Chris Rock Edits Live Special Over Mangled Joke


Last week Netflix live streamed Chris Rock's retribution comedy special where he talked about getting slapped by Will Smith for the first time [click here if you missed that]. 

Apparently Chris messed up one of his big bits and it was edited out...

One of Chris Rock's jokes about Will Smith has reportedly been edited out of his Netflix special, after he messed it up during the live broadcast.
The comic had used his live show to break his silence on being slapped by the actor at the Academy Awards in March, issuing a series of stinging rebukes at Will and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.
In the special, Chris discussed the slap in a stinging monologue, claiming Jada was the one who 'started this' as he argued she said he should 'quit the Oscars' because Will wasn't nominated for the film Concussion.
However, Chris got the title of Will's film wrong, and had to correct himself before admitting to the crowd he'd blundered the joke, with the now-edited version removing his apology and showing him using the correct title.
He said: '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 s**t ever. Okay, so the n****r gives me a f***ing concussion. No, not Emancipation, I f****d up the joke. Concussion.'
But, after Chris admitted he 'f****d up' a joke about Will's recent film Concussion, eagle-eyed fans have noticed the joke has been removed from the final cut of the special.
