Chris Rock brings his stand up back to HBO this fall with a new special shot from three different performances.
Debuting Saturday, Sept. 27, "Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger" combines footage shot at South Africa's Carnival City Casino, New York's legendary Apollo Theatre and the Carling Apollo Hammersmith in London.
"Chris Rock is a master of insightful comedy who never fails to engage his audience," notes Nancy Geller, senior vice president, HBO Original Programming. "He has a unique voice that surpasses mere comedy."
"I wanted to do the type of stand-up special that I've never seen before, and the only place that I could see doing that is at HBO," says Rock. "I love HBO because they want to take chances."
"It is certainly a fun challenge doing something radical with an artist of the magnitude and talent of Chris Rock," observes Marty Callner, who is directing the special, and executive producing along with Rock. "Of course, it shouldn't be a surprise when you blend a brave artist with a brave network."
