  • Chris Rock said he tried to get Cardi B to pursue a career in comedy instead of music and even pitched a comedy show involving the rapper to a major network.
  • "My kids showed me this Cardi B girl, and she didn't have a record out or anything," Rock told Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on "The Tonight Show."
  • "And I was like, 'We should go show it to' — I'm not even going to say what network," Rock added. "So I went — me, Cardi B, and her management — to kind of get a show going."
  • "It just never happened," the comedian said. "But she told me about her rap at the time, and I was like, 'Yeah, yeah, that's good. You're a comedy star.'"
  • The anecdote ended with both Rock and Fallon praising Cardi B's comedic abilities. You can watch the clip below, starting at the 7:00 mark.
