In fact, in addition to Dave Chappelle, Netflix also recently inked a deal with Chris Rock — offering him $40 million for two wholly original specials.

From Nick Offerman: American Ham, to Aziz Ansari: Live At Madison Square Garden, there’s already an insane catalogue of original stand-up specials available on the platform, and that library continues to grow.
