In just under a decade, comedian, writer, and actor Jerrod Carmichael has had a remarkably varied career. On the heels of his Emmywinning HBO special "Rothaniel," he embarked on a personal new project: Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show.

Carmichael joins us today to discuss the origin of the program, his early days making his NBC sitcom, and why he decided to broadcast a deeply intimate conversation on the reality show. Then, he unpacks his view of the camera as a vessel for honesty, the response from audiences witnessing Jerrod ‘Truman Show’ himself, and his threedecade history of storytelling.

On the backhalf, Carmichael describes the artists who inspired his work, a formative performance in his first HBO special "Love at the Store," and the evolution of his comedy. To close, he reflects on the central truth he explores in this new series, and how he hopes this art will at long last set himself—and his family—free.
