**Storyline:**
Towards the end, Rock stumbled during a crucial joke, mistakenly referencing the wrong movie title. Typically, such a mistake would be edited out, but since this was Netflix’s first global live event, Rock had to pause, acknowledge the error, and deliver the joke again. While this disrupted his momentum, the slip added a sense of spontaneity and unpredictability, which may have enhanced the experience for viewers.
At 58, Rock stands as one of the most exceptional stand-up comedians, known for his meticulous and controlled performances. However, in this special, he intentionally let go of that control, channeling raw anger as he targeted Will Smith. Rock offered his perspective on the infamous Oscars incident, where Smith slapped him after a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair. In a controversial move, Rock placed much of the blame on Jada herself, turning the comedy into a form of revenge. Rock admitted he once admired Will Smith but concluded, “And now,” he quipped, pausing before referencing Smith’s latest film, “I watch ‘Emancipation’ just to see him get whooped.”
Netflix continues to dominate the stand-up comedy scene by creating high-profile, attention-grabbing events. This special was no exception, packaged more like a major sports event than a comedy show. It featured a star-studded lineup and served as a prelude to the Oscars. The event kicked off with a slightly awkward pre-show hosted by Ronny Chieng, who humorously commented on the marketing surrounding the event.
