Chris Rock is back with Selective Outrage. The comedian became the prime example of patience and self-control as he got slapped in front of the world during the Oscars this year. All for being one thing: a comedian. Smith rocked his own world by slapping the Oscar host for comparing Jada Smith’s bald head to G. I. Jane.

The aftermath of this was that the I Am Legend actor getting banned from the Awards and resigning from his membership in the Academy. While he has been out in public repeatedly discussing the topics, the Everybody Hates Chris producer has remained rather quiet about the whole ordeal. But here he is again, ready to set the stage on fire with a new comedy special.

Previously, Will Smith went on YouTube to release a formal apology to Chris Rock, even attempting to contact him. But it was all in vain. If anything, it has invited more trouble for the actor. His much anticipated Apple TV+ movie Emancipation also did not do as great as expected.

One fan noted how Smith, who has had a career spanning three decades, is seeing a downfall while Rock’s career is flourishing. While another one hopes that the live show would be just an hour of jokes on Jada Smith’s head.
