Sherrod's career- speculation

4  2015-12-30 by thursdaynevercomes

As I'm sure most of you are aware that Sherrod is cousins with Chris rock. Without this blood connection how unknown would he be based on his stand up alone. The only reason I had heard of him before racewars was I love the 80's or best week ever or some awful talking head thing (where he would just laugh at his own jokes).

Also since he's cousins with Chris rock does that mean he's black?

I post this every time a thread like this pops up;

"Sherrod Small is great if you want to see Chris Rock's cousin do Chris Rock's act" - Todd Barry, Patrice's roast.

If Chris Rock weren't his cousin; I'm sure Sherrod would have made a decent paying customer at comedy clubs all across the country.

He'd go and sit there most of the time, once in a while heckle comics (all of which happen to be incredibly coincidentally Caucasian by the way) here and there; shouting his favourite and most frequently used phrases like:

"Nah, you white!"

"You can't say that cuz you white!"

"Niggah!"

"You white, you racist!!"

"You racist cuz you white!.....Niggah!"

"That's racist!"

They really should make a Sherrod plush doll with a string you can pull to hear one of the six unique phrases you laid out above.

If Chris Rock wasn't his cousin Sherrod would have never even tried to do stand up. Same goes for all Chris' black hack cousins.

If Chris Rock gave a shit about his cousin, he wouldn't be riding Kurt Metzger and Opie's coat tails to mediocrity.

I don't think Chris Rock has publicly associated himself with Sherrod in one single instance.

I haven't either but I'd assume that relation is why he gets work because he's not funny and definitely not insightful. Without the relationship he wouldn't have the opportunity to ride coattails.

He was going to do the first racewars on Opie radio with Colin but then thought better of it.

Exactly. He's never had a show, he has the carreer of a kind of hacky, not too offensive token black comic. I think he's okay enough and probably networks really hard.

yes indeed he is black

Sherrod's biggest regret in life is saying no to Tracey Morgan when he offered him a ride in the limo in exchange for a foot massage, on that fateful night.
