Chris Rock made headlines recently after inking a $40 million deal with Netflix. The stand-up comedian is set to star in two comedy specials, which will begin taping in 2017. “Chris Rock is a beloved actor and director, and his remarkable stand-up makes him comic royalty,” Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said in a statement. “There is no one like him.” Rock aired his past two comedy specials, “Bigger & Blacker” and “Never Scared” on HBO.
