Kara Swisher sits down with Emmy-winning comedian Jerrod Carmichael
for a raw and revealing conversation about truth, family, faith —
and the art of standup. They dig into Carmichael’s work, including
his deeply personal special “Rothaniel,” his genre-bending
documentary “The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show” (which he
describes as a sitcom), and his latest special, “Don’t Be Gay.” The
two of them talk about class in America, the fears that kept him
closeted, the role of religion and spirituality in his life, and
why standup must evolve or die. Plus, why he’s the son his mother
deserves, what he’s learned from artists like Jay-Z and Spalding
Gray, and why he wants to “remove hyphens” from his name and focus
on stand-up comedy. Happy Pride — and happy listening. Questions?
