

[@CourtDawg456]

I missed out on a lot of life because my big brother did some everything first. It took me a while to realize

[@SonnyCastilloComedy]

Chris Rock's brother ran to tattletell on me when I was supposed to open for him once. He didn't like how I promoted the show so he told his manager on me and had me kicked off the show and took money out my pocket. He wasn't gonna do anything to Will Smith. He just tried to eat off an incident that happened to Chris Rock.

[@d.cpro3751]

Damn telling like a child is crazy 😂

[@bando6197]

tattletale is crazy

[@SKing-tz3im]

One side of the story, and can't say his name, how small of you!

[@SonnyCastilloComedy]

@@SKing-tz3im he cost me some funds by being a diva about a small show, so yeah, I'll do as I please and don't have to mention his name if I don't want to. Did he block your funds? No. Okay, then you go be his friend.

Great interview....but that Chris Rock /Will Smith slap shit is played out. Who cares. Let Pookie fight his own battles. Whatever Jada and Will Smith does in they personal life is their business.

[@karimgoumiri6879]

Vlad stop with those fake laughs

[@CourtDawg456]

Tony Rock a real ninja. That shit about not being a person to count how much money another person is making, that me too. On all of us when he was the Dirk bot! That man was hilarious. I wish vlad would have asked him about will smiths manager saying something about him and Duane Martin 😂. But much respect how will put it down when he the EP. Now I know why he roasted lavell Crawford so hard when he said he was rich off his brothers fame. He from bed stuy you talk some shit you know they gotta say something back 😂 Tony Rock is a Cancer like me… do cancers be remembering shit like that 🤔?

[@awillis5307]

I would love to see you and Lamar Odom to stand face to face, because that was so unnecessary. You don't like that he cancelled stop inviting him and move on. Wack for that.

GREAT INTERVIEW !!!💥💥💥

[@cgospel2]

Let it go! The Rocks keep reminding us of the slap and they ate off of it. It would be "no comment" or "next question" if the offense was so harmful. It seems that they are more offended by Jada than Will, who actually slapped Chris, which is weird in itself.

[@SunniMerlot]

Did he mention it or was he asked

[@reddingmalik]

Vlad really is the feds tho

[@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi]

This interview was wack af. It illustrated why chris rock’s brother is a nobody. Is will smith corny? Of course. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t right to do exactly what he did to chris rock. F all that comedy bs.

[@pike8840]

Will Smith committed a Ghetto Azz Act On TV glad u liked it have a great day

@@pike8840 tf? it was a little slap. Rock was fine. I don’t get you. What’s your problem.

Not one stand up that anyone is familiar with every last one of his scenes were cut from the movie Hitch The only stand up that others are probably familiar with is the one he did after his brother was slapped.

[@iamjuice7479]

He keeps saying I was the funny guy but America does it say the same 🤷🏾‍♂️
