Talking Funny is a one-hour comedy television special featuring four comedians: Louis C.K., Ricky Gervais, Chris Rock, and Jerry Seinfeld.
Throughout the special the comedians debate various topics such as the merit of "stupid jokes" as well as crude language in their sets.
Chris Rock mentions his heroes as being Prince and Woody Allen for their work ethic as they had new material every year.
