Netflix is bringing a new variety comedy special with Will Smith set to host and star in it. This will be Smith’s first ever comedy special show.
The variety special comedy show will launch globally later this year and the King hour episode will include comedy sketches, musical performances, surprise celebrity guests, and noteworthy conversations among other things.
Netflix’s comedy special will be produced by Westbrook Studios. Other than starring and hosting Smith will also executive produce the show alongside Westbrook Studios’ Terence Carter, Miguel Melendez and Sahara Bushue.
Academy Award nominated Smith is a well known actor and producer and has many credits to his name including those like ‘Pursuit of Happyness’, ‘Ali’, ‘Men In Black’, ‘Bad Boys’ and many more. In the 80s, Smith earned fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. He has been nominated five times for Golden Globe Awards, twice for Academy Awards and has received four Grammy Awards.
Other than this latest Netflix comedy special, Will Smith and Westbrook Studios are collaborating on many other projects that includes web series titled ‘Bel-Air’, a reimagination of ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’. The series has received a two-season order at Peacock.
