Abstract

The article focuses on Chris Rock's upcoming stand-up special, "Selective Outrage," which will be streamed live on Netflix, marking the platform's first live show. Scheduled for 10 p.m. EST, the special will feature Rock performing at the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore, with a star-studded pre-show and post-show commentary. This performance comes nearly a year after the incident at the Academy Awards involving Will Smith, who has since faced consequences from the film academy. Rock has largely refrained from discussing the slap in-depth until this special, despite incorporating related material into his recent tour performances. [Extracted from the article]
