No fukkin chance this is true. I feel like Chris Rock would have already mentioned it if it actually happened. And why didn't he do any cameos in 11 seasons?

Show took place in NY and barely had any coloured people in it. I feel like those types of shows are racist. Friends too.

I feel you but if they did include colored ppl it would full of stereotypical jokes. shyt would be brutal as hell. The few minority actors they had were stereotypical, ie the African marathan runner etc.

Feeling that kindve rage from a black man would've made the show uncomfortable for the majority of people who watch it:mjpls:...Probaly would take me out of it too,have me wondering if Georges problems were really just "bad luck" or systematic oppression:ohhh:...Some of the episodes Ive seen would take on whole new meanings and have me feeling some type of way,like when that Chinese restauratunt wouldn't give them a table:sas1:

He said he landed the role by channeling woody Allen as a character :russ:
Dude said he got into it with Larry David early on about how ridiculous the character was, on some

Jason: There's no way a real person would act like this, who the fukk would quit a job then show up the next day like nothing happened

Larry: I did :ld:

chris rock shoulda been a recurring character tho, i think larry david tried to make up for this with wanda sykes and jb smoove on curb

the larry/leon relationship was :heh:

danny devito is essentially a fukked up beyond-bizzaro world george on sunny in philadelphia, im glad it wasnt him just for that alone

You also gotta understand that outside of maybe the first season, you can't just switch the actors and think everything else would've stayed the same. They would've definitely written the character differently to appeal to Rock's type of comedy.
