Even so, his latest project, an eight-part docuseries titled “Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show,” is a startlingly open invitation into his post-closet life. The program, which showcases his high-rise New York apartment and features the hard-bodied comic in various states of undress, is a credit to exhibitionism. Carmichael has HBO’s cameras capture his day-to-day as he attempts to reconcile where he came from with who he aspires to be .
The director Ari Katcher achieves a careful balance between naturalism and narrative coherence, and eschews the genre’s glossy direct-to-camera confessionals altogether; Carmichael’s inner thoughts are conveyed instead through snippets of borderline-diaristic standup. “Reality Show” can be tremendously moving, but it’s just as often funny in the way that life is funny.
