After a 14-year absence from the stand-up scene, Martin Lawrence returns to the comedy stage in the Showtime special ?Doin? Time: Uncut? ? with ?uncut? being the operative word. Lawrence has never been one to hold back when he gets a mic in his hand. In fact, he was one of a few performers to receive a lifetime ban from ?Saturday Night Live? for lewd language. And his first stand-up special in 1994, ?You So Crazy,? almost received an NC-17 rating which might have stood if the comedian didn?t fight against it. The ?Martin? star said that back then he was getting in trouble for the language used in his performances, and that the reason comics today are able to get away with more is because he fought for his right to say whatever he wanted to, stating ?I think today they?re allowed to get away with more stuff and press the envelope more because I was able to take that stand back then,?
