-Thank you guys for coming back on the show.
Congrats on the movie. We'll get to that, this Friday.
-Absolutely. -This Friday on Netflix.
-On Netflix! The week of -- -Netflix!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Netflix!
-Netflix is taking over the world.
-That's right.
I don't want to hear you didn't see it.
It's on Netflix!
[ Laughter ]
-You got no excuse.
-You got no excuse. -No excuse.
-Watch it on your watch!
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, my God.
I saw your special on Netflix. "Tamborine."
If you haven't seen it --
There's no excuses. It's on Netflix.
-It's on Netflix! -You have to see it.
-Oh, don't you love Netflix?
-I went to go see you live
at the Madison Square Garden theater.
-Yes, yes, yes, yes. -It was an unbelievable show.
It was so well done.
There were so many jokes in there I couldn't even --
My laughter started morphing into a different sound
because I was laughing so hard.
'Cause at first I was ha, ha, and I was laughing.
I'm like [Laughs].
And by the end I was like, Jack Nicholson.
[ Laughing as Jack Nicholson ] Hey, great job!
It was more of a honking sound.
It was so good. -Thank ya, sir.
-Every single thing was good. You talked about it.
I don't know if you want to tell anyone the Rihanna story.
-Oh, the Rihanna story?
Wh-Wh -- About me trying to talk to Rihanna?
-Yeah. -Because I thought,
"Hey, I'm single now.
Let me give it a go."
-Right?
-And Rihanna --
[ Chuckles, stammers ]
[ Laughter ]
i mean I was like --
[ Stammers ]
You ever not realize how old you are?
[ Laughter ]
Like, I couldn't tell how old I was.
Rihanna is so fine,
If she didn't sing,
her life would be exactly the same.
[ Laughter ]
She'd have clothing lines. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-People would be asking for autographs.
-But it must be cool to have Chris Rock come up
and be like, "Hey, how you doing?"
-Oh, that did not register at all.
She's like, "Have you seen Ray J?"
[ Laughter ]
I'm like, "Who's Ray J?"
-She said she looked at you, and it was --
-I'm like, [Bleep] Ray J.
-You said she looked at you like it was one of her...
-Like I was one of her aunts.
Like...
She didn't even register me as a sexual being.
-No, not at all.
But then she came to the show. -Yeah, she did come to the show.
-The night before I was there, Questlove was there,
and Rihanna came to the show. -Yes, she did come to the show.
-Yeah, and you told that --
-But she still did not register me.
When a girl says she doesn't want to have sex with you,
at least she thought about having sex with you.
-Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
You'll take that. -You know what I mean?
Like, she contemplated sex with you and went, ugh!
-No, no, didn't do it.
-But I was, like, in the Uncle Zone.
Like... [ Laughter ]
-So many bits, I couldn't even move.
And now I heard that you are now filming --
You're doing stand-up again?
-Yeah, a-- [ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you, thank you.
-This is awesome.
-It is fun. I can't believe it.
-Tell them where you're doing it at.
-[ Laughs ]
-Where's it going to be on, Adam?
-Oh, it's going to be on Netflix.
[ Laughter ]
-No excuse.
[ Laughter ]
-See it on your lunch box.
[ Laughter ]
-It's everywhere. -Are you going around?
-What are you doing? -I'm doing stand-up.
Running around the last couple of years.
I've been doing it and having fun.
And now I'm recording it.
I'm going to be in Newark on Wednesday and Thursday.
[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've been around, rec--
-Bring your guns!
[ Laughter ]
-Different act, different act.
Different stand-up. -It's New York, come on!
-I know. -I love Newark.
-We all have driven through Newark.
[ Laughter ] -Was the last time --
-Cory Booker stabbed me last time I was there.
-Cory Booker, himself?
-Cory Booker stabbed me.
I'm like, "Cory Booker!"
-[ Laughs ]
"What you doing, Cory?!"
-The last time you did a televised one,
was that the HBO one? -Oh, my God, like 20 years ago.
-'Cause I loved that one, with Farley.
-Yeah! With Farley! -Before there was a Netflix.
-Yeah. Yep, pre-Netflix.
-That was the original Netflix, HBO.
-Yeah. -That's true.
Farley was in it.
Farley came on in the middle of the --
Actually, when I did my HBO special a long time ago,
Farley...
I would sing a haunted song
and then every night on tour,
a different guy would come out and run out
and pretend to be the mad man who lives in the house.
And so I was doing the show in Chicago.
Farley goes, "Andy, can I be the guy?
I said, "Yeah, yeah.
Just so you know, a lot of times,
the guys come out in their underwear.
And he goes, "Oh, oh.
Well, my manager told me I shouldn't do that."
And I said, "Okay. You don't have to."
He goes, "Yeah, he said that I've got to change my --"
I swear to God, he was going, "I've got to change the way
I present myself," and blah, blah, blah.
I said, "Yeah, don't do it then.
Don't do it. Just come out like you, Farley.
And then, I swear to God, did the show.
He comes out naked, in, like, a little underwear.
He's running around,
and he's just staring in my eyes, going...
[ Laughter ]
-It was so sweet. -I remember this.
That's really funny.
That's crazy. -Yeah.
-I know you were on the cast at the same time.
But did you get hired at the same time?
-He got it before me. -I got it, like...
-With Farley. You and Farley.
-Me and Farley at the same time, but we knew you were coming.
-Well, yeah. They saved me a seat.
I came, like, six shows after. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
'Cause they needed another black guy.
[ Laughter ]
-You thought I was blac-- No, Spade thought I was black.
-Everybody thought you were black.
-I know, back in the day --
-Till we got in the locker room.
[ Laughter ]
-Not bad.
-I'm just...
I got nothing.
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, really. -I...
-But that's a great cast to come up with, though.
I mean, that was a good crew. -It was, yes.
We did good -- Me, Rock, Schneider, Spade.
-Spade. -Timmy Meadows,
Norman McDonald.
-The great Dana Carvey.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[ Applause ] -That's unbelievable.
-Phil Hartman, Dennis Miller.
-[ Laughs ]
-Dennis Miller used to come up to me every day,
and he would go, "Hey, Rock.
How's that next anything working out?"
[ Laughter ]
-That's fantastic. -He was the best.
-I was thinking about it, 'cause I was --
We did the SNL 40th,
which I remember you guys.
But I remember we were rehearsing,
and I saw you guys.
I think Seinfeld was doing a bit or something for the show,
And he was doing something. He was there.
And then you came over. It was you and Seinfeld.
Then you came over. -Yes.
It was you, Chris, Seinfeld,
and I was like, if John Travolta walks in,
that is my whole stand-up act.
That's every impression I've ever done in my career
right on the stage together.
And without you guys I would not be here,
so I want to thank you. -Oh, we know that.
We know that. No! -[ Laughs ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Tell him wh... -Yeah.
I mean, you know how much you have to like a guy --
Like, to like a guy that does an impression of you?
You've got to really like that guy.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, yeah.
-You don't normally like that.
-You usually hate a guy that does an impression of you.
There's a guy that gets paid doing you.
[ Laughter ]
-I remember you called.
The phone rang, and I picked it up.
They said, "It's Adam Sandler." And I go, "Oh, my God."
So I had to find a phone,
'cause I didn't have a phone number at SNL.
I had to go and use, like, the receptionist phone.
I go, "Hello?"
And you go, "All right, let me hear it."
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I just started doing something,
and you go, "That's good. All right."
-I remember that. -"I give you my permission."
