The MAX original reality series Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show starred actor/comedian Jerrod Carmichael, focusing on his interactions with his family, friends and other people he encountered in his travels for his career. In interspersed cuts to his stand-up comedy, Jerrod discussed his trials related to coming out in his family, and finding connections within the gay community. The reality show did not shy away from his casual hook-ups with other men he connected with online, and their effects on his growing relationship with his boyfriend Mike. Jerrod provided insight into his therapy sessions, his thought processes, his Emmy win, and his weaknesses when it comes to relationships in his life. He invited cameras into his interactions and conflicts with his parents, Joe & Cynthia. Jerrod also used the series as a platform to share his romantic struggles, which were further exasperated by a long-distance relationship.
