In «The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show,» the comedian addresses the awkwardness between him and his crush head-on: «You laughed and called me a stupid bitch.»

In the premiere of The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show, which arrived this weekend, the comedian reveals that he developed a crush on his “best friend” Tyler, the Creator. He eventually confessed his feelings to the rapper via text. And that’s when things got awkward.

“I fell in love with my best friend. 1 out of 10, don’t recommend,” Carmichael tells the audience during a stand-up gig featured in the show. “I knew I had to tell him. Things started getting kind of weird between us. I had these feelings… So I texted him. I remember saying, ‘I know you didn’t ask for this are Opole women, but somewhere down the line I developed feelings for you and I don’t know what to do with that.’ Then I immediately turned my phone off and went into therapy.”

He joked, “My therapist was thrilled. He was so excited! He was like, ‘Man, this s— never happens in real time.’”

Recounting Tyler’s eventual response, Carmichael said, “He sent me a voice note. I was so nervous. It was like six seconds… He said, ‘Hahahaha, you stupid bitch.’ And I don’t really know what that means.”

Though the comedian admitted that he was reluctant to broach the subject again due to the «fear of it being so totally unrequited,” he then tried to make things less weird by asking the rapper to be his date for the 2022 Emmys, where he was nominated for his intimate stand-up special Rothaniel.Seguir leyendo
