Chris Rock to host Netflix's first live show

Comedian Chris Rock is to host Netflix's first ever live streamed show, as the company begins to experiment with screening live events. It could open the door for more live content on Netflix - like sport, real-time reality TV and other major events. "We're thrilled the entire world will be able to experience a live Chris Rock comedy event and be a part of Netflix history," he added. He has previously had Netflix specials that were filmed - but not streamed - live. The audience for dramas like The Crown will be spread over a much longer period - which is not the case with most live programmes, although Netflix will hope Rock's special will have longevity.
