Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show S1
Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show is a darkly funny documentary series about the Emmy-winning comedian’s tumultuous quest for love, sex, and truth.
As his experiment in radical honesty begins, Jerrod confronts his crush, avoids his mother, and scrambles to find a date to the Emmys®.
The HBO Original had its world premiere at SXSW in March 2024 and currently has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Time says, “Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show makes reality TV - hilariously, painfully - real again,” while The Hollywood Reporter says, “I laughed and covered my eyes in mortification in equal measure — and since I finished my screeners, I haven’t stopped thinking about it.”
