Martin Lawrence and Chris Tucker both began their career as comedians at a stand up comedy show called Russell Simmons Def Comedy Jam. The show consisted of a host and five comedians. The show was presented to people on HBO movie channel. Martin Lawrence was the first ever host of the show in the early 1980's, but during the middle of the 1980's a man name Chris Tucker became hosting the show. While Chris Tucker was the host of the comedy show it became a hit to HBO because it brought more excitement and lots of TV ratings to the show due to when Martin Lawrence was the host not a lot people really watch the comedy show. During the beginning of the 1990's the show was shut down on HBO in 1993 due to violence that went on backstage while the comedians were on the stage. After the show was shut down Martin Lawrence started his first live performance by himself doing stand up comedy, and doing his own show on HBO called "You So Crazy", and it was released to viewers in 1994 (Jones, Susan of Bet.com)
