    Will Rock speak about Oscars slap incident?

    One Hollywood moment that raised many eyebrows this year was when actor Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage during the 2022 Oscars ceremony. The actor-comedian had cracked a joke on Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, which enraged him. Though Rock has never spoken about the incident publicly, the latest reports claim that he will be speaking about it in the Netflix comedy special.

    Slow subscriber growth and exploring opportunities

    On the other hand, Netflix recently started expanding into the live comedy space. It also hosted "Netflix Is A Joke Fest" in Los Angeles in April 2022. Reportedly, the OTT giant is attempting to make changes to attract subscribers amid a slowdown and competition from other platforms. It has also launched cheaper subscriptions with advertisements for the first time and is launching games, too.
