Chris Rock has been known for decades as one of the best comedians in the world. He was on Saturday Night Live, created and narrated the popular sitcom Everyone Hates Chris, and has appeared in a wide range of movies and TV shows.
But recently, for reasons we’ll talk about soon, he’s emerged as one of the most started talking about and watched stand-up comedians, which makes him this same perfect choice to host Netflix’s first-ever event.
Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, the Emmy winner’s upcoming stand-up special, will be a special moment again for a platform for reasons we will also talk about later. But we’ll start our list of all the most important things Rock fans should know about the event by telling you when Netflix subscribers can watch that at home.
The special could be the first time that Rock talks about being slapped by It will Smith at the 2022 Oscars. Rock didn’t press charges, but Smith was prohibited from attending the yearly Academy event for 10 years after winning the best actor award for King Richard.
Chris Rock is going to bring his comedy regimen back to Netflix with a standup special that is a remake of his 2018 hit Tamborine, but this time it will be shown on TV. The streamer’s first worldwide live-streamed event is the Selective Outrage special.

Chris Rock: Selective Outrage Release Date
There are equally as many (if not anymore) must-see new Netflix TV shows coming out this year as exciting new Netflix films are coming out in 2023. Chris Rock: Selective Outrage is one of them. It will be available to stream on March 4, 2023, at 10 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. PT).
Chris Rock: Selective Outrage First Global Live Streaming Event
Even though Chris Rock: Selective Outrage comes out on March 4, you shouldn’t anticipate being able to sign in, pull it up, and start laughing first thing on Saturday. The reason is that the special hasn’t been filmed yet, however, the cams will start rolling as soon as Netflix subscribers can watch the live-streaming event anywhere in the world.
The platform has tried its hand at interesting, experimental programming before, like with engaging films and shows like the choose-your-own-adventure-style Black Mirror spin-off movie Bandersnatch, daily sports like Trivia Quest, or TV series that release episodes in a random order, like the recent bank robbery thriller Kaleidoscope.
But Selective Outrage is the first time that the platform tries to live-stream an event around the world. At 10 p.m. ET, viewers can “tune in” to see Rock’s performance without any changes or filters (or 7 p.m. PT)

The camera then follows The Rock as he moves backstage to the stage, to be met by bright lights as well as a crowd of screaming people. Rock had to have an eventful 2022, he is expected to talk about the Oscars, when Will Smith slapped him for making a joke about the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Today, Vir Das’s comedy special “Landing” starts streaming on Netflix. There will soon be a new sitcom special on the platform. Chris Rock’s stand-up comedy show, “Selective Outrage,” will be streamed live around the world on an entertainment streaming service. The live stream will come from a location in Baltimore, Maryland. The Chris Rock hold show will be streamed in real-time, with no cuts or edits.
Selective Outrage is going to be a big deal again for the streaming giant. Robbie Praw, Vice President of Hold and Comedy Formats at Netflix, said in a public statement that Chris Rock is “one of the most legendary and important comedic speakers of our generation.” “This will be a moment you’ll never forget, and we’re so proud that Chris is having to carry the torch,” he said.
It comes after Netflix’s biggest live event ever, Netflix is a Joke: The Festival, a live comedy show. Rock was one of 330 comedies that performed in Los Angeles at 295 shows. Since more than 260,000 people bought tickets to the showcase, it’s not surprising that Netflix wants to step up its comedy game with another outside-the-box move.
