Share

 

Will Smith is moving into comedy/variety. He’s booked his first ever special, with Netflix. It’s going to be a mixture of comedy and music. He’d better have Jazzy Jeff and do some of their rap hits. Maybe his kids will perform, too.

 

From the release:

  • Netflix announced a new original one-hour comedy variety special hosted by and starring Will Smith.

  • The special will include surprise celebrity guests, noteworthy conversation, fresh comedic sketches, huge musical performances and more.

  • Smith serves as an executive producer alongside Co-Head of Westbrook Studios Terence Carter, Miguel Melendez and Sahara Bushue.

  • The special will launch globally on Netflix later this year.
