"First time in nine years, OK?" Rock said, referencing his Kill the Messenger tour and HBO special. "I've been a little busy, you know, writing Pootie Tang 3 and everything," he joked, "but it's time."

Rock will reportedly film the first of two new specials on the tour, according to Rolling Stone. Those two will join three more specials from Rock's colleague Dave Chappelle on Netflix sometime in the near future. Watch the announcement below.
