Tony Rock Explains The Difference Between Stand Up Comics and Social Media Stars

I had such a great time interviewing Tony Rock. It felt like I was learning and laughing the whole time we were together.  I even wore my Biggie shirt and Adidas jacket just so I could connect with the Brooklyn in him.  One of the questions I really wanted his answer on was how come people who are hilarious on social media with massive followings can't seem to translate their funny on stage like a Stand-up comic can?  Watch Tony Rock answer my question using perfect metaphors. Check it out below.

Tony Rock Talks 'The Game of Dating' on TV ONE [VIDEO]

I interviewed the always funny Tony Rock who is a comedian, actor and new host of TV ONE's "The Game of Dating.'  This network original primetime series takes a voyeuristic look at real-life dating while teams watch, react and compete to win cash prizes.  "It is a hilarious, jam-packed series filled with comedy, huge reveals and excellent play along," said Brad Siegel, President of TV One. "With expert comic timing, Tony Rock entertainingly navigates the audience and our contestants through two dates - each one as unpredictable and funny as the last. It's the only game show where dating pays off!"

'The Game of Dating' begins each hour-long episode with three teams of friends and/or family who watch real dates in a "hidden camera" style from the comfort of their homes. Throughout the show, the teams, as well as Rock, will offer their funny and uncensored commentary. The couples could be on an awkward first date, enjoying a new relationship, or they could be an existing couple with history just trying to keep the magic going. The competing teams watch the dates and do their best to figure out the daters' stories and next moves in order to score cash.  TV ONE's redefines the dating and game show genres by offering viewers provocative, sexy and hysterical new takes on classic dating show scenarios.
