Chris Rock finally addressed the Oscars slap and made Netflix history on Saturday, with the platform’s first live global streaming event. “I’m going to try to do a show tonight without offending nobody. I’m going to try my best, because you never know who might get triggered,” Rock said as he opened his set from Baltimore. “People always say words hurt … anybody who says words hurt has never been punched in the face.
