Jerrod Carmichael: Don't Be Gay (2025)
Comedian Jerrod Carmichael returns to the stage for his fourth HBO stand-up special, Don’t Be Gay, three years after he came out publicly in the Emmy-winning special Rothaniel.
“We’ve worked with Jerrod since his first special in 2014, and it’s truly been inspiring to see him grow and push boundaries at every turn,” says Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Late Night and Specials. “His last special, Rothaniel, was raw, intimate, and sparked a conversation about what a comedy special could be. He pushed that even further with Reality Series, a groundbreaking blend of verité and performance in which he delivered some of his most emotionally honest work yet. This new special continues to build on that impact with the same vulnerability and sharp wit that makes Jerrod’s voice so singular.”
Variety hails the “laugh-out loud” special from the “master storyteller” as “witty, brash, guttingly honest and slightly heartbreaking.”
