Jerrod Carmichael: Don't Be Gay OTT Release Date - When and where to watch Emmy-winning comedian¡¯s HBO special

Jerrod Carmichael: Don't Be Gay OTT Release Date - If you saw Rothaniel and thought Jerrod Carmichael had already bared his soul, think again. The Emmy-winning comedian is back with Don¡¯t Be Gay, his fourth HBO stand-up special, and no, the title isn¡¯t clickbait. This one¡¯s a darkly funny, awkwardly honest, beautifully crafted mirror. Jerrod Carmichael: Don't Be Gay premieres May 24 on HBO and Max. Indian viewers can watch it on JioHotstar starting May 25.

What is Jerrod Carmichael: Don't Be Gay all about?

Let¡¯s get this out of the way: the title Don¡¯t Be Gay is a joke, but also? Not really. For Jerrod, it¡¯s the voice that¡¯s lived in his head since childhood. The quiet shame, the internal monologue, the cultural conditioning, and now, the punchline and the therapy session. It¡¯s a raw confessional wrapped in a sharp suit of humour. It's Carmichael letting you peek inside his thoughts as a Black, gay, rich, famous man trying to figure out what it means to be all those things at once and still feel okay.

Directed by Ari Katcher (who also helmed the painfully honest Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show), Don¡¯t Be Gay was shot in a single night in NYC.

What did Jerrod Carmichael talk about this time?

Think open relationships, Grindr, teenage porn habits or about how masculinity is just¡­ a weird costume sometimes. Think things most comedians wouldn¡¯t touch with a 10-foot pole, Carmichael walks straight through them barefoot. ¡°I hope it¡¯s funny. I hope you laugh,¡± he told Vanity Fair in an interview.

From Love at the Store (directed by Spike Lee), to 8 (helmed by Bo Burnham), to Rothaniel, Carmichael has always known how to shock and soothe in equal measure. But Don¡¯t Be Gay? This one¡¯s different, reflective, tired of hiding and ready to share, not explode. ¡°This is everything I¡¯ve learned in one place,¡± he says, adding, ¡°It¡¯s the culmination.¡±
