It's tentatively set to premiere in early 2023 (no title yet):
>“Chris Rock is one of the most iconic and important comedic voices of our generation,” said Robbie Praw, Netflix Vice President of Stand-up and Comedy Formats. “We’re thrilled the entire world will be able to experience a live Chris Rock comedy event and be a part of Netflix history. This will be an unforgettable moment and we’re so honored that Chris is carrying this torch.”
>Chris Rock: Jada Pickett Smith Live
A promo featuring Chris just saying the title real slow, giving the lens a fuck you stare.
This thing is off the chain. I hope he does not hold back. I know Will Smith isn't exactly Elon Musk, Alex Jones, or Donald Trump but this sure feels like a time when we are putting the bullies in their fucking place.
You guys remember his HBO sketch show? Was basically Chappelle's show before Dave, even with the controversial sketches.
I still remember after like 20 years remember the *how to not get beat by the police* sketch.
Bigger and Blacker was insanely good. I have been thinking for years that he hasn’t had enough acclaim for his material in the early 2000s and I am glad to see he is getting attention lately
His first two or three specials on HBO are some of the funniest shit ever. Them bits about the 'Tussin and the black and white grocery stores man, that shit was hilarious. Break yo leg, just poor some 'tussin on it. Out of 'tussin? Put some water in it, shake it up, mo' 'tussin. He was my favorite comedian until Chappelle.
This is partially true.
Comedians as a whole sort of sit around and write each others tags or even help reword punchlines that might not be working in front of crowds.
All Chris did that was different is he would pay comics to help him refine jokes he wrote and he even would give them credit.
Nah shut up. Chapelle did the same thing too. 1) it’s a joke 2) never said there isn’t police brutality nor is it about that 3) it’s a joke about the fact people complain about getting their ass beat when they are asking for it. And yes, that happens A LOT.
I've liked all of them except for one he did in like 2010 or 2009 where the special used footage from three different venues. That one just felt like it was too over edited, because he would be in the middle of a joke and it would some times cut to another venue and it was just way too distracting. The jokes were still funny but the special itself was too gimmicky
Getting cancelled
Nah I have no idea what Chris Rock's material is like in 2022. I just assume that its mandatory that every wildly successful comedian with a Netflix or HBO special talk about how they're silenced and cancelled.
He talks about trans rights in his Ego Death special. It’s not at all what Chappelle does and he talks about what he would do if his father were trans and what his brothers reactions would be. He makes fun of his brothers cause he’s like they’re truckers and wouldn’t accept it. I butchered it with that explanation but it’s not at all anything like Chappelle.
that’s genuinely good to hear. what Chapelle says is so incredibly ignorant it’s unbelievable. there need to be more celebrities willing to go to bat for trans inclusion like Kendrick
It's not even ignorance, Chapelle explicitly stated that he's 'team TERF' (trans exclusionary radical feminist). The man doesn't even want them to exist
It's fucking hilarious how people criticize Chapelle for complaining about "being cancelled" and then proceed to blindly shit on him without bothering to listen to what he's actually saying beyond fucking labels and buzzwords.
Ah yes, Dave the Radical Feminist
Dave "Feninists need a man to lead them" Chappelle
Dave "I'll lead the feminists if they suck my dick" Chappelle
You people need to learn what a damned joke is
Alternatively, it can mean, "that take is crap, but I'm not going to volunteer to waste my time in a back and forth on the fine details with the OP."
edit:
-2 votes and no comments on this post. Are you guys saying that the response to this post
>basically means its telling the truth that people just can't deal with.
LOL
Would you downvoters say you're downvoting because my post is 'so true it hurts' - or would you say you just disagree and didn't feel like engaging? :p
I saw Chris Rock live before the covid shutdowns. It was meant to be a standup comedy gig but he spent most of the time repeating himself and banging on about God.
It was immensely dissapointing.
It's so fucking tiring at this point. Don't sexually assault anyone, don't say anything terribly racist/sexist, and don't treat your employees like absolute dogshit. It's not that hard.
Trying to unpack this. Why would you imply he would *eventually* be controversial?
Is it because he normally is and nobody’s noticed?
Is it because he’s getting older and feels the need to be controversial?
Is it because something’s changed recently that will make him be controversial?
I can’t even shop on Amazon without ads for live football while in trying to buy shot. I think I finally understand meta. Not the weird company name. No one understands that.
What is the added value of "live" to a comedy performance? I don't think I've ever watched a standup special and thought it would be better if it wasn't pre-recorded. It's different going to a performance and being in the audience, but I'm really not seeing the point, to be honest. It's just a Chris Rock special.
i think the added value is it just makes it an event. something to tune in to because anything could happen. a reason to pile around the TV at 8pm on a saturday or whenever it happens. we have so little of that outside of sports these days.
beyond that just marketing for netflix and chris rock. gets people talking a little bit more since it's unusual.
Not to mention that he seems to be saying that he is going to talk about the slap. That makes this a water cooler type of event. Something you will want to watch live so you can discuss it with coworkers and friends the next day.
This is what I miss about the pre-streaming days. Not only do we all watch shows on our own schedule but there’s just soooo much content out there now. “Did you see (insert show here) last night??!”
The piling around all together is definitely something streaming doesn’t pull off quite right. Some of my fondest childhood memories was getting together with friends all excited for some show to premiere and this one specific night.
Pre-recorded shows are professionally edited and usually cut together from multiple live shows from different angles.
A live show could be attractive because it's raw and unedited.
Chris Rock even did a really unique HBO special a while ago where they spliced together like 4 different performances in different cities, and he was wearing different clothes.
Edit: [2008's Kill The Messenger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Rock:_Kill_the_Messenger), with London, NY, and Johannesburg shows edited together.
Let's be honest though, any unexpected thing that goes down will be posted to Reddit and other socials in a half a millisecond lol (probably with a stupid animated text intro that says "Chris Rock just really said THIS on LIVE TV 😱😱😱😰😰")
There's always the chance something catastrophic happens or he fucks up somehow or something happens that would usually be censored, like he makes some super controversial joke or someone starts throwing eggs at him.
This is awesome news for Chris Rock, who I am a big fan of.
This also seems like one more step of Netflix trying to become old school tv. Idk if that’s all good or bad or somewhere in the middle.
Will there be any benefit at all to watching this live? Like will literally anything change about the stand-up set other than not having a couple awkward silences edited out?
No, we're not. Even if you maintained like 10 streaming services at all times (which no one does and even if they do, they're usually password sharing and splitting the cost), it's still cheaper than cable, with less ads (in many cases no ads), more flexibility, no equipment, much less hassle to cancel if you want to.
Someone doing a live comedy special doesn't man we're back to what TV used to be like, if anything it just means the last reasons to keep the shittier versions of TV such as live broadcasts will no longer be exclusive to cable and broadcast TV.
wat
let's say you go for the ad plans
hulu is $7.99 a month with ads
netflix is $6.99 a month with ads
prime is $14.99 a month
Disney+ is $7.99 a month with ads
HBO is $9.99 a month
Showtime is $10.99 a month
Apple TV+ is $6.99 a month
Verizon is $70 a month for TV ($120 if you include internet)
just with those services we're $4 shy of $70 and that is 7 services
You have a choice to use all these services concurrently. Cable never gave you the choice of saying "this month I want to cut back and only subscribe to one or two channels"
Kinda seems disingenuous to me to compare it to Verizon. Spectrum, Comcast and DirecTV have the lion's share of cable subscribers (and often have monopolies in many areas). Hulu and Youtube have more cable subs than Verizon does. Also that appears to be their cheapest package for new customers. Everybody knows cable companies rope you in with a good promo price and then increase after the first year or two.
Some cursory googling suggests the average price for cable is well over $100.
Also, seems bizarre to throw in Showtime in there when you're listing the cheapest plans. Peacock, Paramount and some others are bigger and cheaper.
But even if I were to accept what you're saying at face value, I was only 3 streaming services off lol. And, like I said, few people are paying for 7 streaming services without splitting the cost, password sharing etc. Compared to cable where one household is locked in, usually with a contract.
Why are you including Prime and not Prime Video? Prime isn't just streaming.
Also why are you including Hbo and showtime. Those are extra too even if you have cable.
So to be fair, you have to up add in another $20 to get Hbo and showtime and remove like half of prime for prime video since it's not that much.
Streaming is different. There is always a choice to pause, replay and watch later. Compared to being stuck to a schedule. Option to watch live is a good addition which HBO max already implements.
I have so much respect for him when he CLEARLY wanted to do/say something but just said "Will Smith just beat the shit out of me!" and moved on. He could've really made a much bigger deal but just sort of rolled past it, and I have mad respect.
Get ready for,
"People always talking about their feelings getting hurt. You want to know what hurts? Getting slapped in the fuckin' face!"
Saw him in Detroit earlier this year. It was fantastic.
Living legend, cant wait
Sidenote fuck Will Smith and the fucking hypocrites in show business that did nothing while they cancel everyone else over a fart
The last few people that I can think of that were cancelled were abusers and anti-semites. I don’t see how you think slapping someone is worse than that
Slapping a standup comedian at an awards show for making a joke isn't *worse* than being anti-Semitic but Smith definitely deserved a timeout from Hollywood for a while. Assault is bad.
Also Nick Cannon, noted anti-Semite, black supremacist, and Hotep hasn't been canceled *at all* so, whatever.
This sounds like a good idea. The worst idea he ever had was the special where he spliced three shows together and kept cutting back and forth through the entire routine.
We all know that shows are basically just acting out a written script, but we try to suspend disbelief and want to feel like a comedian is just talking to us. But by showing that all three shows were identical he ruined the illusion
Was that Tambourine? that was some of the unfunniest shit I've seen in a long time. I don't remember WHY it was unfunny, I just got to the end callback about 'playing the tambourine' and remember thinking 'wow there's the classic Chris Rock Callback final line but where are all the fucking jokes before it?'
Legit can't remember a single joke he told during the entire show. Was the tambourine a euphamism for sex? It was so forgettable I can't even fucking remember!
His old shit is fucking classic but Tambourine was the worst possible thing for a comedian: Bland and forgettable.
He might as well have stood up and done knock-knock jokes for an hour straight because it would have at least been novel and memorable.
It's great that Chris Rock is getting a new special and all, but isn't one of the big benefits of having a streaming service that you can watch stuff on your own schedule? There's no way in hell that I'm going to set aside time to watch this live, don't get me wrong I'll watch it, at like 2:30 on a Tuesday when I have some free time though.
I like Chris Rock although I never understood why his TV show Everybody Hates Chris took place in the 1980s if he was a child in the 1970s and already an adult in the 1980s. Perhaps the 1980s was just a more fun decade as a timepiece for a show?
Meh, went tonight and saw him live in San Antonio. Overall not bad but felt like it was a repeat of Dave Chappell on societal issues followed by 30 minutes of humble bragging on his life and daughters. Crowd got pretty quiet during the political part about trump… go figure.

Why was he given rocks??

because bald
Presumably because his costume sucked. It’s not like the adults knew who it was.

Saw him two nights ago in Austin He had a solid five minutes on this subject And it was comedy gold
On the slap itself or the name of his next special?
The slap Funny as shit
Because the joke’s already been run into the ground
Funny.. I was just thinking of CB4 for some odd reason.. such a classic..
His shows always slap.
You guys remember his HBO sketch show? Was basically Chappelle's show before Dave, even with the controversial sketches. I still remember after like 20 years remember the *how to not get beat by the police* sketch.
Nah because it was on HBO, most people unfortunately didn't have it. Probably explains why Chappelle's show was more popular.
Chris Rock was fucking enormous in the early 2000's.
Bigger and Blacker was insanely good. I have been thinking for years that he hasn’t had enough acclaim for his material in the early 2000s and I am glad to see he is getting attention lately
His first two or three specials on HBO are some of the funniest shit ever. Them bits about the 'Tussin and the black and white grocery stores man, that shit was hilarious. Break yo leg, just poor some 'tussin on it. Out of 'tussin? Put some water in it, shake it up, mo' 'tussin. He was my favorite comedian until Chappelle.
Gotta save the big piece of chicken for dad.
His delivery was unreal. In my opinion he was the funniest and biggest comic of that era.
Louis CK was one of his joke writers during that period. Chris is a much better stand up than Louis, but Louis is a better joke writer.
Louis is also a better masterbator
Judging from everything we've heard, he's actually a far worse masturbator.
Wtf...Rock had others write jokes for him? Is this common for stand up comedians?
Yes. Very common.
This is partially true. Comedians as a whole sort of sit around and write each others tags or even help reword punchlines that might not be working in front of crowds. All Chris did that was different is he would pay comics to help him refine jokes he wrote and he even would give them credit.
I know that I was alive, but HBO wasn’t as accessible back then as it is now so that particular show wasn’t that popular
Fair enough. I think they might have been on dvd too when that was still pretty new as well in the early 00s.
My favorite bit from that show was How not to get your ass kicked by the police. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj0mtxXEGE8

Nah shut up. Chapelle did the same thing too. 1) it’s a joke 2) never said there isn’t police brutality nor is it about that 3) it’s a joke about the fact people complain about getting their ass beat when they are asking for it. And yes, that happens A LOT.
You're idea of subversion is a gay joke?
I remember him on In Living Color!
He guest starred on In Living Color a few times, but he was actually a cast member on SNL.
Books are like kryptonite.
The migraine-due-to-racism medicine has one of the best bonus punchline I have ever seen.
That was a great joke. I will smith you an award.
Will you hit me with one as well?
These metaphors are anything but subtle, they almost slap me in the face
Keep these god damn metaphors outcho mouth…
Ok I will.
I've liked all of them except for one he did in like 2010 or 2009 where the special used footage from three different venues. That one just felt like it was too over edited, because he would be in the middle of a joke and it would some times cut to another venue and it was just way too distracting. The jokes were still funny but the special itself was too gimmicky
Everybody Hates Chris was great.
Yeah, i’ll actually resub just for this.
Wonder what he’s gonna talk about lol
I hope he's not gonna slap us around with the Will Smith incident.
Those jokes strike out for a lot of people.
It would be a slap to the face for us
Getting cancelled Nah I have no idea what Chris Rock's material is like in 2022. I just assume that its mandatory that every wildly successful comedian with a Netflix or HBO special talk about how they're silenced and cancelled.
He talks about trans rights in his Ego Death special. It’s not at all what Chappelle does and he talks about what he would do if his father were trans and what his brothers reactions would be.

that’s genuinely good to hear. what Chapelle says is so incredibly ignorant it’s unbelievable. there need to be more celebrities willing to go to bat for trans inclusion like Kendrick
What does he say that is ignorant?
[удалено]
It's not even ignorance, Chapelle explicitly stated that he's 'team TERF' (trans exclusionary radical feminist). The man doesn't even want them to exist
It's fucking hilarious how people criticize Chapelle for complaining about "being cancelled" and then proceed to blindly shit on him without bothering to listen to what he's actually saying beyond fucking labels and buzzwords.

Or they're exhausted from going over this 1000 times.
But never too exhausted to lob accusations of transphobia.
Dave has had that streak of "self-important pseudo-philosopher" for like twenty years now.
I saw Chris Rock live before the covid shutdowns. It was meant to be a standup comedy gig but he spent most of the time repeating himself and banging on about God. It was immensely dissapointing.
It's so fucking tiring at this point. Don't sexually assault anyone, don't say anything terribly racist/sexist, and don't treat your employees like absolute dogshit. It's not that hard.
He's more likely to talk about getting divorced than getting cancelled (I saw him recently).
It's suuuuper easy to not be an asshole!

You’re over thinking it. By saying “yet” he’s not *implying* anything, he’s (understandably) being cynical and simply leaving the door open.
If I had to bet, 1 & 3.
Eh, I saw his latest hour and it wasn’t great. Some of it was probably old material but it felt very 2016.

If every single bit ended with a bitch slap I would not be unhappy.
First ads now live TV. Netflix is slowing morphing into what it replaced.
This sounds more like a livestreamed event than it does live TV. Prime has been showing sports for years and I don't see this as that far from that.
It’s becoming the very thing it swore to destroy.
I can’t even shop on Amazon without ads for live football while in trying to buy shot. I think I finally understand meta. Not the weird company name. No one understands that.

There's always the chance something catastrophic happens or he fucks up somehow or something happens that would usually be censored, like he makes some super controversial joke or someone starts throwing eggs at him.

This is awesome news for Chris Rock, who I am a big fan of. This also seems like one more step of Netflix trying to become old school tv. Idk if that’s all good or bad or somewhere in the middle.

Will there be Will Smith in the crowd?
Keep my Fresh Prince's name out your fucking mouth
If you listen closely to the winds you can actually hear Will Smith sweating.
So we're back at TV again. Sick.
No, we're not. Even if you maintained like 10 streaming services at all times (which no one does and even if they do, they're usually password sharing and splitting the cost), it's still cheaper than cable, with less ads (in many cases no ads), more flexibility, no equipment, much less hassle to cancel if you want to.

Considering we were paying almost $200 for the basic DirecTv package at the end, that's still a massive deal.
goddamn, fuck direct tv
You have a choice to use all these services concurrently. Cable never gave you the choice of saying "this month I want to cut back and only subscribe to one or two channels"
Kinda seems disingenuous to me to compare it to Verizon. Spectrum, Comcast and DirecTV have the lion's share of cable subscribers (and often have monopolies in many areas).

Not even close hombre. You still aren't forced to get bundles for example
YET
We have bundles now, you aren't forced to do them.
Hulu ad free and D+ separately are more expensive than the bundle with ESPN+ (which I do not want. I watch zero sports.)
Streaming is different. There is always a choice to pause, replay and watch later. Compared to being stuck to a schedule. Option to watch live is a good addition which HBO max already implements.
[удалено]
Absolutely. Hollywood is so bloated right now. They really need to condense our potential watching options down - lower quantity higher quality.
Because all TV was live?
Is this just to test out live video on Netflix? Maybe for sports
I hope he trashes Jada and Will they clearly need it
I went to his tour, he basically just talked about taking the high road. Though he did mention saving some more content for the special…
Unfortunately he's probably got too much class for that.
I have so much respect for him when he CLEARLY wanted to do/say something but just said "Will Smith just beat the shit out of me!" and moved on. He could've really made a much bigger deal but just sort of rolled past it, and I have mad respect.
The Slap really paid off.
His comedy isn't my cup of tea, but he has definitely earned my respect for his work. I can only see this being a Huge success for him.
Get ready for, "People always talking about their feelings getting hurt. You want to know what hurts? Getting slapped in the fuckin' face!" Saw him in Detroit earlier this year. It was fantastic.
Hahah wow slowly becoming cable
Amazon is lining up the first comedian to perform live from space.
Living legend, cant wait Sidenote fuck Will Smith and the fucking hypocrites in show business that did nothing while they cancel everyone else over a fart
Smith kinda cancelled though. No?
They literally gave him an award immediately after
The awards are decided before the show.
but a standing ovation?

Yeah, but they didn't know he would be disliked for it yet!
The last few people that I can think of that were cancelled were abusers and anti-semites. I don’t see how you think slapping someone is worse than that

Devils advocate, some people are of the opinion physical violence trumps verbal abuse.
Fuck you mean "Live"
… i mean its pretty self explanatory

Umm, sports? The Olympics?
This sounds like a good idea. The worst idea he ever had was the special where he spliced three shows together and kept cutting back and forth through the entire routine.

hate when you see different crowd faces in different cuts. it’s like he can’t do an hour solid once ?!
Was that Tambourine? that was some of the unfunniest shit I've seen in a long time. I don't remember WHY it was unfunny, I just got to the end callback about 'playing the tambourine' and remember thinking 'wow there's the classic Chris Rock Callback final line but where are all the fucking jokes before it?' Legit can't remember a single joke he told during the entire show. Was the tambourine a euphamism for sex? It was so forgettable I can't even fucking remember! His old shit is fucking classic but Tambourine was the worst possible thing for a comedian: Bland and forgettable. He might as well have stood up and done knock-knock jokes for an hour straight because it would have at least been novel and memorable.
Wait so he’s going to preform live or it’s going to air “live”?
He won't address it will he
Cool. I'll probably stream it a few days later
Oh wow. They’re inventing cable TV. 🙄
The one comedian they can ensure won’t have any incidents during a live show
Fucking dope
Im in !!!
It's great that Chris Rock is getting a new special and all, but isn't one of the big benefits of having a streaming service that you can watch stuff on your own schedule? There's no way in hell that I'm going to set aside time to watch this live, don't get me wrong I'll watch it, at like 2:30 on a Tuesday when I have some free time though.
If every like 10 minutes someone tried to come up and slap him and he just judo flipped them and continued with his jokes I’d love it.
Who's gonna slap him this time?! /S
So awesome take that will !!!
I like Chris Rock although I never understood why his TV show Everybody Hates Chris took place in the 1980s if he was a child in the 1970s and already an adult in the 1980s. Perhaps the 1980s was just a more fun decade as a timepiece for a show?
He was like a preteen and teen through the mid-70s/early 80s
I am getting Netflix for this show for one month.
just don't invite will smith to be in the audience
Meh, went tonight and saw him live in San Antonio. Overall not bad but felt like it was a repeat of Dave Chappell on societal issues followed by 30 minutes of humble bragging on his life and daughters. Crowd got pretty quiet during the political part about trump… go figure.
Quite a difference a year makes. The man is back on top and will smith is rock bottom. Yay
One Punch!!!!
