Tom Brady is officially retired from the NFL, which means he is free to pursue whatever he wants. Although, it seems like Brady is more focused on spending time with his family right now. For instance, the NFL legend has told Fox Sports that he will only begin his broadcasting deal in 2024. Simply put, Brady just wants to do his own thing right now. Overall, it is easy to see why he would feel this way. He has dedicated 23 years of his life to NFL football, and at this point, his kids just want to spend some time with him at home.
However, there has been some chatter about what Brady’s next move will be. In fact, there have been some very interesting rumors about Brady wanting to become a stand-up comedian. Brady has always tried to portray his humorous side, although becoming a comedian seems to be a bit of a stretch. Thankfully, according to TMZ, these rumors are anything but true. That said, he does have something else comedy related in the works.
Tom Brady x Netflix?

As the outlet reports, Brady wants to be the subject of a Roast special. Although Comedy Central has been the face of Roasts in the past, Brady would be looking to do this special on Netflix. After all, Netflix is the streaming service that drops the biggest bag on these kinds of projects. Essentially, Tom Brady would be looking for his friends and comedians to roast him in what would prove to be a hilarious evening of comedy. For now, however, very little is known about this potential deal.
If Brady and Netflix go through with this, there are some incredible options out there in terms of who could roast the legendary quarterback. However, it remains to be seen just how deep he wants the comedians to go. No matter what, it should be an interesting special. Let us know which comedians you would want to see be a part of this, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.
It’s been nearly a year since Will Smith slapped the taste out of Chris Rock’s mouth during the Oscars. The infamous moment continues to haunt both actors to this day. Smith remains rather lowkey in the public eye, though he’s slowly reintegrating into Hollywood, thanks to the success of movies like Emancipation. Rock, however, has continued to dominate the stand-up circuit. However, it’s unlikely that we’ll see him take on hosting or presenting duties at any award show in the near future.
Chris Rock’s currently gearing up for his big Netflix special, Selective Outrage. The groundbreaking stand-up set will mark Netflix’s first live-streamed comedy show since its inception. They already announced that Rock expanded the line-up to include revered comics like Jerry Seinfeld, David Spade, Amy Schumer, and Dana Carvey. The special airs on March 4th at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m ET, and it sounds like it’s on pace to do some massive numbers. If so, we could definitely expect Netflix to host more live events in the future.
Chris Rock Will Address Oscar Moment

Chris Rock and Will Smith are certainly not on good terms, but the former appears ready to publicly address the elephant in the room. According to Page Six sources, the comedian is preparing to open up about the situation for the first time publicly. “If you were waiting to see Rock on tour address the infamous Will Smith slap situation . . . the comedian is waiting to spill his humorous take on it on his live Netflix stand-up special,” the source told the publication.
It seems as though we’ll finally get to hear Chris Rock’s side of the story. Though he’s referenced the incident during his recent tour, calling Will the “softest” person and nicknaming him “Suge Smith,” he hasn’t publicly discussed the matter. Smith previously extended an olive branch but revealed that Rock wasn’t willing to open up a conversation with him. Perhaps, the upcoming Netflix special will help the two put this situation in the past. Whether or not they’ll ever be cool again remains unseen. Chris Rock’s Selective Outrage takes place at Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore this Friday. Will you be tuning in?
Happy Pokémon Day! 27 years ago on Feb. 27, Pokémon debuted their first games in Japan. Now, they use this anniversary each year to celebrate new developments in their franchise and how far they’ve come. So, for 2023 Pokémon Day, fans of the Japanese cartoon and gaming company received another thrilling announcement. On Feb. 27, Netflix unveiled its plans for a new stop-motion series. However, instead of featuring the main characters Ash Ketchum or Pikachu, the show focuses on Haru and Psyduck.
Titled Pokémon Concierge, the upcoming series currently lacks a release date or announced cast. However, the producers of the stop-motion are Dwarf Studio, based in Japan. Pokémon Concierge is another huge milestone in the ever-fruitful relationship between Netflix and the brand. First acquiring their rights in 2014, Netflix boasts series and movies from the franchise on their platform. For the new series, the episodes are said to follow the characters in Pokémon Resort where they meet a variety of creatures and trainers. Creation of Pokémon Concierge begins “soon,” according to Netflix.
In 2021, for the 25th anniversary of the game, the franchise dropped an album. The project featured songs from a multitude of artists that loved Pokémon. Lasting 14 songs, rappers like Lil Yachty, Tierra Whack, Vince Staples, and Post Malone joined in on the fun. Additionally, other stars like Katy Perry and J Balvin contributed to the release. It’s safe to say that the franchise is one of the most influential and beloved brands in entertainment. So, when Pokémon Concierge finally releases, there are sure to be many loyal fans tuned in. Let us know what you think, in the comments below.

Among the guests will be Amy Schumer, Cedric the Entertainer, Ice-T, Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin Hart, Paul McCartney, Sarah Silverman, and Wanda Sykes. There will be a live pre-show titled The Show Before the Show that will air from Los Angeles’ iconic Comedy Store nightclub on Sunset Boulevard with Ronnie Chieng, Leslie Jones, Deon Cole, and Arsenio Hall. Afterward, Rock will be performing at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theatre for an unspecified amount of time. The night will end with The Show After the Show, featuring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, JB Smoove, and Hall back in L.A. Selective Outrage will air on Netflix on March 4, 2023.
“March 4 will be a hilarious evening, with an incredible set from Chris Rock – one of the greatest stand-ups of all-time – and contributions from an amazing lineup of special guests,” Robbie Praw, Netflix VP of Stand-up and Comedy Formats, said in a statement, according to Variety. “Our goal is to deliver the best stand-up comedy to our members and this live streaming event further reinforces all the ways we continue to invest in the genre.”

The stand-up special will be the first test of Netflix’s venture into live-streaming content. Logistically, they’ve stated that at a “Watch Live” button will appear on the platform’s user interface at around 6:20 PM, PT on March 4. If a user joins the stream later, they can opt for a “Play from the Beginning” option. Selective Outrage will be Rock’s first special for Netflix since 2018’s Tamborine. Check out an announcement trailer for the special below.
Netflix has announced that Mo’Nique has a new stand-up comedy special coming out. The Grammy-nominated, Oscar and Golden Globe award-winning actress and comedian Mo’Nique’s new stand-up comedy smash will be titled My Name is Mo’Nique. Netflix Is A Joke released a video including backstage shenanigans with the star. For example, she dances with the cast crew of the special and walks to the stage. She explains the name of the special, saying “I give y’all my word. After 72 minutes, y’all gon’ know why this sh*t is called My Name is Mo’Nique.”
Apparently, Netflix and Mo’Nique filmed the special last October at Georgia State University’s Rialto Center for the Arts in Atlanta, Georgia. At the time, Mo’Nique wrote in a November 1 Instagram caption, “My sweet babies thanks to everyone that came out and celebrated this moment with us. MY NAME IS MO’NIQUE LIVE COMEDY TAPING COMING ON NETFLIX!” Mo’Nique also wrote, “WHAT A MOMENT!! I LOVE US 4REAL.” Watch Netflix’s date announcement below:
“My Name Is Mo’Nique”
In her special, My Name is Mo’Nique, fans will get to see her deliver a show-stopping performance on stage. Apparently, there will be hilarious stories that will explain why she is the way that she is. Additionally, she’ll discuss how the city of Baltimore, Maryland shaped her into the woman she is today. Impressively, Through her sense of humor, she will reveal more about herself than she ever has. Furthermore, she will give perspective on some harsh realities that come with life.
Furthermore, Mo’Nique’s Netflix stand-up comedy special follows the announcement that she will star in the film that Lee Daniels is directing. The film, titled The Deliverance, will also have a release on the same streaming platform in the future. When this was announced, many were surprised. Apparently, Mo’Nique and Daniels have a feuding history due to what happened on the promotional circuit for the critically acclaimed and celebrated film, Precious. However, it seems that the two must have buried the hatchet. Additionally, L. Frazier directed the new special and will serve as executive producer alongside her husband Sidney Hicks. Netflix will release My Name is Monique globally on April 4.
Patrick Mahomes is easily the best quarterback in the entire NFL. At this point, you simply cannot deny this to be true. Overall, he has won two Super Bowls, has been to three, and even has two MVP trophies. Moreover, he already has a season in which he threw for 50 touchdowns. These numbers are simply astronomical, and we cannot wait to see how Mahomes develops. At this point, he is a star on the same trajectory as guys like Tom Brady and Joe Montana. Even if you hate the Chiefs, it is hard to hate Mahomes.
Subsequently, Mahomes is set to become the face of the entire league. With that being said, it only makes sense that the NFL would want to market Mahomes in every way possible. As it turns out, that is exactly what they are set to do with a new Netflix project. This project was developed by NFL Films, Omaha Productions, and even 2PM Productions, according to Ian Rapoport. Fittingly, this new project is called Quarterback.
Patrick Mahomes x Netflix
Netflix is announcing “Quarterback” — their newest docuseries that followed Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota this season. This docuseries is the first project for Netflix and @NFLFilms, plus Omaha Productions and 2PM Productions. QBs we’re mic’d up for every game.
The entire premise of the show is quite simple. If you have seen Formula 1: Drive To Survive, you will get it right away. Basically, Netflix mic’d up three quarterbacks throughout the entire season. These QBs include Mahomes, Marcus Mariota, and even Kirk Cousins. Overall, the only one who had a compelling season is Mahomes. If you are a Falcons or Vikings fan, you will probably want to forget that the 2022 season even existed. That said, this promises to be a very interesting show that details the day-to-day existence of a quarterback who plays in the National Football League.
So far, very little else is known about the project. Given this season is finished already, one would assume that the first season of the docuseries will come this year. Perhaps even before training camp starts up again. Netflix has given us plenty of amazing Docuseries’ in the past, so we hope this is more of the same. Let us know what you think of the premise, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.
Netflix has announced the release date for Grammy-nominated, Oscar and Golden Globe award-winning actor and comedian Mo’Nique’s first stand-up special with the streamer. The special, My Name is Mo’Nique, is set for release on April 4.
The special’s synopsis reads:
Mo’Nique delivers a career defining, powerhouse stand-up performance in her unprecedented return to the stage. Filled with laugh till you cry stories as well as soul bearing emotion, Mo’Nique promises that by the end of the show you will understand why she is the way she is, and true to form, she delivers. From the mean streets of Baltimore and remembering her Grandma Mimi’s warnings about men, to why she “ACCEPTS” the sometimes-harsh realities that come with life, Mo’Nique with her unique brand of candor, fearlessness, and humor reveals all of herself, and leaves nothing on the table.
The special is directed by L. Frazier, with Sidney Hicks and Monique Hicks serving as executive producers.
Additionally, Mo’Nique will return to Netflix in the film The Deliverance, created by Lee Daniels.
In October 2020, Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn announced that the band had a movie in the works. The English group confirmed that they had “signed contracts” with Netflix just a year later, according to NME. With co-creator Jamie Hewlett pioneering the iconic cartoons that represent the band, the project was to be an animated movie using Gorillaz’s branded characters.
Unfortunately, Albarn confirmed in an interview with HUMO that “it will never happen.” Netflix has allegedly canceled the film due to cutbacks in the network’s animation department. The 54-year-old musician explained the situation bluntly. “The streaming platform for which we were making the film has withdrawn,” he said. “They started to panic because they were making too much content and decided to cut back on their movie offerings.”
Albarn continued to throw shade on the “classic Hollywood practice.” The English-Icelandic singer reflected on how the Netflix representative the band was working with had left the company. “From then on you have lost your guardian angel, and there seems to be a bad smell hanging on you,” he began. “Hollywood is quite territorial: if a new guy comes along, he must and will have a different opinion, even if he secretly agrees with his predecessor.”
When Albarn initially announced the project, he spoke with Apple Music enthusiastically. “I’m at Netflix because we’re making a full-length Gorillaz film,” he told the streaming service. “Yeah, we’re having a writing session in Malibu this afternoon. It’s really exciting to do that. It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for a very long time. It’s been through so many incarnations…this Gorillaz doing a movie. Honestly.”
Gorillaz Not Giving Up, Despite Cancellation
Despite the disappointing setbacks of their movie, the band will be releasing its eighth studio album, “Cracker Island” on Friday (February 24th). Although we won’t be seeing the Gorillaz characters on our Netflix screens, the band dropped their “Silent Running” single featuring Adeleye Omotayo earlier this month. Check out the music video for that above. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news on your favorite hip hop artists.

We all know that Cardi B is obsessed with the Netflix hit, You, starring Penn Badgley. Part one of season four has been released, and it is quickly spiking in popularity again. It’s the streaming platform’s number-one TV show in the United States. Cardi B has made it known that she’s an avid viewer. On Thursday evening, she uploaded a new profile picture on Twitter. Is it Cardi at an event? Is it a fire selfie? No. It’s Penn Badgley’s face as Joe Goldberg staring from a window.
This season, the show gave her an impressive nod, using her song with J Balvin and Bad Bunny, “I Like It,” during a rather gory scene from the first episode. In the scene, Joe Goldberg (now Jonathan Moore, a London-based professor) hauls a dead body into a sawmill and cuts it into far too many pieces. It’s an interesting choice for the episode, but it definitely adds an extra level of hilarity to the situation, lightening the gruesome task that Joe is partaking in. Music is Cardi B’s obvious priority, but she played quite the role in Hustlers. Maybe acting is in her future. If it is, she would obviously love to be on You.
This is not the first time that Cardi B and Penn Badgley connected online. In 2019, Badgley mentioned the popular performer at the event “In Conversation with YOU.” He praised her for her connection with her fans, saying, “To me, [social media] is this incredibly nuanced place to be, and despite what many might judge as antics, I feel she has an incredibly authentic relationship to that, and I think that’s why people like her so much.”
Cardi understandably freaked out over the praise. Upon hearing about it, she tweeted “OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME !!!OMMMGGGG!!!!!!Yoooo like I’m famous famous.” She changed her profile to a photo of him back then, as well. At the time, Badgley’s response was to make Cardi his profile photo. Additionally, prior to the release of Season 3, Joe Goldberg himself sent Cardi a personal package of goodies. She shared that on Twitter, as well.
