I created this promo character to banter with Chris Rock about his special guest star appearance on the season premiere of Everybody Hates Chris.
My creative director was also Chris - Chris Donovan @ the CW.
To demo the concept, I produced this homage to the classic Hank Kingsley audience warm-up bit "Applesauce" from the Larry Sanders Show. Always steal from the best, right?

You put the oopid in stoopid!
