As a gamer who’s been through more lives than I care to count, I can truly appreciate Jamie Foxx‘s resilience and determination. The man’s been through the wringer, from health scares to family milestones, yet he keeps coming back stronger. It’s like watching a character in a game who just won’t die, but in this case, it’s real life!
Lately, Jamie Foxx has had plenty of reasons to cheer – not just because his daughter Corinne Foxx tied the knot with her long-term partner Joe Hooten, but also due to an upcoming comedy special he’s working on, which Netflix subscribers will soon get to enjoy. This joyous news arrives more than a year after he was hospitalized for an unspecified health issue. It seems that Jamie Foxx is now in good health again, as evidenced by him raising a glass to toast overcoming his past health challenges.
Last weekend, the 56-year-old entertainer was in Atlanta, where he presented a show titled “What Had Happened Was” as part of his latest production. This stand-up special will be the Ray actor’s first in over two decades and will delve into his current health issues. CBS Mornings’ Gayle King was present to congratulate the Oscar winner after his performance. King posted a video on Instagram showing a happy comedian popping a champagne bottle. The star was also candid about what he’s gone through in the past year.

Previously this year, it appeared that Jamie Foxx might be gearing up for a comeback to stand-up, as suggested by a social media post. The update featured a clip from his special, “I Might Need Security“, where he mimics Prince singing the Brady Bunch theme song. Only just now, however, was Foxx’s partnership with Netflix for the new special made official. It’s worth noting that the star of “Day Shift” has been absent from his comedy background for a while, and as you can observe in the video above, he acknowledges this fact.
Before taking the stage for a stand-up comedy show, he found the anticipation to be quite “painful,” knowing that laughter wasn’t always a certainty. It was heartening for him, though, that his audience reacted positively to his act. With everyone needing a good chuckle these days, it’s clear that the legendary In Living Color figure truly values humor. I can imagine that he’d prefer never to endure such a challenging period again, just as much as we do.
There hasn’t been much news lately about Cameron Diaz’s big-screen comeback alongside Jamie Foxx, and it could be because of a shift in Netflix’s plans.
In April 2023, Corinne Foxx announced that her father, Jamie Foxx, had been hospitalized due to an undisclosed medical issue. This happened during the filming of his upcoming movie, “Back in Action” (2025), alongside Cameron Diaz. Throughout this period, numerous speculations about Jamie’s health circulated, with Corinne refuting many of them. In July 2023, Jamie publicly discussed his health struggle by posting a video on social media, where he revealed he had been through a tough ordeal and went to the brink of hell. This announcement garnered an outpouring of support from fellow celebrities like The Rock and Viola Davis.
Ever since then, I’ve been thrilled to see updates about Jamie Foxx returning to his work. His latest comedy special is a clear indication of his progress in this area. It’s undeniably disheartening that such a beloved figure had to endure a tough phase, but it’s heartening to witness him regaining his health and getting back to what he cherishes – acting. Here’s hoping Foxx continues to enjoy good health and lands even more fantastic roles that will fill our laughter tanks!
As of now, an exact release date for “What Had Happened Was” hasn’t been set yet. In the interim, remember to regularly check the Netflix release calendar for any new information regarding its premiere.
