Netflix has removed a part of Chris Rock’s explosive comedy special ‘Selective Outrage’ after he messed up a joke about Will Smith.
The comedian in his latest stand-up show addressed the infamous 2022 Oscar awards moment where the Aladdin actor slapped him in the face after he cracked a joke on Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
In the Netflix live performance, Rock joked, “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 [expletive] ever. Okay, so the [expletive] gives me a [expletive] concussion. No, not Emancipation, I [expletive] up the joke. Concussion,” he said.
However, Netflix has edited out the error as viewers noticed that the slip-up has been removed. The editing fix was pointed out by Vulture’s Jesse David Fox, who said it ‘makes one wonder if there have been other tweaks’.
