"WOOWWWW" was me too thou 🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂😂, "its all getting flushed" 😭😭😭
🤣 I did too! Woooooww
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Nasty
When he said it was all getting flushed…damn near took me out lol! He is hilarious!!
@@heather6457 BUT baby's don't survive 😆
He has such a warm delivery, it feels he's just a friend telling you his life story.
He's just gay for pay
Not everyone is your level of desperately broke
Proud of him. I came out at 30, gradually. An ongoing process even at 37 now, though most of whom I care about know.
I didn’t really know I was asexual til I was like 20…then didn’t realize I was JUST romantically into men AND women til I was like 23.
Same
I came out at 29 to my conservative Christian family and community...no small tussle, I'll tell you that~
@@d.m.junior6194 why do you feel it was no small tussle? Just a question and want to be educated, I don’t even know how to have a conversation with a non heterosexual person should go. Just watch a interview and it becomes complicated to decipher how to address a non heterosexual person. I mean no disrespect at all and I hope you don’t take offense.
@@jamaal9911 this is a very good question! It’s a very intense situation because being gay in the African American community is seen in a very horrible light and way. To come out would be to risk social, spiritual, emotional, and physical harm. This is exacerbated by the fact that many in the black community are often conservative Christian in belief or practice which makes the situation harder.
His delivery is so original. You don't know when or how the next joke is coming. So it is alway unexpected.
That "wow" in the audience 😂
can we have a moment for how stunning this cinematography is? the shot at 1:08 is gorgeous. this is so welcome after watching boring blah netflix comedy shows. jerrod is charming af so i'll watch for that alone, but the aesthetics here are not to be ignored
Yeah, there were a lot of great shots*. Bo Burnam directed. I enjoyed the visuals from Carmichael’s “8” special too, also directed by Bo Burnam.
*Amusingly my roommate’s cat was super drawn toward watching the tv while I was watching this. Normally he doesn’t care.
Bo Burnham also directed Chris Rocks last special which was well received. And Jarrod directed Drew Michaels comedy special. It’s clear he likes an intimate vibe
It really is; truly a work of art. Great eye for spotting.
a close up? does that constitute cinematography? 🎥
I just watched it, and for me, it was one of the greatest standups I've ever seen. Perfect blend of realness and hilarity, EXTREMELY relatable, instant classic in my view.
I died at "vanilla king". Deceased. Flatlined. Somebody please resuscitate me. 😂
i was looking for this comment LMFAOOOOO
I mean ivory king sounds better but we will take it 👌🏻 lol
I knoweewwwwwwsw!!!
Dead serious ... that took me out 😂😂😂😂😂
He's a genuine talent; sees things from a humorous perspective and is a good story teller. Hope his special is super successful. This part of his life story would make good television. Something that I don't think has ever been featured on television.
He had me laughing and choked up! Great performance with well presented humor that hits your soul. I want to see more of Roth!!!
Honestly- I could never quite figure him out. When he can out as gay - his jokes and personality all of a sudden started to make sense. It seems weird that some people are still in the closet. Just shows that as a society, we still have a long way to go.
Racism should show us that we still have a long way to go. That seems weird that it's even a thing.
Racism and Homophobia are both equally important social issues. As a gay black person I know what I'm talking about. @@spendmoneykwam
Don't forget that the acceptance of gays as well as the entire spectrum of LGBTQ individuals. It's plastered on almost every show and advertisement, IN FRONT of children who have parents with TRADITIONAL Values. Not so far back that they want to kill someone cuz of their sexual orientation. Just to where you didn't have to worry about the COO/CEO of Disney forcing that message onto the kids that it's COOL to be gay. Not that it's ACCEPTABLE AND EVEN A PROUD MOMENT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL WHEN THEY FINALLY COME OUT. Nowadays gay people get more respect and appreciation than Blacks or cyst genders really have. Like I said, so many who not only are accepting but enforcing teaching the way of life to children and teaching children about homosexuality in school. The narratives driven by gays like they are still being pelted with rocks astounds me 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ SMFH
@@jimalemartinez what I’m not going to tolerate is the oppression Olympics
@@reyrey7775 And let's not forget I'm not spewing Bible verses at you so you BETTER consider yourself lucky lil dude 😏😉😂
This IS the best comedy show I have ever seen. The raw, real, openness draws me in on a personal level. I am truly glad Jerrod fought past shame and shared his truth. There will always be battles to fight and we can celebrate each victory. Live your truth... Love yourself, I love you! 💕😘
The BEST, really? THE BEST You've either got a LGBTwhatever agenda or you don't know comedy
@@sultanjelle9168 Those alternative options reflect more about you and your own agenda. As well as poor reading comprehension. OP said it was “the best comedy show *I have ever seen*.” That last bit signify’s the statement as a subjective declaration.
It's up there. I would say top 50. For sure, and it'll be ageless because it's not topical or period referencing.
@@checksanity shush y’all LGBT people are hecklers I’m with chappelle on that
Because he came out as gay ?
I have not seen the special (can’t afford HBO) but in interviews he’s very charming and funny. From this clip I’d say he’s the personification of representation in so many ways. Not just because of race and sexuality because he has such a great sense of self and sense of humor about his personal journey. Men like him are a role model in many ways, not just about gay or straight but about how we need to envision a broader understanding of masculinity especially in a culture where “different” is under constant attack these days. I have not black, but my perception is that the traditional image of masculinity plays a disproportionate role in their culture; all the more reason to have more examples of what being a good man looks like.
Proud of dude, my cousin came out late, always wished he could’ve lived the life he wanted to live while he was young.
That mrs doubtfire reference was perfect
So refreshing and can relate! I came out in my early 30s, and even though I am glad I did, there is always a part of me that wished I had lived openly when I was in my teens and 20s. It kinda feels like lost time. It hits me harder when I think about how my mom reacted to me coming out with “I know…”.
now i see why no one knew who he was but he had a tv show !!!! hes part of the community!!
As a mom, sometimes I struggled more with the fact that my son didn't consider me a safe enough space to open up to me, more than the secret he was keeping. Your mom may be feeling some of that as well. Give her time and treat her as you always have - after all, in a way that's what you're asking from her. I'm praying for both of you. 💕💕💕
This is the same thing that my mom said to me at one point. She cried and asked me what she’d done to make me think she wouldn’t support me and I’ll tell you the same thing I told her:
It’s not what you did or didn’t do. It’s that you hear so many stories about mom’s who were one way when it was other peoples’ kids and totally different when it’s their own. Even if in your heart you know your mom has got you, that .2% chance that maybe she wont be okay with it is scary. So much scarier than a 50% chance with a friend or colleague or anyone else.
Wishing you and your son lots of love ❤
I watched it and I lovedit. It was truly amazing and unique! It felt like having a great conversation with a close friend whom you haven't seen in a long time.
No such thing as coming out late. You're right on time
So proud of him. Representation is important. I’m inspired.
I never thought that he was gay but I watch the Carmichael show almost everyday and I have always said that he was never affectionate enough with Maxine on the parts of the show that were intimate…. I love the fact that he has come out, I wish it had been sooner❤
He really tells a story and draws you in ala Dave Chapelle. It's not like he is telling jokes, just relaying funny stories.😂
Y’all comparing a gay man in anyway to Dave Chappell in 2022 is wild and shows we have a long way to go for folx to understand blindspots 😳🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Please don't insult Dave Chappelle by comparing this non-comedian to the GOAT of comedy
I just watched this on a whim, and was taken on an emotional journey like no other.
So happy to see him again and that he came out. Good for you Jarrod. Love your work 💕💕
I forgot all about this, it's received rave reviews, I'm definitely going to watch this over the Easter Holiday weekend
No one cares
@nicoblac 😂😂😂😂 you ain’t have to do that
I 😊enjoyed this it didn’t seem like a skit he rehearsed seems like he just got on stage and expressed to us how he’s been feeling for so long and him being free to be himself without hiding who he is I love🥰it
I think he's really gonna be one of the greatest, I remember listening to his stand up over 10 years ago, glad to see he's still at it and even better than before.
He committed career suicide !
He said it with a smile on his face
Ohhhh...this is gon' be even better than I thought. I am S8 proud of you, Bro. Good for you...
I’m proud of this young brother be ture to your self you not living your life for people except yourself.🙏🏿👏🏿🎯💯
He’s glowing. I’m so happy for him
Everyone should check out his first special "live at the store" I was howling laughing he's so talented
Coming out in any age is never too late as long as you are unapologetically you right to the end. And that you became a version of yourself that your past versions can be proud of.
truly a perfect special.
i forgot how funny dude is lol imma check this out
Yeah i always thought this dude was funny, doubtfire reference cracked me up lol
Good for him. And this is hilarious...I will check the special out lol.
That Sally Field/Mrs Doubtfire part had me rollingggg
"THE whole timeeee?!"
This special was awesome.
This cinematography though. Outstanding!
Vanilla King LMFAO!!! Bless you Jerrod.
I knew he was, not even surprised. Just always gave me a different type of vibe
gays can recognize others gays...
Man I should have placed a bet.
I'm the "wow" unshockedly but definitely gonna watch this stand up.
Wow, I love his delivery and how casual his whole demeanor is. Can't wait to watch the rest!
That "It gets better with time" bull only works with a SELECT few, NOT for ALL children going through the process, ESPECIALLY if the child is of color. If you don't want to go through the "Coming Out" process, don't do it, just LIVE YOUR TRUTH. If someone asks, you have a right to tell them YES or MIND YA BUSINESS. Just live your truth and ALWAYS love yourself for it. Don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise no matter WHO it is.💯
Preach it!!!
I hope you're gay saying this, because it's not really a straight person's place.
appreciate this!!
He seems so sad during this performance. I hope his family steps up to give him the love and support he's craving. If they don't they ain't shat!!
He could be sad because of his life choices and sexuality... But that's too far a stretch (input sarcasm you probably missed)
@@NotEnuff8 I'm sure he's sad because that mythological God his mother believes in doesn't exist!! So she's wasting her time loving a myth instead of her son.
@@kimbronson3520 or maybe he’s ashamed at what he has become.
He's not but you should be
I will never understand why some people feel the need to call something unfunny and then just leave
This guys tone and delivery...he could be tomorrows dave chappelle.
I’m reinstating my HBO account just to see this 🔥
Same
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Very Original and unpredictable!! Smooth like we are all just old friends of his. I like him... ALOT!
I pray for him - his face is too sweet to me lol
Wow,just wow...i love the way he talk..
The Sally Field part has me rolling..I watch that part repeatedly and crack up
tbh his energy as a performer n comic is actually more soothing just like dave chappell when he makes jokes its nonchalant i can dig it. ps when i saw the thumbnail i thought this was a leon bridge music video
Comparing a black gay comedian to Dave Chappell 😔 🤦🏾♀️🥺
His presence in Igor makes even more sense. Honestly a nice touch if Tyler knew
!SPOILERS!
Ugh this special was hilarious yet gut wrenching! Especially when he talked about his mom being cold towards him. And then how his brother was like ‘i love you i just don’t agree with that side of you’. It really goes to show how much especially black ppl have to go for the acceptance of the lgbt+ community and the need to stop picking and choosing sins from the bible and being high strung about it. But the part where his black female friends were just mad he was dating a yt dude had me hollering!
Omg yeees! I was just so moved by the whole special. I don't think I've ever seen a man be this vulnerable and open publicly. They are never allowed to be; so many men are taught that it's not ok. And I swear I teared up when he talked about his mom and the whole concept of "love with an asterisk". I just wanted to hug him when it was over.
"White men should marry white women and have white babies" lmao
Yes
He’s the illest. No matter his preferences
Do you *prefer* to be straight? Just curious.
@@prestuvius Yeah realized how that might’ve sounded. Lol. I just meant that who he loves doesn’t take away from his greatness in any way at all. I admire him a lot, it was a compliment.
Love Carmichael's tv show...it should have never ended. These stand up shows are great, but he needs to do many more then he does....too long between specials.
Speechless
just Speechless
Well Good for you Jerrod
The realness of his conversation/set was pure and authentic💪🏿🤞🏾💯🔥
I never found this dude funny, but I'm forreal forreal happy for him and that he's finding his way and starting to live as his authentic self.
About the whole Still Mad You Date Somebody White thing I think black women/people are still tripped out about that because it shows just how pervasive that programming is within us as black people. That no matter our gender or sexual orientation, we are primed to aspirationally seek white partners/view Whiteness as the quintessential beauty. It's sort of inescapable when even gay brothers and sisters seek partners outside the race. As a Black person looking for a Black partner, it's only logical that it inevitably would at least plant the "Am I ever really enough?" seed in the mind.
Of course, Love Is Love and "Maybe people just find each other and connect and have a lot in common-" etc. And yes, that can't be discounted. Still, when one understands the history and reality of the way black people have been characterized and the narratives surrounding us as partners/our perceived attractiveness or lack thereof and how that effects our prospects, it only stands to reason that continuously seeing black people at some point in our lives go for someone white would be a little disheartening. 🤷🏾♂️
Interesting observations, thanks. As a white, bi guy, I have A ridiculously broad spectrum of who or what turns me on from red haired women to Idris Elba! I find men or women with dark skin and classic features that would be ordinarily attributed to a black person extraordinarily attractive. I really have never understood how anyone cannot see beauty in just about anyone but I guess that’s a byproduct of white privilege… When society tells you consciously or not that being white is the standard you can’t see what it must be like to feel secondary even within your own culture.
Wow, love this comment! Much love to you!
@@itspearlkitty Thank you beautiful sista
@@rixx46 very astute. And tbh that blindspot isn't just a white thing. Most cultures are bathed in the idea of Pretty=Light.
🙌🏿
He’s brilliant. Well done.
Love this guy 🤣💀
I watched this streaming this morning, I never saw his work before, he would make the best actor, I never saw anyone that could show more emotions than him, he has beautiful eyes. I figured something was different when he kept trying to run his fingers through his hair, black men don't do that???
He has a pretty big role in Poor Things, and he starred in his directorial debut On the Count of Three. Agreed that Jerrod is a terrific actor! :)
Jarrod is a comedian?? Thats crazy
Congratulations to you! May you be blessed and be happy!
“My vanilla king” - sheesh…to each their own though. Respect to Jerrod for walking in his truth. Stay strong!!
He's so handsome and with such a good delivery
The only type of Black Man society respects...
Always in last place
When he said he was Bi that was pretty much it and that was years ago
Absolutely one of the best comedy specials I’ve ever seen. Heartfelt, personal, and hilarious
Uh. I always assumed he was gay. Jerrod never pinged as straight to me.
EXACTLY!! Even when he had his TV show I knew he was gay!!
Same
I'm a biracial woman, but God I love this guy. He is so funny and honest. When his talking about the black sisters, I recognize it all. Stay away from their brother, cuosin, son, etc.
WTF ?
Maybe they don't like you cause of your personality....
He played it well... The first time watching him was in his sitcom.
Man you killed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is too cute!!
Ain't there no black wakanda king you could find 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Vanilla King" lmfao Jerrod got it bruh amazing comedy
I can’t wait to watch this!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I still need to work on why I felt a type of way when I heard he had a white boyfriend
you should... I used to think and feel a way until I actually asked a few why they only dated white guys, long story short, they tried and tried but lets be honest with ourselves, black gay men (can be) picky af, judgmental af, and if you have the slightest bit of femininity that can mirror any that I may have that I'm not comfortable with then its a "nah".
#BoysWithNewNames
The only famous gay Black man I can think of that dates BM is lil nas X.
@@veeceey1073 Most BM, in general, are colorists and self-hating. Sexual orientation aside, BM will talk crap about BM. It's why they are always trying to separate themselves from the collective.
@@veeceey1073 I wonder why? Either way even in the gay dating circle, whiteness shows itself as the end goal for Black people. Steve Lacy only dates white men not just men but white men.
@@RobandSijay After seeing the special in full most gay Black men have it real hard. Reality of being black outside of who you are dating is too much, how much more when you throw in sexual orientation. All I saw was just hurt in his eyes, he is free but him having to navigate life with the possibility of cutting his Mom off is too much. This show a doubled egded sword for black men especially. If famous black men go through soo much, how much more a regular Balck kid?
He has as very Bill Cosby approach to comedy. The sitting and calmly telling stories about his life is a very Cosby approach...although his punch lines comes a bit faster than Cosby. Both are not afraid of silence and letting their stories linger before giving their punch line.
Really good special
Adore you JC...loved your show wssad to see it go away. So happy to see you back with your HBO Rothaniel.
If anyone hasn't seen the special I highly recommend it! Very warm, funny and emotional
I'm not gay but my man can put some comedy down..... this to me wasn't very funny but more of a life lesson, maybe I'm wrong but him as a comedian still kills it.... thanks for your honesty and dude put out another killer
“They all reacted like sally feilds in mrs doubtfire” 😂
Was I the only 1 not surprised? Happy for him
This is the most vulnerable comedy specials i heard in a long time. Probabsince John Luguizamos special in the 2000's i think.
Dude is super funny but now that he has came out his comedy is going to blow up
He’s a gem.
Im glad he could come out. Too bad that he couldn't be funny also.
I thought he came out, on The Breakfast Club, a few years ago. 🤷🏿♂️
I thought the same thing too
On his Home Videos special (which they talked about on the breakfast Club interview) he admitted to hooking up with guys in the past but never like “I’m a gay man and dont like women at all”
NOT "VANILLA KING"😭😭😭
Its crazy that he actually seems like and adult now , happy for bro
He delivers beautifully
This dude is funny.
Such an amazing and inspiring special...thank you for sharing Jerrod. Also, idk y, but "Look at the skin...of my vanilla king"...is hilarious. 😂😂😂
"The WHOLE time!?" Rofl😂
He look like Young Dolph 🐬😂
