You learned it here first: Chris Rock is a liar.
Okay, not really. He's just saying that the show based on his life as a teenager in Brooklyn, Everybody Hates Chris, isn't always one hundred percent accurate. Rock says it's more important that the show is funny, though he does say that much of what happened in the first season is taken from his real life. This really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, since exaggeration is usually essential to comedy. Meanwhile, the show is still garnering the highest ratings of any show on UPN, which will hopefully mean it'll be making the trek to The CW when the new network begins. Nothing official has been announced just yet, however.

Sure, the most obvious lie is the date that appears on the screen at the start of each episode, "1982". Since Chris Rock was 12 years old in the 70's and not the 80's, perhaps they figured it would be simpler to use the 1980's, avoiding the political turmoil of the 1970's.
