Get ready for a New Year’s Eve cringe-fest as “Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains” returns with a special dedicated to the most awkward, embarrassing moments of celebrity adolescence. This isn’t your typical New Year’s countdown; this is a countdown to the most mortifying memories of teenagehood, courtesy of some familiar faces.

Comedian Jon Richardson bravely offers a guided tour of his teenage bedroom—a space likely preserved in all its awkward glory. Prepare for a blast from the past as Vicky Pattison dusts off her favorite 90s dance moves, moves we all probably tried (and failed) to master. Loyiso Gola, meanwhile, will share stories of his less-than-illustrious rap career.

Presiding over this parade of teenage humiliation is Rhod Gilbert, who acts as both host and judge, tasked with crowning the celebrity with the most embarrassing past. The episode will undoubtedly be filled with tales of nerdy obsessions, ill-fated crushes, and questionable fashion choices, all set against the backdrop of those uniquely awkward school days.

“Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains New Year’s Special” airs Monday, December 30, 2024, at 9:00 PM on Comedy Central.
