It’s being reported that comedian and actress Ali Wong (“Always Be My Maybe”) will bring her next two standup comedy specials to Netflix with the first one releasing globally in 2020 after a furious bidding war by several channels/networks, which ultimately saw Netflix as the winner.
“Ali is electric. She offers a completely distinct voice in the culture, and audiences all over the world have responded to her raw, unfiltered humor,” director of original stand up comedy programming Robbie Praw said. “We’re so proud to make Netflix the home of her comedy specials for years to come.” Wong’s past two specials, “Baby Cobra” and “Hard Knock Wife,” were both Netflix exclusives.
