This video has been making the rounds the last couple of days and we thought it might be a good alternative to Started in Stand-Up. Basically the video is from a 1989 documentary made by NYU students featuring a then relatively unknown Chris Rock. WFMU and the comic’s comic have more background.

By this point Chris Rock already had been on an episode of Miami Vice playing a computer geek along with James Brown and some aliens. Oh, wait maybe that’s why he was still unknown…
