We’re eight weeks into 2017, and already Netflix has announced or released stand-up comedy specials from the following:

  • Dave Chappelle
  • Chris Rock
  • Jerry Seinfeld
  • Louis CK
  • Amy Schumer
  • Sarah Silverman
  • Jim Norton
  • Bill Burr
  • Trevor Noah
  • Mike Birbiglia

The Louis CK deal became official today, and he chatted with me about his decision to join everyone else at Netflix this year. His deal includes two specials; the first, called 2017, was filmed a few weeks ago and will be released April 4. Read all about what’s happening with Netflix and stand-ups in my piece in Decider!
