I was pretty dissappointed saturday. Has Chris Rock jumped the shark? It  
seemed like a retread of some of Chappelle’s skits and some tired old jokes  
(some seemed dated very 90’s) and some of his comments like “the government  
killed slaves that could read” “the government doesnt want people to sell  
drugs because they dont want brown skinned people to become wealthy”  
huh?? has he just lost it?

He had a couple of good jokes, but he’s sounding forced these days.

What’s that sound, Chris?

It’s Dave Chappelle catching up to you.
