The extension may have something to do with Rock's forthcoming Netflix specials, which he will be earning a reported $40 million from. However, it is still unknown when his two comedy specials will be released. Purchase tickets for the tour here.
Rock recently served as the cover star for the latest issue of Rolling Stone, where he discussed his divorce from Malaak Compton-Rock. The interview contains a notable moment, where Rock recounts Dave Chappelle asking him if he had cried during the divorce process when the two comedians took over New Orleans earlier this year.

"Chappelle turned shrink and asked Rock if he cried during the divorce process. Rock said he cried once: ‘During the custody battle.’
Afterward, Rock says it was a revelatory moment. ‘No one’s ever asked me that,’ he says. ‘I don’t even know if a shrink has asked me that. We live in a world where men are assumed to not have feelings.’ He gives an example. ‘All my friends assume I moved into the city after my divorce, away from my girls. When I say I bought a house around the corner, it blows their minds.'”
