At 10PM on HBO tonight, Jerrod Carmichael’s second special “8″ will be premiering. After having some seasons of his own critically acclaimed network sitcom and an hour long HBO special under his belt, we’re thoroughly curious as to what this latest snapshot of Jerrod will be like.

As you’ll notice from this promo, it has a rather distinct look apart from most stand-up specials. That might have something to do with the one and only Bo Burnham directing it. They’re probably are some great surprises in there as well with Bo in the director’s seat.

Remember, Dave Chappelle hasn’t released a stand-up special since 2004.

Sure, there’s plenty of stuff that he has done since then, but that gap in time contrasts sharply with many of comedy’s current biggest names cranking specials every year or so.

So, maybe, to make up for lost time, the two specials that Netflix ordered from Dave Chappelle will start streaming at the same time, Tuesday, March 21st and they’ll be coming from “his personal comedy vault”.

Netflix has nabbed several golden geese with lining-up comedy specials from Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Louis CK, Amy Schumer, and Jerry Seinfeld.

Netflix Lines Up Two Louis C.K. Comedy Specials, One of Which is Debuting in April

Netflix has got specials on deck from Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Amy Schumer, Jerry Seinfeld, and now, Louis C.K. It’s almost like they’re trying do a stand-up comedy equivalent of a planetary alignment.

The first of the two specials that C.K. will be doing is simply called 2017 and was taped in, of all places that you could tape a special right now, Washington D.C. Given Louis being vocal on the POTUS having plenty of parallels to Hitler, there’s an extra layer of intrigue on top of a new C.K. special coming out. “2017″ will start streaming on Netflix on Tuesday, April 4th.

With all these gigantic comedy stars, one has to wonder where Netflix goes from here in regards to comedy specials.

We admit that we’re a little late to the party here as Cristela Alonzo’s Lower Classy started streaming last week.

Still, you absolutely should give it a watch as Cristela gives an hour of stand-up that’s as truthful and funny as it is endearing in all of her observations and stories of her life of being uniquely herself between different worlds.

In fact, Lower Classy serves as a great, hilarious example of why Cristela should probably get another show of her own.

By the way, Netflix already is off to a hot start this year with comedy specials having Cristela’s right in line with specials from Neal Brennan and Bill Burr.

Chris Gethard’s Solo Show “Career Suicide” Will Air on HBO in May

When it comes to comedy specials, HBO still is a force to be reckoned with.

Despite Netflix nabbing specials from Chappelle, Rock, Seinfeld, and Schumer for this year, HBO choosing to release Chris Gethard comedy special from his Off-Broadway show could bode very well for them.

Also, please note how ironic the concept of something called “Career Suicide” being an HBO special is.

Now, American C*nt is available as an album and you can just buy and listen to it over and over without subscribing to anything. You can (and very much should) get it off of iTunes here.

Last year, Jena Friedman recorded and released an amazing hour special on Seeso entitled American C*nt where she expertly dove into gender inequality in a darkly comedic and clever way.

She did a record it in a much more hopeful time where the idea of Trump becoming President was far from the reality it is now, but this hour from Jena is still as great and relevant now that the previously unimaginable has happened.
