Fox Nation Plans Rob Schneider Standup Special
deadline.comFox Nation has scheduled a comedy special with Rob Schneider for June 18 titled Rob Schneider: Woke Up in America. The subscription streaming service from Fox News has previously streamed a standup special from Roseanne Barr, as the platform has marketed itself with entertainment and lifestyle offerings in addition to news personalities.
According to Fox, the special “will feature Schneider’s signature comedic take on a variety of topics, including culture wars, living in a woke world, and navigating the nuanced times of identity politics.
He will also tackle the controversy surrounding the word woman and UFOs, plus making a movie with former President Donald Trump and his own vasectomy saga.” The special was filmed in front of a live audience at the Tampa Theater in Tampa, FL.
