Though he began as a stand-up comic in the 80s, Rock was quickly ushered into the realms of film and television as an actor and several of Chris Rock movies have been quite notable, as well as his TV projects. His career on both the stand-up stage and on the screen has been long and successful and shows no signs of slowing down.

A producer for the 2023 Oscarsexplains how the awards ceremony will address Will Smith's now-infamous slap. During the 2022 Oscars ceremony last year, Smith rose from the audience and slapped presenter Chris Rock on-stage after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith's shaved head, which stems from her alopecia diagnosis. Later that evening, Smith accepted the award for Best Actor, and used his speech to apologize to the Academy and to the other nominees for the outburst. Smith would publicly apologize to Rock via social media the next day.

After heating up the internet, the botched Will Smithjoke has been edited out of Chris Rock's stand-up special. Following a year of mostly silence from the latter on the infamous Oscars slap incident, Rock came back in heated fashion with the stand-up special, Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, in which he took aim at both Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett, making light of their relationship drama and Smith's role as a slave in Emancipation.

Chris Rock's highly-anticipated new special, Selective Outrage, is now available on Netflix, but it was initially available to stream live. The comedian became a huge star in the 2000s, and while he started in comedy, he quickly became a movie star and host, known just as well for his jokes at Academy Awards ceremonies and playing Marty the zebra in Madagascar as he is for his stand-up specials. And while some comedians don't know when they cross the line, Rock is the kind of comedian who knows precisely where the line is but actively long jumps over it.

A new report states that Will Smith attempted to make amends to Chris Rock but was unsuccessful. During the 94th Academy Awards, the soon-to-be-Oscar-winning King Richard actor went up on stage and slapped Rock in the face after the comedian made an insensitive joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia. Smith won the Best Actor Oscar almost an hour later, but resigned his Academy hip shortly after and was banned from attending any Academy-related event for 10 years.

Chris Rock’s rant against Will Smith in a recent Netflix special is shocking people across the internet. Rock’s rant came within the premiere stand-up special Chris Rock: Selective Outrage. Unlike previous Netflix comedy specials, Selective Outrage marked the first ever live stand-up comedy set. This allowed Rock to go on a minutes-long rant where he profanely went after Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Warning: Rock's speech contains very explicit profanity, which has been censored out, but may still be triggering for some.A year after the incident blew up the internet, Chris Rockis properly firing back at Will Smith in his heated stand-up special. Rock and Smith first made headlines in March of last year when the comedian host made a joke at Jada Pinkett Smith's expense, to which Smith promptly took to the stage and slapped Rock, further profanely threatening him from his seat. The two have since made a variety of comments and sparked a major debate regarding freedom of speech and comedy going too far.
