Jerrod Carmichael Shares Where He Stands With Tyler, the Creator After Revealing His Crush to Him

The 'Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show' star revealed his feelings for the rapper in the premiere episode of his new series.

On the comedian's new HBO reality series, The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show, the 36-year-old takes viewers behind the scenes of his real life -- an often messy, emotional rollercoaster of a ride that includes his first real relationship as an out gay man, his struggle to be a less self-involved friend, and, most prominently, his relationship with his very religious mother and the father who raised him alongside a secret second family. Although the comedian said he was reluctant to broach the subject again due to the "fear of it being so totally unrequited," he later tried to make things less weird by asking Tyler to be his date for the 2022 Emmys, where his stand-up special Rothaniel was nominated. He expressed regret about their lack of contact, explaining that although he doesn't return any romantic feelings, he considers the comedian family.
