Chris Rock performs his "No Apologies" show to a sold-out crowd tomorrow night at the Blaisdell Arena.

Sometimes we make contact with the talent that graces our fair city, sometimes we don't. So, here are 10 questions we would have asked Chris Rock if we'd gotten the green light from his publicist.

1. Why no interview? Is it because you think people will go to your show even without the publicity?

2. Well, what if they don't?

3. Yeah, OK. But theoretically speaking: What if they don't?

4. So, what's it like to be a funny and successful comic, and still turn out such unfunny stuff like "I Think I Love My Wife." Must get kind of confusing, right?

5. But you really are funny. Hilarious, actually. Which brings to mind your mentor, Eddie Murphy. Can't you persuade him to be funny again?

6. Who's more racist: Black people or white people? We know the answer, but we just like to hear you say it.

7. How hard is it to make racism fun? It can't be easy.

8. Have you ever really, truly offended someone with your humor?

9. So this might be a dumb question: Why does everybody hate Chris?

10. Just kidding! You get it, right?
