Tahnei Roy Chris Rock had it all wrong, as it turned out, when he once laid some cynical conventional wisdom about show business on Jack Johnson.
In May 2003, a 28-year-old Johnson found his way onto “The Late Show with David Letterman.” A few years prior, the Oahu native had been chasing a future as a professional surfer; now he was a bona fide music star whose second album, “On and On,” had just crashed into the top 10 of the Billboard 200. Waiting backstage with Johnson were his wife, Kim Johnson, and best friend, Emmett Malloy, where they shared a memorable encounter with Rock.
