A Portion From Chris Rock’s Netflix Comedy Special Has Been Edited Out
Chris Rock kept mum for a year after the infamous Oscar slap incident. He has now spoken to the world about it with his Netflix comedy special smartly titled ‘Selective Outrage.’
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a joke about Will Smith from the special has been edited out by the streamer. The joke stems from an error when Rock recalls a conversation with Smith at the 2016 Oscars.
“Years ago, his wife said I should quit the Oscars; I shouldn’t host ’cause her man didn’t get nominated for Emancipation, the biggest piece of shit ever!”, Rock said. He immediately acknowledged his error and said: “No, not Emancipation, I fucked up the joke.” Rock was supposed to joke about Smith’s 2015 film ‘Concussion.’
