10 pm eastern. Should be interesting. Rock is teasing that it will include a response to Will Smith's slap.

Maybe doing it live ensures they can't cancel it if he's offensive. Let's hope he's offensive!

It's Chris Rock. That's like hearing that MTG is speaking somewhere and saying, "I hope it's absurdist spoken word poetry!"

Rock is fresh off a category five divorce too. Well maybe not fresh but I’ve never heard him talk about it. Maybe he will on Saturday.

Well, you got your wish. Offensive plus. Like Paul Harvey said, "Now you know the REST of the story.".

I thought the special was awfully unfunny except for the will smith stuff at the end.

Although it doesn't seem to translate that well to print.

"Rock used the last minute of Selective Outrage to answer the question he’s gotten a lot since the Slap: Why didn’t you do anything back? “‘Cause I got parents,” Rock said. “‘Cause I was raised. And you know what my parents taught me? Don’t fight in front of white people.”
