As Netflix experiments with a live screening of shows, they welcome Chris Rock to host the show for them. Beginning in early 2023, a stand-up special by Rock will be shown worldwide. It might pave the way for additional live programming on Netflix, including live sports, reality TV, and other important events.

According to Netflix's vice president of stand-up and comedy format, Rock is one of our generation's most iconic and significant comedic voices.

He continued about how excited he is that everyone in the world will be able to attend a live Chris Rock comedy performance and participate in Netflix history. He also quoted that this will be a time to remember as Chris Rock is excellent with his work.


The specific time and place of Rock's new special still need to be discovered. He has done Netflix specials in the past that were recorded but not live-streamed.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the corporation has just started heating up to broadcasting live sports. Rivals like Disney+, Apple TV+, and Amazon Prime Video have invested significantly in lucrative sports rights.
