There’s an interview with Chris Rock over at the Onion A.V. Club (which I admit I tend to forego in favour of the fake news). Lots of fascinating stuff about how hard it is to be a black comedian and get on SNL (nice little jibe at Jay Mohr too). Also, there’s an interesting little snippet on Jim Carrey from their In Living Color days:
I remember Jim Carrey walking into everybody’s office trying to get jokes for it. Not naming names, but the guys who were there for a long time at Saturday Night Live weren’t hanging out in people’s offices trying to get jokes. I saw a work ethic in Jim Carrey that I hadn’t seen before. I was like, “Wow, this guy doesn’t even know me, but he’s like, ‘You got any jokes for it?’” I thought he was going to be fine.
