Co-CEO Reed Hastings and his Netflix management colleagues didn’t let the current controversy over Dave Chappelle slow their roll during the company’s third-quarter earnings interview.
As expected, the internal and external backlash this month over Chappelle’s recent special, The Closer, did not come up during the 41-minute, pre-taped discussion. The video was posted to YouTube two hours after the company delivered solid earnings ahead of internal forecasts and Wall Street estimates. The company did more marveling at Squid Game (Hastings and VP of Investor Relations and Corporate Development Spencer Wang even donned track suits to match the show’s wardrobe) and marked progress in other areas. For the third straight quarter, Nidhi Gupta of Fidelity moderated the conversation, and didn’t exactly come out guns blazing. “First off, I want to say congratulations on all the success in the quarter,” she began, and so it went from there.
