Chris Rock\u2019s slapping back.<\/p>\n
After mostly staying mum for a year about being egregiously\u00a0slapped by Will Smith\u00a0at last year\u2019s Oscars, the standup comic could finally get the final word Saturday night. And we hear it\u2019ll be a doozy.<\/p>\n
A source exclusively tells Page Six, \u201cIf you were waiting to see Rock on tour address the infamous Will Smith slap situation .\u2009.\u2009. the comedian is waiting to spill his humorous take on it on his live Netflix stand-up special.\u201d<\/p>\n
The source added that Rock has decided to address it during his\u00a0stand-up special Saturday in Baltimore, when \u201cChris Rock: Selective Outrage\u201d streams live from the Hippodrome Theatre.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Oscars are back\u00a0on Mar. 12.<\/p>\nChris Rock was stunned after being slapped in front of millions of viewers AFP via Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The source said that the tough part for Rock has been how to test out the material while keeping it under wraps.<\/p>\n
Said an insider, \u201cMost stand-ups like to test out their material in smaller clubs before they tape a special,\u201d but Rock \u201crelied on the help of veteran comedy writers to run his jokes by to make sure they were tweaked, solid and funny.\u201d<\/p>\nRock\u2019s live Netflix special will stream from Baltimore on Saturday.

Another insider added that the material wouldn\u2019t dominate Rock\u2019s show, but, \u201cPeople need to tune in till the last joke, they will not be disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Monday, it was reported that Netflix has\u00a0added pre- and post-show specials\u00a0to the Rock event, with appearances by Amy Schumer, Jerry Seinfeld, Arsenio Hall, Leslie Jones, David Spade, Dana Carvey, JB Smoove and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.<\/p>\nSources say fans should stick around till the final joke.

Rock initially\u00a0refrained from mentioning the slap\u00a0on his recent \u201cChris Rock Ego Death World Tour\u201d \u2014 but then\u00a0sprinkled in some material\u00a0at various gigs.<\/p>\n
He said on a tour stop in July after\u00a0Smith posted a video apology\u00a0to him, \u201cAnyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face.\u201d Rock also told a UK crowd of the incident: \u201cWill did the impression of a perfect person for 30 years, and he ripped his mask off and showed us he was as ugly as the rest of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
