In the latest episode of Jerrod Carmichael: Reality Show, titled “Jamar,” the focus shifts to Carmichael’s friend and fellow stand-up comedian, Jamar Neighbors. Carmichael pushes Neighbors to confront his childhood traumas and incorporate them into his act, challenging Neighbors’ preference for an impersonal, joke-focused performance style.
The episode, airing on HBO on Friday, April 26, 2024, at 11.00 pm, is part of an eight-part documentary series that follows Carmichael’s life and his quest for love, sex, and connection.
“Jamar” looks into the complexities of Neighbors’ personal life and his resistance to using his traumatic past as material for his comedy. Neighbors, who is more comfortable with energetic, back-flipping performances, finds himself at a crossroads as he considers adopting Carmichael’s more personal approach.
The series, directed by Ari Katcher, offers a unique blend of documentary-style footage, Carmichael’s self-recorded videos, and scenes from his stand-up performances. It provides an intimate look into Carmichael’s life, including his relationships with friends, family, and strangers.
