The Chris Rock: Selective Outrage had an unforgettable air of electricity and excitement. In recent news by Netflix Queue, the Everybody Hates Chris actor got nominated for three Emmy awards! They were in the categories of Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special, Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, and Outstanding Variety Special (Live). The Madagascar actor had not spoken about the 2022 Oscar controversy, but when he did, he earned a lot of fans. And now the critical acclaim.
The Netflix audience viewed this show for 798M minutes and made it jump the charts. Moreover, famous NBA stars like Jabbar, who wrote opinions after the Slapgate fiasco, spruced up the event.
Though once the 58-year-old comedian admitted to leaving the Paul Pelosi joke, he made enough news with the jokes on the Duchess of Sussex.
The Royal exit remains the favorite topic

The comedian left no stones unturned after his initial silence. He even took a bold jibe at the recent royal exit of ‘Harry and Meghan.’ He commented about how she married, knowing their persistent racism in advance. He made the classic “trouble with the in-laws” comment and had a hearty dad laugh.
He went a step further and chuckled at the news about the races of their incoming baby, which he countered with his own thought of how black people were curious to guess the color since the possibilities were endless. Rock’s comedy definitely strikes chords, and sometimes a slap.
