HBO Max Adds First Two Seasons Of ‘The Chris Rock Show’

HBO Max has added the first two seasons of Chris Rock’s The Chris Rock Show to their streaming service. The late-night talk show initially hit small screens from 1997 to 2000. It’s comprised of short comedy skits and stances on societal issues. Some elite celebrities that have appeared on The Chris Rock Show include Prince, George Carlin, Jesse Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Missy Elliott, Salt-N-Pepa, and more. 

The show is directed by Grandmaster Flash, a legendary DJ, and rapper. 

“We’re thrilled to have The Chris Rock Show on HBO Max so that subscribers can revisit one of comedy’s most iconic series,” said Nina Rosenstein, EVP HBO Programming.

 “Chris has never been afraid to take risks and challenge norms, and both guests and viewers embraced this. His show also provided a platform for up-and-coming talent and cutting-edge musical guests. While there are too many unforgettable comedy pieces to name, Chris’s attempt to rename a Howard Beach street to ‘Tupac Shakur Boulevard’ is a classic that instantly comes to mind. It’s one of the many examples of why we’re excited about fans and new audiences alike to watch the show.”
