Jerrod Carmichael Had a Crush on Tyler, the Creator, So He Invited the Rapper to the Emmy Awards

Comedian Jerrod Carmichael says he fell in love with his best friend, Tyler the Creator, in new show, 'The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show.'

As the episode counted down the days to the awards ceremony, Carmichael attempted to distract himself from the rapper’s lack of response to his invitation by going through a revolving door of Grindr hookups — some of which were even featured in the show. A couple days before the award ceremony, Tyler finally declined, leaving Carmichael to take a friend — who was identified as “anonymous” and shown wearing a ski mask and goggles — instead. In the episode, Carmichael said he feels especially comfortable in front of the camera, so airing out his childhood trauma and detailing his sex addiction on screen doesn’t bother him.
