And according to Page Six, it will happen be his show Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, an event not only presented on Netflix, but also… live!
Recall that the incident in question had occurred while he was hosting the Oscars night. Chris Rock had then launched a joke to Jada Pinkett Smith, comparing her to the character of the film G.I. Jane, because of her shaved hair.
A joke that made Will Smith furious, who went on stage to slap the host live in front of millions of viewers.
Smith later apologized for his actions, but Rock had remained rather quiet since then, apart from a few words in some of his shows, away from the official cameras.
Chris Rock: Selective Outrage will air on Netflix on March 4th at 10pm EST, live from the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore!
We’re definitely not going to miss it.
