Starting in 2005, the show Everybody Hates Chris was based on the memories of Chris Rock from his teen years. The American sitcom starred Terry Crews, Tichina Arnold, and Tyler James Williams, while the show was narrated by the Madagascar actor himself.
Created by Chris Rock and Ali Le Roi, the show ran for four seasons before the stand-up comedian decided to end it as he believed the show had caught up with his past.
