Get ready for Chris Rock to make history.
The comedian will take the stage on Saturday night to perform “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage,” the first-ever global live streaming event for Netflix.
The performance will mark Rock’s sixth stand-up special and his second for Netflix following 2018’s “Tamborine,” directed by Bo Burnham.
Netflix has released a 30-second teaser for the highly anticipated stand-up in which Rock is alone in a dressing room, staring into a mirror, when a voice announces, “Chris, they’re ready for you.”
“The Show Before the Show” and “The Show After the Show,” featuring some of Rock’s comedian friends, will air around his performance.
The special will likely mark the first of many live events coming to Netflix, and Rock is expected to address being slapped at last year’s Oscars. The special airs nearly a year after the incident.
The pre-show begins at 9:30 p.m. ET and Rock goes live at 10 p.m. ET. The after-show will follow his performance.

The pre-show will be hosted by Ronny Chieng, Arsenio Hall, Leslie Jones and Dean Cole. Other artists should surprise viewers.
Amy Schumer, Cedric the Entertainer, Ice-T, Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin Hart, Matthew McConaughey, Sir Paul McCartney, Sarah Silverman and Wanda Sykes are all set to make appearances.
David Spade and Dana Carvey will host the after-show, alongside Hall, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and JB Smoove.
The comedian will take the stage at the Hippodrome Theater in Baltimore, MD.
“Chris Rock: Selective Outrage” premieres March 4 on Netflix.
