Only one live comedy show mattered last night, and it wasn't SNL chrisrocknetflix
special was also the topic du jour on Twitter throughout the evening, while — well, pop quiz: Can you tell me who hostedI know who it was, and I know many of you can. My point, though: When is the last time you saw as much excitement around Netflix’s Chris Rock event as you do around anwas a noteworthy comedy special for many reasons. Especially for its final 10 minutes or so, which is when Rock finally let loose on Will Smith and sent the Hollywood press hot-take machine into high gear.
Think about it: Live broadcasts of pre- and post-show events that were viewable inside the app. Rock’s set, broadcast live to Netflix subscribers around the world, with minimal-to-no real problems to speak of. And content-wise, no real disruptions there either — the emcees, the guests, and Rock, everything flowing into everything else without any hitch whatsoever.Most of the funniest bits from Rock’s performance last night are unrepeatable here, at least not without tons of asterisks.
A cold open like that one is a perfect example of the malaise that pervades the show, and which has done so for years now. There is absolutely nothing funny about election denialism, which is an especially ridiculous flavor of knuckle-dragging insanity. What the sketch abovetrying to pass off as humor one of its favorite forms of pandering. It can best be summed up as: “You know those people you can’t stand at Fox? Aren’t they just awful?” And … that’s pretty much the whole gag.
