Chris Rock BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Chris Rock made headlines recently for his highly anticipated return to major Hollywood social events, gracing the Vanity Fair Oscars Party on March 2 after years of avoiding the Oscars circuit in the wake of the infamous onstage incident with Will Smith. According to PEOPLE, Rock arrived at the star-studded Beverly Hills affair with his daughter Zahra, looking sharp and socializing easily with celebrities like David Spade, Mick Jagger, and Timothée Chalamet. The Will Smith saga seemed firmly in the rearview, with Smith absent due to his ongoing Academy ban. The Oscars-adjacent appearance was especially notable as Rock had previously compared attending the show again to returning to a crime scene and famously declined to host in 2023. Observers at the event described Rock as relaxed and in good spirits, just weeks after his milestone 60th birthday, which saw a lavish New York bash attended by A-listers like Madonna, Tom Hanks, and Jerry Seinfeld.
On the professional front, Chris Rock is about to take on double duty: He’s set to host Saturday Night Live for the fourth time on December 14, marking his first appearance on the legendary sketch show since the Will Smith incident. According to a recent PEOPLE interview, insiders say he’s focused and prolific, writing new material and optimistic about the direction of his career as he inches back into major television. While there’s industry buzz about whether Rock’s SNL stint will reference the Oscars confrontation, sources close to the production remain coy. Beyond that, Rock is exec-producing an animated reboot of his beloved series Everybody Hates Chris titled Everybody Still Hates Chris and is attached to upcoming films I Am Maurice and Misty Green, the latter featuring his own writing.
While the comedian’s romantic life is reportedly idle at the moment, PEOPLE confirms he maintains strong ties with his ex-wife Malaak Compton-Rock, amicably co-parenting their daughters—Lola, who is studying in Paris, and Zahra at USC. In broader business news, outlets like TheTopHints and Nairobi News reaffirm his estimated net worth at 60 million dollars, pointing to his significant production deals and savvy investments that go well beyond comedy.
Adding a touch of personality, in a recent New York Times feature on Ben Stiller, Rock heaped praise on Stiller’s acting and marital reconciliation, quipping that saving a marriage is harder than making a mega-budget movie. As for social media, aside from some unconfirmed viral clips and typical online chatter, there were no major controversies or new feuds surfacing—just a steady drumbeat of excitement about his creative and social resurgence.
