Jerrod Carmichael, thirty-six, should luxuriate in pauses, because they are the only moments of silence he'll get for the time being. On March 29, Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show premiered on HBO. It is Carmichael's experiment in radical honesty: a self-Truman Showing of himself, in which his entire life, including his most intimate moments, are filmed and put on display. It is a big-budget exploration of his fidelity to his first real boyfriend as an out gay man, his struggle to be a less self-involved friend, and, most prominently, his relationship with his very Christian mother and the father who raised him alongside a whole other secret family. |
