Netflix Edited This Will Smith Joke From Chris Rock’s ‘Selective Outrage’
Chris Rock‘s new Netflix special Selective Outrage got an edit. In the highly-anticipated stand-up event, the 58-year-old comic explained when Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith protested the 2016 Oscars, which Chris Rock hosted. The year prior, activist and writer April Reign began the #OscarsSoWhite movement, a call-to-action that was promptly followed by actors of color.
“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 during Selective Outrage. However, the Brooklyn native misdelivered the joke, which he quickly acknowledged.
“No, not Emancipation, I fucked up the joke,” he said, before correcting the line: “She started this shit. She said that me, a fucking grown ass man, should quit his job because ‘My husband didn’t get nominated for Concussion.’”
they fixed the Concussion-Emancipation slip up in the version that's now on Netflix
