Netflix’s release of the figure was significant, as the streaming service company generally does not announce its viewership numbers.
The feature gained attention for its unconventional setup, having been filmed in the 41-year-old’s own living room.
Topics covered in the feature included his children’s education, the controversy surrounding his involvement with the 91st Academy Awards, and coping with the lifestyle changes forced on him by COVID-19.
The comedian reportedly tested positive for the virus earlier in the year, but stated in August that he could not reveal his condition due to Tom Hanks having received the same diagnosis around the same period.
