Chris Rock says he "wanted [his] acting to grow." So what did he do? He took a job on Broadway. Alec goes backstage with Rock after a matinee of The Mother F**ker With The Hat to hear about what it was like for Rock to be in his first play.

Chris Rock and Alec talk about the play, the movie business, and Rock's career in stand-up.
