Jamie Foxx is a natural storyteller, and this shines through in his retelling of his health scare. Though he recounts a frightening and emotional experience, he skillfully lightens the mood with humor, cracking jokes about his time in the hospital and his interactions with the medical staff.
This balance between comedy and vulnerability creates an uneven but engaging experience. One moment, Foxx is on the verge of tears, and the next, he's delivering expletive-filled jokes that leave the audience laughing.
At its core, this is a testament to his gratitude-for life, for a second chance, and for the people who supported him through the ordeal. While it's not a traditional stand-up special, it's an entertaining and heartfelt reflection on survival, resilience, and appreciation.

Jamie Fox is indisputably one talented man. But he is just a human man. He seems to be floored that he should suffer a normal human ailment. He is so arrogant he doesn't seem to understand that people with far less resources go through exactly what he went through every day and they also recover. And they also get through it whether they believe or "find" god or not. Yes, he's talented. But he is also incredibly self indulgent. So if you want to spend an hour worshipping Jamie Foxx, this is the perfect vehicle. But if you have ever been or loved a person who has worked through a similar personal tragedy, you will likely find this "comedy special" tedious, over the top self congratulatory, and definitely lacking in any depth or self reflection.
What happened was I had no idea what happened to Jamie Foxx so I thought to myself I didn't know Jamie Foxx did stand-up, and everybody was talking about this so I should check it out. Imagine expecting jokes and you get a confessional / testimonial of this guy's stroke journey, complete with gratitude and praising god. So I did not really resonate with this cause I don't really resonate all that much with Jamie Foxx and this discourse is clearly tailored to his black audience, and there are some funny bits here and there, I won't deny it, but not enough to keep me invested. I actually paused it straight in the middle weeks ago and finished it just now just for the sake of finishing it. This second part did have some funny stuff like the Denzel, Chappelle and the Trump impersonations (the last one was totally unexpected, but so, so good) and he ended it on a high with singing, so that was good. But not really worth my time if I'm honest. Not my thing.
In April 2023, news broke that Jamie Foxx had been hospitalized in Atlanta with what his daughter described on Instagram as a "medical complication." Not much else was revealed, and in the vacuum of information, rumors spread. When a photo of Foxx appeared online, some conspiracy-minded types called it a clone. Katt Williams even jokingly questioned and made fun of his "mysterious illness."
Now Foxx says he wants to set the record straight. Speaking in a theater a few hundred yards from the hospital where he says his life was saved, Foxx enters wearing sunglasses but takes them off quickly to wipe away tears. He says he experienced a brain bleed, suffered a stroke, temporarily lost the ability to walk and doesn't remember 20 days of his life. It's a moving performance that feels like part of a growing trend of how comics deal with medical catastrophe.

This had its moments of brilliance, particularly in his trademark impressions, which showcased his undeniable talent as a performer. However, much of the show struggled to connect, bogged down by a tone that felt more self-aggrandizing than self-reflective.
The repeated phrase "...But I'm Jamie Foxx" came across as overly self-important, as if he was leaning too heavily on his celebrity status to set himself apart from universal human experiences like health struggles and personal setbacks. Instead of inviting the audience into his world with humility or insight, this refrain felt alienating and, frankly, tiresome. It seemed to suggest he believed he was somehow immune to life's trials-or at least that his handling of them should inspire awe simply because of his fame.
Beyond the hubris, some of his observations felt out of touch, as though they were crafted with an audience of peers rather than everyday viewers in mind. While Foxx's natural charisma and comedic timing still shone in spots, especially in the impressions, those moments were overshadowed by a number of cringeworthy missteps.
Ultimately, the special had flashes of brilliance but was undermined by a tone that felt more focused on celebrating Foxx's persona than delivering relatable or truly incisive comedy. Fans of his will find things to enjoy, but many might walk away wishing for less hubris.

- WissenswertesThis comedy special made headlines, shortly after it was recorded at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta on Oct 4-6, 2024. Multiple audience members were quoted in a variety of online news sources at the time (such as The New York Post, Comedy Hype, and Page Six) as reporting that Jamie Foxx had explicitly revealed to the crowd that rap star Sean "Diddy" Combs had poisoned him, to prevent Foxx from speaking out about criminal activity. These eyewitness accounts included videographer Choke No Joke and security-guard Big Homie CC, and alleged how Foxx had related to the live audience that he was secretly poisoned by Diddy, and had reported him to the FBI, leading to Diddy's arrest and eventual downfall. If such bombshell dialogue was genuinely delivered from the stage when this comedy special was taped, none of it actually made it into the final-cut of this Netflix broadcast, as it was aired in Dec 2024.
