Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Prior to both, a preview feature by Variety, shares that Carmichael reveals he is gay in the standup special.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Taped in February at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City, the show sees the star unpack his complex family history – and uniquely weaving in his coming out story.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Fresh from detailing how he caught his father cheating, he went on to say:
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)“After that was out in the open, I was left alone feeling like a liar, because I had a secret. One that I kept from my father, my mother, my family, my friends, and you. Professionally, personally. And the secret is that I’m gay.”

When the audience clapped in support, Carmichael added:
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)“I’m accepting the love, I really appreciate the love. My ego wants to rebel against it. I rebelled against it my whole life. I thought I’d never, ever come out. At many points I thought I’d rather die than confront the truth of that, to actually say it to people. Because I know it changes some people’s perceptions of me. I can’t control that.”

Interestingly, it’s not the first time the 34-year-old has spoken about his sexuality.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)As reported, in 2019 he seized on his then-new standup special to detail a conversion with his mother, in which he told he had “hooked up with dudes before.”
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)In ‘Rothaniel,’ the funnyman candidly updates that his relationship with his mom has been challenging since, but he is hopeful: “As much as she believes in God, I believe in personal growth and feeling free. And I do feel freer.”

Never heard of him but watch this boost his career to sights he’s never seen. THE GAY AGENDA!!!
AMEN!
There is no GAY AGENDA.
Gay Ppl have been around since the Biblical era. Certain laws FORCED them underground but they never disappeared.
The world is PREDOMINANTLY Heterosexual but a gay impact exist because societies for whatever reason gravitate toward ART inspired by Gays.
Sure, gay artists always existed, but exploiting your sexuality for monetary gain, that’s pretty new. Lil Nas X would never have had the kind of career he has before the 2010s.
It’s Heterosexual Men/Women whom are ALWAYS asking celebrities about their Sexuality even when there is no intention of them coming out.
LNX is the exception since his sexuality was never questioned. He exploited Homosexuality solely for shock value to follow up the success of “Old Town Road”.
There is certainly an agenda. There’s one thing to fight for acceptance, another to bully and force homosexuality down our throats. The latter is what’s going on right now. The LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ is the biggest mafia. They’re nothing but a bunch of mean spirited bullies; particularly the men and transwomen.
@Darling
That’s the thing, they are NOT only fighting for acceptance…They are also fighting to prevent certain Ppl from RE-Introducing Anti-Gays LAWS once again.
Darling is a DUMB NI*GGER. I love black people, but I hate N*GGERs. That’s what the great Chris Rock said.
We see you Shayla 👀👀👀
So touching! I love to see more Black men came out.
Newsflash: you can believe in God and still suck d*** as a gay
But congrats tho 👏
So what! You know those Mormon missionaries are always horny. Diva was even partying with those school boys in church💅🏾 They felt so guilty aftermath😂🤣😂🤣
Emile Sandé came out as q**** today as well.
Wait? So he came out twice then? Sir u can’t do that! There are rules lol #attentionwhore
I loved The Carmichael Show. I will tune in to his special. Hope it’s funny like the show was…
Another f****** f*****. The world is going to hell in a hand basket!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
It’s one thing to sin, another to be an ABOMINATION!!!
Lips that lie are an abomination as well. You girls really think u be doing something lol
You won’t see Heaven! GOD HATES F@GSSSS!! Unclean abominations!!
God does not hate F*ggs, he hate N*GGERS, that’s why he lets yall be shot in the streets by holy, jesus-loving white cops. Dirty f’n shytskins attacking whyte people and claiming victim.
I will hang five of you from a tree to make Mississippi Wind Chimes…
How does that language feel? Does it hurt? Black church folk can’t stop attacking gays, white and black. that’s why we all hate you and laugh at your dead bodies in the streets..
How are you enjoying the plague A/I/D/S bloody b*** f*****??? REPENT!!!

If Jesus loved me, he’d swallow….
He always spits…
For some reason, I thought he came out years ago. I guess my spidey sense was tingle watching the CarMichael show.
Never heard of him!
Black men… SMH
Already the bottom (no pun intended) of the totem pole. Highly violent criminals and sexual deviant f****** who offer nothing to the community at large. LOSERS!
Do better black men!
Die in the street and take NiggyMinaj with you..
Love this guy! He’s the coolness. I already knew about this. I hope all is well his way. I want more of the Carmichael Show!❤️❤️❤️❤️
That gay agenda is going down with Disney, just watch and enjoy the show.
He came out years ago. So why again and why now? Who cares ? It’s not like he is a huge star
