Rock wants to make it easier for the next generation: he's helping launch the Howard Lampoon, a humor magazine that will be based at the historically black college and modeled after the Harvard Lampoon. "If someone would have given me all this when I was on SNL, I would have blown it," says Rock. "I was totally undisciplined. I pretty much have a handle on things now.
