Jamie Foxx's new standup special brings laughs and revelations: How to watch

Jaime Foxx's return to the comedy circuit is generating plenty of buzz.

The "Django Unchained" star has a new special out on Netflix titled "What Had Happened Was...," which marks his return to the stage after a medical incident left him hospitalized last year.

The hourlong program provides a mix of heartfelt reflection and levity or, as Foxx himself put it, "If I can stay funny, I can stay alive."

While Foxx's hospitalization was initially shrouded in mystery, the comedian revealed in the special that he had been in a stroke-induced coma.

"I lost everything, but the only thing I could hold onto was my sense of humor," the actor said. "I couldn't necessarily walk that good, I couldn't talk that good, but I didn't let go of my funny."
