‘Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger’
8 p.m., HBO
He may be the brains behind a popular family sitcom, but this new special from Chris Rock is not, repeat not, family-friendly. With his blunt observations on race, politics, pop culture, drugs, celebrities, parenthood and more, all delivered with copious amounts of profanity, this is definitely an adults-only show. It features highlights of Rock’s performances in New York, London and South Africa.
