Chris Rock's Live Netflix special to feature Jerry Seinfeld, Amy Schumer, David Spade & more

Chris Rock is set to return to Netflix for a novel Live comedy special which will premiere on the platform on March 5th. Titled Selective Outrage, the special will feature Rock's material that he has been testing out on the road as part of the 'Chris Rock Ego Death World Tour'. To make things all the more special, the show will also boast live pre- and post- shows which will include some of the biggest comics such as Amy Schumer, Jerry Seinfeld, David Spade, J.B. Smoove, and others.

The pre- show is titled The Show Before the Show and will see Schumer, Seinfeld, and others gracing it for a length of 30 minutes. Chris Rock will then go live at 8:30 am IST on Sunday, March 5th, and dish out his best jokes, including those concerning the highly infamous 'slapgate' involving Will Smith. Although Rock is yet to publicly discuss the event that occurred at the 92nd Oscars ceremony but has referred to it a bunch of times while on the road as a standup comic.

Once he wraps up his set, the packaged live show will then feature the post- show, titled The Show After the Show. NBA legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar, JB Smoove & others will headline this segment with Dana Carvey and David Spade hosting it. The pre- show will be hosted by Ronny Chieng.

Chris Rock debuted on Netflix in 2018 with the sixth stand-up comedy special of his career, Chris Rock: Tambourine. With fellow comics, Bo Burnham and Neal Brennan directing and producing it, respectively, Tambourine, received critical acclaim with many labelling it as one of Rock's most personal and tender specials and, based on 23% reviews, it has an approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. An extended version of the Tambourine was released on Netflix in 2021 as Total Blackout.
