Netflix is going to do something they have never done before. They are going live! For this inaugural event, they asked Chris Rock to do the honors.
“Chris Rock is one of the most iconic and important comedic voices of our generation,” said Robbie Praw, Netflix Vice President of Stand-up and Comedy Formats. “We’re thrilled the entire world will be able to experience a live Chris Rock comedy event and be a part of Netflix history. This will be an unforgettable moment and we’re so honored that Chris is carrying this torch.”
What’s the worst that could happen? I mean, the last time that he did a live event was at the Oscars. Oh…
I am sure Will Smith is shitting a brick over this…as he should!
The comedian’s live event will stream early next year.
Howard Stern has said that Conan O’Brien is his favorite guest. So when the late night host was the shock jock’s radio show, the latter asked who is his favorite guest.
O’Brien told him that it was Bruce Springsteen. That is because the singer came early, rehearsed, got to know the cameramen’s names, and stayed after the show was done to hang out.
He was not the only one who came to work, so did Tom Hanks. Conan said that when Hanks was a host on Saturday Night Live, the Oscar winner spent 24/7 at 30 Rock. He also had tons of great ideas and was there to play.
I love to hear that two of the most beloved celebrities are not just putting on act. They are WYSIWYG.
Reba McEntire honored her friend Loretta Lynn at the CMAs yesterday. Since the singer wanted to wear something special for it, she went through her closet for just the right outfit.
“You know I love a #throwbackthursday!!!” she wrote. “Sandi Spika designed this fringed green western suit for my 1995 tour and we pulled it out of the archives for last night’s #cmaawards #lorettalynn tribute!”
Can someone explain to me how it is possible that Reba looks better in it now than she did 27 years ago? I guess she is like a fine wine. She gets better with age. That, and I heard she is a survivor.
Drew Barrymore tested positive for COVID-19, so she will not be able to host her show next week.
Therefore, she is passing off the reigns to Ross Matthews and 50 Cent. The latter should be interesting. Seriously, can you imagine Fiddy co-hosting a daytime talk show on CBS? I think we should all tune in to see how it goes because I am sure it will be unforgettable.
Back to Barrymore. I hope she is better soon and doesn’t have too many symptoms. But looking at her in bed smiling, you know she will be OK. But, then again, does the actress ever not smile? She is always happy, and that is why we love her. She is a ray of sunshine.
Dwayne Johnson is doing the holiday movie Red One, and it also stars the Red One, as in Santa Claus. Because of that, we got a photo of Santa Claus and Dwanta Claus together. And I am finally in the Christmas spirit. But not enough to listen to Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You. Are we ever ready to hear that song?
