Yet his coverage of the 1996 presidential campaign for Politically Incorrect, as well as his award-winning HBO specials Chris Rock: Big-Ass Jokes and Bring the Pain, which led to his current late-night HBO show, The Chris Rock Show, paved the way for his current late-night HBO show, The Chris Rock Show.
