It’s not judgment, by the way, to note that a comedy special is the filmed version of an oft-repeated, highly refined stand-up set. ( Editor’s note: Netflix later edited the joke for replay.) A joke he’s probably made around the country dozens of times. Netflix attempted to build a live stunt out of Rock doing stand-up material that he’s been doing on the road for 10 months, and the only thing that would tell you the special was live was - after making viewers wait 61 minutes for the inevitable Will Smith material - Rock fucking up the joke.
And that, kids, is the beauty of live TV.
