Jerrod Carmichael on Kanye West & New Comedy Special

I'd pay money to see Jerrod and Vince Staples have a conversation

[HiMyNameIsDannny]

He doesn't act or talk like a celebrity, more like a guy who got randomly asked to be a guest.

Carmichael is on Seinfeld levels of nuance comedy...at a much younger age.. 🔥

[treegerl]

Jerrod is so right. Kanye does speak in concepts. That's why at first listen, a lot of people think he doesn't make any sense. They're only taking in the surface level meaning of what he's saying rather than the deeper meanings behind the concepts he's proposing.

[helenomstreken]

Jerrod is gonna be huge. Hes as comfortable in front of an audience and as real as veterans like chappelle, louis ck, bill burr

[clarkjoe]

Carmichael Show was cancelled prematurely

[madfun]

lol he's a little awkward but seems funny

[airzone]

Every time I look at Kimmel videos he talks about trump.

[OneNOnlyLianna]

I like Jerrod. I miss the Carmichael show 🙁

[quintandf]

He's this generation of Chappelle when it comes to Stand Up as far as style and delivery. Carmichael was on it's way to be phenomenal too bad another black show was canceled

[NewMessage]

Woah, woah, woah, relax, man! That's as animated as I've ever seen him.

[waynepayne]

Don't know who this kid is, but you can tell he is a free thinker and isn't just a mindless anti trump. (You can be against trump, that's very valid, but to be one of these clone leftists is sad. This kid ain't one of them.)

[streettalkthesoul]

love jerrod. seemed like the interviewer wanted dirt on kanye, jerrod wasn't havin' it. 👊

[Cguy]

He kinda dresses like Kanye but kinda sounds like Jay-Z

[mmobilemedia]

Come on Netflix, pick up the CarMichael show (hell, you pick up everything else).

[pineallens]

This guy had the best comedy citcom on TV and they killed it. We don't want to see your comedy special we want to see your sitcom. It would be cool if you went to Tidal and got a deal to do a few seasons.

[jaronking]

He looks like he could be Young Dolph's brother

[ncorp]

He doesn't seem like he has that showbiz vibe yet...he doesn't put on airs and acts like he's having a normal conversation on the street. I always wonder how famous people prep themselves so well for interviews and seem fully entertaining and also natural. I've done two interviews, and I quickly realized it's not as easy as it seems...Also, he's cute.

[ALPHADOG]

Very humble funny and regular kid. Good luck man

[MsBerich]

I love how when he's uncomfortable to provide answers to questions about other people, he redirects the conversation by shrugging his shoulders and saying idk
