Jerrod Carmichael 8 Gets a Resounding Hell Yes From Tweeters
Last night, Jerrod Carmichael’s new special, 8, debuted on HBO.
Back when Jerrod recorded the special, there were some concerns and complaints from fans about being left in the cold too long, and possibly a lower-than-expectations performance at Carmichael’s second taping. But none of those concerns were evident in Carmichael’s final product, which aired late Saturday night, and fans were across the board, raving about the new hour, calling it hilarious and brilliant. And critics are happy too, with one outlet even calling it the best special of 2017 so far. Here are some of the highlights.
You can watch Jerrod Carmichael 8 exclusively on HBO Go, or HBO on Demand.
My husband was concernd that the new #JerrodCarmichael special on HBO wldnt be edgy since he's got a sitcom now. There was no need to worry.
