Chris Rock returned to the stage in New York City on December 31, 2007, ringing in the new year at Madison Square Garden with his No Apologies tour.

Lauded by awards and critics alike, Chris Rock is one of our generation's strongest comedic voices. The Brooklyn-raised comedian has garnered three Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards and has seen his former eponymous talk show become one of HBO's highest-rated and most talked-about programs.

Rock's true emergence as a celebrated stand-up talent can be traced to his second HBO special, "Bring The Pain," which was honored with two Emmy Awards for Best Writing and Outstanding Special in 1997. Rock went on to host the acclaimed "Chris Rock Show," which began airing on HBO in 1997 and received an Emmy Award for Best Writing in 1999.

His next HBO stand-up special, "Bigger & Blacker," taped on the stage of Harlem's Apollo Theatre, earned three Emmy nominations for Rock, while the CD went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Spoken or Comedy Album. Rock's most recent HBO special, "Never Scared," aired in April 2004, was nominated for two Emmys, its CD also earning the Grammy for Best Comedy Album. In 2003, Rock embarked on the Black Ambition Tour that ran in 64 North American cities with over 80 shows through March of 2004.

Rock currently serves as both co-creator and narrator of the acclaimed hit television series "Everybody Hates Chris," on The CW network and co-stars as the voice of Mooseblood the Mosquito in the animated "Bee Movie." He recently starred in, wrote and directed the film "I Think I Love My Wife."
