Hi, we're backstage
at the Trevor Berbick Theater.

00:00:15,042 --> 00:00:17,332
This is where we tape
The Chris Rock Show.

the Black experience,
13
00:00:46,208 --> 00:00:48,128
so I fired 'em.
14
00:00:48,208 --> 00:00:50,288
And how could I forget
the night Marion Barry

Ooh, I caught
a lot of flak for that.

But, hey, Chris stands by
his friends.
18
00:00:56,167 --> 00:00:59,127
A lot of people don't know this,
but I'm the second Chris Rock.

I want to thank everybody

00:02:16,208 --> 00:02:18,078
Fun to be doing a show

the home of the crack priest.

That's right, we got
a crack priest in New York.

Cr-- It's like--
You know what I'm talking about,
43
00:02:26,583 --> 00:02:29,003
the priest was recently caught
smoking crack
44
00:02:29,083 --> 00:02:30,633
while writing a sermon.
45
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:32,960
I'm not even making this up.
46
00:02:33,042 --> 00:02:35,502
Now what the hell does
a crack sermon sound like?
47
00:02:36,375 --> 00:02:39,165
"And on the sixth day,
God created crack.
48
00:02:40,208 --> 00:02:43,128
And on the seventh day,
he sold his VCR."

Okay, uh, we got--
we gotta talk about O.J.,

have to talk about O.J.
52
00:02:49,083 --> 00:02:50,503
Now, O.J.,
you know what happened,
53
00:02:50,583 --> 00:02:52,463
he's getting ready
to lose a lot of money.
54

You know, you lose
a lot of money,
55
00:02:54,458 --> 00:02:57,168
he might have to move
back with his mother
56
00:02:57,250 --> 00:02:58,540
'cause he might lose his house.
57
00:02:58,625 --> 00:03:00,535
Now, you know,
his mother's a old lady.
58
00:03:00,625 --> 00:03:02,785
She's too old
to be picking up behind O.J.

is this your blood?"

a lot of golf lately.

But now, he's, like,
complaining, like,
64
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:25,380
he can't play at the posh
country clubs anymore, no.
65
00:03:25,458 --> 00:03:27,288

where he had he has to play

71
00:03:37,292 --> 00:03:39,042

neighborhood.

two hundred thousand dollars
when he fell out of bounds,
88
00:04:24,167 --> 00:04:25,077

and kicked the cameraman.
89

cameramen would get out the way.

And they're gonna get everything
that the male NBA players get.
101

They're gonna get
million-dollar shoe contracts,

for the Marines.

Riddick Bowe in the Marines?

Riddick Bowe got
like 100 million dollars.
113
00:05:24,917 --> 00:05:27,707
Hundred million. It's like,
"Riddick, drop down, give me 20.

to endorse St. Ides Malt Liquor.

St. Ides Malt Liquor.
119
00:05:40,583 --> 00:05:43,333

I got fucked up the first time."

Now, every
Black neighborhood has
125

a Martin Luther King Boulevard,
or a Malcolm X Boulevard.
126
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,170
But there's never been a street
named after a slain Black icon

I went to Howard Beach
129
00:06:18,083 --> 00:06:22,333
to see if I could get people
to sign a petition
130
00:06:22,417 --> 00:06:25,037
to rename one
of their greatest streets
131
00:06:25,125 --> 00:06:26,995
into Tupac Shakur Boulevard.

I'm telling you that he stinks,
his music stinks.
135
00:06:34,292 --> 00:06:36,172
And I'm not interested
136
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,790
in having this boulevard's
name changed
137
00:06:38,875 --> 00:06:40,875
to a piece of dirt like him.
138
00:06:48,167 --> 00:06:49,627

I'm not gonna stop
for nobody who's not a cop.
143

-Have a good day.
-All right.

Do you think that--
okay, on the serious side,
273
00:12:23,208 --> 00:12:25,458
do you think it's possible
for a poor man

to get a fair trial
in this country?
275
00:12:27,167 --> 00:12:29,207
It's real hard for a poor man
to get a fair trial, Chris.
276
00:12:29,292 --> 00:12:30,582
I mean,
there's no question about it.
277
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:32,997
If you don't have the finances
to level the playing field,
278
00:12:33,083 --> 00:12:34,503
prosecution has
all the resources,
279
00:12:34,583 --> 00:12:35,753
and it's very difficult.
280
00:12:35,833 --> 00:12:37,543

to address in this country,
281
00:12:37,625 --> 00:12:39,535

for everybody,
282
00:12:39,625 --> 00:12:41,205

a fair trial.

-no question about it.
-Wow, you know, I've got--
292
00:13:01,917 --> 00:13:03,457

294
00:13:05,333 --> 00:13:07,083
-...that may need your help.
-All right.
295
00:13:07,917 --> 00:13:09,997
Now, you went after--
296
00:13:10,083 --> 00:13:12,543
Your big thing is going after
the police departments.
297
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:14,705
You know, you're--
that's your thing.
298
00:13:14,792 --> 00:13:18,382
And I remember, in our
pre-interview thing, you said...
299
00:13:18,458 --> 00:13:22,078
years ago, it was unheard of
to go after a police department.
300
00:13:22,167 --> 00:13:25,127
When we first started trying
cases of police brutality,
301
00:13:25,208 --> 00:13:27,418
nobody in L.A.
had ever won a case, ever.
302
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:29,210
And now, you know,
it's commonplace now.
303
00:13:29,042 --> 00:13:31,422
Because, see, people wanted to
bury their heads in the sand.
304
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:33,630
Police do a fine job
in most communities,
305
00:13:33,708 --> 00:13:36,708
but not all police
always tell the truth, or--
306
00:13:36,792 --> 00:13:38,172
and sometimes
they beat people up.
307
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:40,040
And so we tried to argue this
for years,
308
00:13:40,125 --> 00:13:41,285
and now we've demonstrated that.
309
00:13:41,375 --> 00:13:43,165
And I think it's made for
better police departments.
310
00:13:43,250 --> 00:13:44,960
And it's made for
a better society.
311
00:13:45,042 --> 00:13:46,752
People should stop burying
their heads in the sand.
312
00:13:46,833 --> 00:13:48,833
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

00:13:53,042 --> 00:13:55,002
Now, what was the craziest--
314
00:13:55,083 --> 00:13:56,133
I mean, what was one of the--
315
00:13:56,208 --> 00:13:58,078
Just give me an example
of police brutality
316
00:13:58,167 --> 00:14:00,127
that no one would ever
think would happen.
317
00:14:00,208 --> 00:14:01,668
Well, I was trying a case
of a client
318
00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:03,960
who, uh, basically,
the police broke his neck.
319
00:14:04,042 --> 00:14:06,252
It was a real sad case.
This man had eight children.
320
00:14:06,333 --> 00:14:07,253
In the course of the trial,
321
00:14:07,333 --> 00:14:09,753
the lawyer for
the county of Los Angeles
322
00:14:09,833 --> 00:14:12,043
was gonna demonstrate--
they hog-tied this man,
323
00:14:12,125 --> 00:14:13,995
and he was going to
demonstrate for the jury
324
00:14:14,083 --> 00:14:16,173
how that wasn't so bad,
to be hog-tied.
325
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,130
You know, where you have
your hands behind your back
326
00:14:18,208 --> 00:14:21,668
and you have your legs cuffed
and you hook them together.
327
00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:24,080
And he allowed himself to
get on the table in the trial,
328
00:14:24,167 --> 00:14:26,037
to be handcuff--
to be hog-tied.
329
00:14:26,125 --> 00:14:28,825
After a while, he turned so red
he could hardly talk.
330
00:14:28,917 --> 00:14:30,917
And I just pointed, I said,
"That's exhibit number one,
331
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,170
ladies and gentlemen
of the jury."
332
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,130
And it was just--
it was so graphic.
333
00:14:34,208 --> 00:14:37,168
Even he learned
how tough it was.
334
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,920
Wow, man. Whoa.
335
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,500

(LAUGHING)
341
00:14:50,958 --> 00:14:52,748
CHRIS: I saw you in Jet.
342
00:14:53,917 --> 00:14:56,127
You had a Rolls-Royce
before O.J., man.
343
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,380
You're living good, man.
344
00:14:58,458 --> 00:15:01,208
So, now-- Let me address--
345
00:15:01,292 --> 00:15:03,582
Do you think that, you know,
the media in the country
346
00:15:03,667 --> 00:15:05,207
is treating you unfairly?
347
00:15:05,042 --> 00:15:07,172
You know,
I accept what takes place.
348
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,580
But, I mean,
let me put it this way.
349
00:15:08,667 --> 00:15:11,747
That I think that if, um,
under the circumstances--
350
00:15:11,833 --> 00:15:13,083
There are a lot of people
in the media
351
00:15:13,167 --> 00:15:15,497
who pre-judged the Simpson case,
352
00:15:15,583 --> 00:15:17,173
and they pre-judged
everything we did.
353
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,750
And, um, I think that
if I were white,
354
00:15:19,833 --> 00:15:21,583
it would've been a different
situation. I really do.
355
00:15:21,667 --> 00:15:23,827
And so, you know, you might
as well tell the truth about it.
356
00:15:23,917 --> 00:15:25,037
(APPLAUSE)
357
00:15:25,125 --> 00:15:27,705
If you were white, you'd be like
Tom Cruise in The Firm.
358
00:15:27,792 --> 00:15:29,132
That's right, that's right,
that's right.
359
00:15:29,208 --> 00:15:31,668
(LAUGHTER)
360
00:15:31,750 --> 00:15:35,170
You could've been the man.
Oh, my God, man.
361
00:15:35,042 --> 00:15:36,422
So, what's next
for Johnnie Cochran?
362
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:37,540
Well, a couple things.
363
00:15:37,625 --> 00:15:39,995
I'm gonna be appearing at
Madison Square Garden, uh,
364
00:15:40,083 --> 00:15:42,253
-with a talk on justice--
-Temptations, huh?
365
00:15:42,333 --> 00:15:43,753
No, no-- well, yes--
366
00:15:43,833 --> 00:15:46,003
We'll be singing later.
But on March 8th.
367
00:15:46,083 --> 00:15:48,083
Uh, I've got my own show now,
Cochran and Grace,
368
00:15:48,167 --> 00:15:50,707
-each night 10:00 on Court TV.
-Okay. Okay.
369
00:15:50,792 --> 00:15:53,502
And the most important thing
for me right now
370
00:15:53,583 --> 00:15:55,213
is I have a client,
Geronimo Pratt,
371
00:15:55,292 --> 00:15:58,882
former Black Panther leader,
who was convicted 25 years ago
372
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:00,998
in July of 1972,
and he's innocent,
373
00:16:01,083 --> 00:16:03,293
a victim of the FBI's
counterintelligence program.
374
00:16:03,375 --> 00:16:05,455
On February 27th,
I'm going to California
375
00:16:05,542 --> 00:16:07,082
to argue a motion
for a new trial for him.
376
00:16:07,167 --> 00:16:08,917
And if we get it,
we're gonna try that case
377
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,080
and get him out
after all these years.
378
00:16:10,167 --> 00:16:12,077

(AUDIENCE CHEERING, APPLAUDING)
414
00:17:41,292 --> 00:17:42,792
In, uh, recent years,
415
00:17:42,875 --> 00:17:45,125
Americans have become fascinated
with court cases
416
00:17:45,208 --> 00:17:47,078
like O.J.,
the Menéndez brothers.
417
00:17:47,167 --> 00:17:49,207
So in keeping with that,
we have our own
418
00:17:49,292 --> 00:17:51,832
legal correspondent,
Mr. Coleman Brooks.
419
00:17:51,917 --> 00:17:53,827
-Hello, Coleman.
-How you doing, Chris?
420
00:17:53,917 --> 00:17:56,997
So, Coleman, what sort of case
are you following this week?
421
00:17:57,083 --> 00:17:58,633
Chris, it's an armed robbery
of a convenience store
422
00:17:58,708 --> 00:18:00,248
at the corner of Hillside
and 89th Street
423
00:18:00,333 --> 00:18:01,883
in Queens, New York.
424
00:18:01,958 --> 00:18:04,628
Really, now, what's
the big deal about a holdup?
425
00:18:04,708 --> 00:18:06,538
Well, Chris, this case
could have larger ramifications.
426
00:18:07,167 --> 00:18:08,287
Like what?
427
00:18:08,375 --> 00:18:09,745
Like, I could do ten years.
428
00:18:09,833 --> 00:18:11,793
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
429
00:18:11,875 --> 00:18:14,205
Wait, hold up a minute,
you could do ten years?
430
00:18:14,292 --> 00:18:16,172
Chris, the prosecution alleges
431
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,080
that a Black man
matching my description
432
00:18:18,167 --> 00:18:19,707
entered the mini-mart
in question,
433
00:18:19,792 --> 00:18:21,172
brandishing
a .45 caliber handgun,
434
00:18:21,250 --> 00:18:22,790
making off with some 87 dollars.
435
00:18:22,875 --> 00:18:24,495
He was later arrested
after spending the money
436
00:18:24,583 --> 00:18:26,003
on several vials
of crack cocaine.
437
00:18:27,083 --> 00:18:29,003
So, what are you claiming
about these charges?
438
00:18:29,083 --> 00:18:30,173
They're preposterous, Chris.
439
00:18:30,250 --> 00:18:31,750
I've been off
the pipe for a week.
440
00:18:31,833 --> 00:18:34,173
(LAUGHTER)
441
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,170
Right. So, uh, Coleman,
let me get this straight.
442
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,210
What is the prosecution
basing their case on?
443
00:18:40,292 --> 00:18:42,042
Their key piece of evidence
is this piece of video tape
444
00:18:42,125 --> 00:18:44,125
from the surveillance cameraat the mini-mart in question.
445
00:18:45,167 --> 00:18:46,207
Give me the money.
446
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:48,132
(CASHIER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
447
00:18:49,167 --> 00:18:50,207
CHRIS: Wait a minute.
448
00:18:55,083 --> 00:18:57,213
-That was you, Coleman.
-Ah!
449
00:18:57,042 --> 00:18:58,422
Chris, allegedly.
450
00:18:59,625 --> 00:19:02,075
But the defense intends to prove
a prima facie case
451
00:19:02,167 --> 00:19:05,127
that the defendant
was a victim of entrapment.
452
00:19:05,208 --> 00:19:07,708
Coleman, how the hell
was that entrapment?
453
00:19:07,792 --> 00:19:10,172
Well, Chris, there was a store
with money in it.
454
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,130
I was broke.
455
00:19:12,208 --> 00:19:13,998
Therefore,
the store was entrapping me
456
00:19:14,083 --> 00:19:16,423
-into coming in and robbing it.
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
457
00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:21,830
Yeah, but what about the video?
458
00:19:21,917 --> 00:19:24,787
Keep in mind, Chris, it's a very
short piece of video footage,
459
00:19:24,875 --> 00:19:27,205
and it's shot at a distance
of some nine feet.
460
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:29,077
Yeah, but, Coleman,
461
00:19:29,167 --> 00:19:30,747
if they slow it down
and enlarge it,
462
00:19:30,833 --> 00:19:32,423
there'll be no mistaking
that was you.
463
00:19:33,167 --> 00:19:34,207
Allegedly, Chris.
464
00:19:35,250 --> 00:19:36,830
But if they speed it up
and shrink it,
465
00:19:36,917 --> 00:19:38,127
you can barely make me out.
466
00:19:40,375 --> 00:19:42,075
Why the fuck
would they do that?
467
00:19:43,375 --> 00:19:44,915
That's the dumbest thing
I ever heard.
468
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,920
Coleman, I thought
you were a legal expert.
469
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,080
Allegedly, Chris, once again.
