Chris Rock: Truth, therapy and punchlines

Being happy - especially during COVID-19 - is more than a punchline for comedian, writer and director Chris Rock. "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King sits down for a candid conversation with the 55-year-old divorced comic, in which he discusses attending therapy during the coronavirus pandemic; forgiving the people who bullied him as a kid; whether he will get vaccinated; and stretching himself, by acting in the drama series "Fargo."

It seems he really took to heart all the lessons he's learned from his past difficult experiences, and to just rise above them and the bullies. And that is why and how he turned out to be the better man in that situation.

    Of course I knew who Chris Rock was. I've seen a few movies he's been in with my dad, and I liked him well enough. Never heard any of his standup specials before. I liked him then. I didn't think I could ever love and admire him. Until now. After seeing the dignity, grace, and positivity with which he handled the ridiculousness that was Will Smith's Oscar moment of madness, I became a fan. I listed to his most recent special, and now I'm watching this. My respect for him has grown exponentially. Much love, and all our prayers, good thoughts, and support to you, Chris.

    Chris Rock believes people get better with time. The truth is: If you're not willing to put in the hard work to improve the outcome, you will continue down that rabbit hole for a lifetime. Some people learn and come out stronger, but others choose what's familiar. Self care is extremely important if you want to succeed in your personal space and face the world around you with a new found purpose.

I am sure Jada may have felt some hurt as I also deal with severe hair loss…… I understand what Will may have been feeling. I honestly get both sides….. you bring humor and Will was trying to protect his wife. I believe I may have wanted to come to my rescue; just not that way. Don’t hurt anyone over my hurt…… I think we all need to stop inflicting pain and just practice being kind.
