Jerrod Carmichael Returns
Jerrod Carmichael (Don’t Be Gay, Rothaniel, Poor Things) is an Emmy Award-winning comedian and actor. Jerrod joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the fascination with pushing our appearance to the absolute extreme, fans noticing he fixed his teeth between seasons of his sitcom, and tackling the burden of self-awareness in his new special. Jerrod and Dax talk about toeing the line between identity performance and authenticity, celebrating the achievements of human beings not despite but because of their imperfections, and his belief that everyone is in the closet about something. Jerrod explains striving in his recent work to be as introspective as he used to be guarded, the interesting knowledge and wisdom that can be shared as artists age, and why he really hopes we don’t lose our curiosity about one another.
