Chris Rock Keeps Us Laughing

May 13, 2002

In May 2002, Chris broke the news that he and his wife, Malaak, had just learned that their first child was going to be a girl. And was Chris ever relieved! "I would have been too hard on a boy," Chris joked. "I would have been smacking a boy upside the head every day. 'Boy, you know how the white man's gonna treat you? Come on, get up, it's 4 in the morning. Go to work.' 'I'm only 4, Dad.'"
