What's On Tonight (Saturday): Live from Baltimore, it's Chris Rock

Chris Rock: Selective Outrage

Tonight slaps! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, March 4!

Our Top Pick tonight is the special Chris Rock: Selective Outrage (Netflix, 10 p.m.). The special is a big moment for Netflix because it is live, globally. However, what the special is remains under wraps, though I assume it's a standup special. We are a week from the Oscars and Rock hasn't publicly said anything about the incident last year. There is also a pre-show and post-show for the obsessed.

Elsewhere, the kids and indies give out awards, Kym Whitley, Tisha Campbell and Yvette Nicole Brown need to Act their Age, women gotta Say Yes, Travis Kelce is Live from New York, the planet stops being Frozen, Murdoch goes to a burlesque show, and One Piece takes on the beast.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
