Which comedian released the 2004 stand-up special Never Scared?

Chris Rock released the 2004 stand-up special Never Scared.

Never Scared was filmed at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., and aired on HBO in 2004. The performance addressed relationships, politics, race, social expectations, and contemporary American culture through Rock’s energetic, argumentative delivery.

The special was part of a sequence of major HBO performances that included Bring the Pain, Bigger & Blacker, and later Kill the Messenger. Rock’s stand-up often combines tightly repeated phrases with escalating examples, creating a rhythm that is distinctive across his concert films and television specials.

Never Scared is also the title of a 2004 book by Rock connected to the special’s material. It is separate from his 1996 special Bring the Pain, which is frequently cited as a major breakthrough in his stand-up career.
