They dig into Carmichael's work, including his deeply personal special "Rothaniel," his genre-bending documentary "The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show" (which he describes as a sitcom), and his latest special, "Don't Be Gay." The two of them talk about class in America, the fears that kept him closeted, the role of religion and spirituality in his life, and why standup must evolve or die.

Happy Pride - and happy listening. See less
