Chris Rock's latest stand-up special airs live on Netflix tomorrow night, with a live pre-show and afterparty featuring Arsenio Hall, Ronny Chieng, Dana Carvey, Leslie Jones, Deon Cole, JB Smoove, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Spade, and more.
just to watch Smith get whipped, and in keeping with the perfectly broken nature of social media, the “Chris Rock” topic on Twitter doesn’t pull up a link to that article until after you scroll through dozens of responses to a tweet by a no-name “pop culture” news aggregator that includes the Rock quote but doesn’t credit where the quote came from or link back to thejoke at a warm-up show in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago, and anybody who queues up Netflix tomorrow night should expect to hear...
Netflix is heavily hyping the special’s live nature, which is a first for their platform, but shouldn’t be that unusual to anybody who actually goes to live comedy shows. And being live probably won’t even register for Rock himself, since he’s been performing stand-up in front of live audiences for damn near 40 years now. It’s basically a marketing hook for this one event, and a test run for Netflix’s inevitable move into sports, concerts, and other live events.
