That hug was beautiful. I think Jerrod really needed it. ❤️

[@kevinj.harrellmphches1420]

I agree. Trevor Noah seems to genuinely care about him.

[@marklouis1890]

Hugs are very powerful and therapeutic

[@bryanhunnicutt7811]

Did you hear the response of the audience when Jerrod acknowledged " such a nice warm hug"... they (and me) felt an emotional release and felt it deeply.

[@jeromelubabalojacobs8872]

To be hugged by another black man in your profession when the fear is rejection must be cathartic.

[@ndo533]

One of the bravest things a black man can do in this world is be himself. Wholeheartedly. 100%. Happy for his enlightenment, growth, and overall joy

[@lcola259]

Beautifully said. I completely agree 💯

[@KH-wx4sj]

Word

[@no1onu2be19]

💯

[@keithallen8693]

Fact. Full stop.

[@batirtzeurkiaga1716]

I see what you mean. It's kind of sad though..... But true.💕💕💕💕💕

[@laalaa99stl]

Killed it on SNL. One of the best of the season so far. I'm glad he's feeling more comfortable in his own skin and hope the rest of his family comes around just as his niece did.

[@ufga8tor99]

He absolutely had the best snl episode, and an amazing special, he’s a amazing comedian

[@picklefina]

Agreed. He was amazing.

[@beyondthepaleasmr8097]

His opening monolog on SNL was fire but some of the sketches were just ok. I have loved him since the carmichael show and and so happy for him.

[@tracyevettebarnes]

You must not have seen Jason Sedakus episode? That isht was funny

[@jeffreyfair5600]

..the doll was the best skit "...any doll maker would know that.."😅😅😅

[@teammmx]

He’s one of those comedians that are genius. He’s intellectual with his comedy and emotionally deep. He’s an incredible storyteller and I’m proud that he’s able to finally say who he is. He makes me want to be my full self as well. It’s not easy! As he explains so perfectly.

[@dianemalloy2890]

I agree and his opening monologue was awesome! He has great timing and delivery. It's really the best I've seen and I've been watching SNL from their beginning.

[@Vejur9000]

He is.

[@TheAraby212]

Bruh… it’s not easy is a whole mood

Where is this from? It is absolutely beautiful

[@jjbeans2618]

@@portraitofalady_ thanks for replying🙂

[@Biotoze]

So happy for Jerrod. You can tell he is becoming more comfortable in himself. Truly unlocking himself. Killing it

[@marklouis1890]

Agreed and I love that's he's comfortable in his own skin and can stand in his truth

[@Stacey_Mae]

So many wonderful opportunities will come his way

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Trevor is such a wonderful host. He is so warm. Respect.

[@kl.8992]

I’ve been following Jerrod through this whole press circuit; love this man. Hope he continues to get the healing he needs.

[@quidrango]

Jerrod is a top tier comedian and storyteller. Looking forward to seeing his career continue to blossom

[@mashdenny]

That was such a warm hug

[@kingmonde]

True friends

[@Soul-cry1]

He really wanted that hug for a different more exciting reason...

[@cynthiarodgers3896]

“You can’t give someone a full hug if you’re concealing something.”

[@brownkemosabe]

Rothaniel was magnificent. I've been a fan since Carmichael Show. So happy for Jerrod!

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Same. I want to watch Rothaniel again. Just so powerful.

[@helloxonsfan]

Same here... I've also been a long-time fan of Jerrod... & that special was truly funny & brilliant...!!! ...BTW... did he ever get his $85,000...??? Only those who've seen the special will get that joke... (LOL) 😂

[@Stacey_Mae]

The Carmichael Show was phenomenal

[@TeeJay-yr8vx]

It was brilliant!!!! I've watched 3x

[@mbizozo6271]

Trevor and Colbert have this thing of just getting the most out of their guests. Need to watch this special.🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@valeriebumblebee7607]

You have to watch it! It is truly magnificent and a once in a lifetime experience.

[@inesmachadocasamentos2828]

I just commented something like this, feel exactly the same !

[@binoymathew246]

He's definitely feeling vulnerable. But he's real. Wishing him more success in his future endeavours.

[@Samantha_Lauren]

The more I see of Jerrod, the more I adore him

[@thandiwemaziya9606]

I love him,he is so funny. That hug speaks volumes. It says I see you and I still love YOU

[@user-hc6dh5sw4w]

I am just appreciative of the time and patience Trevor gives to his guests to express themselves. Its amazing to see

[@thatguyyousawthatonetime]

I just watched Rothaniel, and for me, it was one of the greatest standups I've ever seen. Perfect blend of realness and hilarity, EXTREMELY relatable, instant classic in my view.

[@TM-rk5dj]

Hoping Jerrod’s family comes around. He’s a lovely talented young man who should be accepted and loved for who he is. ✌️

[@nugboy420]

I love his nervous chuckles. You will get there buddy. I can tell you love yourself and want yourself to be the best you can. Don’t be upset about it.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I loved how the audience in the special starts asking him questions and interacting in a kind and very human way.

[@bucsr.6106]

Please just love us the way we are. That is all anyone needs.

[@Ldytellis]

The charmichael show was where I first saw Jerrod. Loved the show and how it handled issues. Made me so mad when they cancelled it. So glad to see him and am impressed still. Keep it up! Being real is so important “in these sensitive times” .

[@theronedawson3236]

I feel you. They need to bring it back.

[@michaelcar9268]

I think he stopped it on his own from what I recall

[@kikicinza]

I love how inviting his special is. I too, was thoroughly engrossed, empathetic, and committed…and all I was expecting was a few laughs. He gave us masterpiece instead.

[@Krisha158]

Such a genuine conversation. Honestly love his vulnerability.

[@Nickee_Sonicjinn]

I love these two men’s heartfelt conversation so much! Sending lots of love to you both from Seoul. We sensible Korean people are in great pain and are losing appetite because of the unqualified new elect Yoon, and Mr. CarMicheal and Trevor Noah made me smile with their warm and witty talk. I’m gonna check Rothaniel, definitely.

[@ansapo]

Loved him on SNL. The most cohesive and talented host in ages. The special is a total 180 from this. Like a therapy session. Very real and raw. I hadn't heard about Jerrod Carmichael until last weekend and now I'm keeping my eyes wide open for him.

[@SnoozeAddict]

Same! I'm like where has he been because I am here to support his career! 🎉

[@Free420Love]

Go watch his interview with Seth Meyers from a week or so ago, it’s fantastic too.

[@dianemalloy2890]

His opening monologue on SNL was stellar performance perfect timing and delivery.

[@cv8499]

As the kids say, this comment section passed the vibe check. 👍🏽 So happy for Jerrod. Really hope his family comes around.

[@celestialnubian]

This is great. I also want a podcast or event where Jerrod Carmichael and Donald Glover have a convo.

[@alyssajohnson5803]

I watched the special because of this interview. Jerrod did an amazing job. The mixture of jokes and real life emotions was raw. I hope for the best with him and his mom.

[@chillbest14]

Telling you all his specials are super hilarious

[@mlggamer5296]

I like how friendly they got like immediately when they were introducing him.

[@magzmoney]

I LOVE these two men. ❤️

[@thandekamaziya3748]

I've been waiting for this chat for the whole day and it was beautiful Trevor know how to bring out the bet in people he talks to and Jerrod is such a gem.... Thank you in all the recent interviews Jerrod has done for his special this was the best one thats why i call it a chat because it felt that way jut old friends catching up

[@itohanegherawson5324]

I see Jerrod, I click... Periodt!!!

[@thandondlovu5392]

Same

[@quijamesata1077]

I just want to give Carmichael a hug 💜💜💜 it seems to me he’s hurting. My mommy heart just can’t understand how do you not embrace your child for who he is?

[@rkms5606]

He sends so much happier and at peace. I'm happy for him.

[@kufekisavictormuchende1982]

That hug😂

[@peachesandpoets]

Rothaniel was amazing. Its funny, I'd heard him before on specials and in interviews and I found him funny but something didn't stick. Secrets are so loud sometimes but one can't tell what's being hidden. I'm so happy for him. I'm so sad about how his family is choosing nonsense over loving their baby. I hope he has a kind circle of friends.

[@chisangafilm2291]

I REALLY like watching Jerrod's interviews lately.

[@lw7379]

He is so vulnerable and likeable, I wish him alllll the kindness and care in the world 🤗💞💞💞💞.

[@rmagidi5832]

Just watched the special, such a vulnerable and authentic piece. More lessons learned than a classroom

[@LEM19284]

The conversation in the hug. I’m here only for that!

[@LindaMitchell]

It's inspiring to see someone stand in their truth like Jerrod Carmichael. I hope the relationship with members of his family heals and they come around to seeing that his sexuality doesn't change their love for him.

[@Stacey_Mae]

This guy is amazing. My household loves him

[@girlgreenivy]

Nice to see him back with another stand up project. Glad he no longer feels the need to hide that part of himself.

[@albo3323]

Nieces are the best. Biggups to his niece

[@Ninkopi]

this guy is so raw and genuine. i love him

[@Native-Kitty]

Jerrod’s latest standup special “Rothaniel” was gold! It was hilarious with great storytelling while interacting with the audience.

[@joanwandegi8565]

Didn't think it was possible to love Jarrod more...clearly I was wrong! Such courage and what an amazing human...so happy for you Jarrod and thanks for all the laughs. Keep doing you, you inspired human you 💯🙏🏾❤

[@aceleaf]

Jerrod is best spell out comedy. He knows how to deliver. Liked his approach.

[@Stacey_Mae]

His special is a must see. It will not disappoint

[@traceyhunterabbate4105]

Loved the hug. Thank you

[@wins.8073]

I'm so sorry for your pain my bro, but I marvel at the bravery it took to stand in your truth no matter what. You are an amazing human being. Period. 💪🏾

[@yuvashreeharidoss7496]

I cried so much , because I can visibly see the pain he's during through all of this fame and growth in his profession

[@laurenhall2131]

His special was so raw and vulnerable and I applaud you Ro!

[@fitnessfortheculture]

Awww. First of all Rothaniel I was trying to Google about your upcoming show on HBO max and came across this interview. I really hope things are better with your family. You’re super dope and I absolutely love the Carmichael show, it’s literally one of my go TV shows.

[@kenny077]

Seems like a beautiful guy inside and out!

[@imani1023]

I loved the special and so happy for him

[@meredithvillafana4270]

What a beautiful soul! I hope that he is ok and he knows that he is accepted by many. Wishing him the absolute best!

[@Msjoli]

I love Jerrod ❤ such a great performance. His special will go down in history

[@scyofstate]

I want a niece. Was a fan of Jerrod before his show. Now when I watch his older standup, he was, in essence, coming out all along...Brilliant 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

[@perrious4980]

Jerrod! I'm such a huge fan. I'm such a huge fan

[@BrownEyeZo3]

It was an AMAZING special.

[@stylebybbm6759]

That was a typical warm SA🇿🇦hug❤️ so genuine. I can feel their friendship 🙏🏿

[@karenmichael3130]

That hug meeeeeeeen very very warm.

[@rdeloss]

This new special is phenomenal. 🙏🏽

[@Bella-mx7rl]

Jerrod's recent interviews are so heavy. I hope he finds the love and acceptance he's craving from his family. If not, I pray he can make peace with that. His HBO special was absolutely beautiful though. I'm happy he found the courage to do it in that way.

[@mahed5807]

I loved the Carmichael Show!

[@wyteriawilson4007]

So happy to see people from my hometown make it!!

[@coltoncolton2822]

What an amazing guy ❤️. I relate to him so much. Still, I couldn't really finish the special as it hit to close to home... gave me major anxiety. But my goal now is to finish it and not feel that way...

[@lauraz3580]

Completely off topic, Trevor's fashion game is on point! A colored shirt and an expensive looking tie looks great! About dang time! He always wore white dress shirts and boring ties before the pandemic began. I am liking this new look!

[@KCNwokoye]

I'm glad he's doing a live show again.

[@manfran1]

I won't spoil it, but your take on two men being together is the best thing I've ever heard on the subject. :-D

[@PrincessA-eu5xy]

So happy for him ❤🎉😊 I’m not crying 😭

[@unbotheredbklyn2789]

Rothaniel....you have a beautiful smile.❤❤

[@trident065]

Trevor( hugging Jerrod tightly mumbling softly) : I always knew. Can I get some tonight?

[@Legoattempt2000s]

"...any doll maker would know that..." My favorite skit

[@teebina5537]

I love him.

[@joonyaboonya]

I would love to be in the room where Jerrod and Seth Rogan are laughing together.

[@kingmonde]

Lol.

[@nique413]

My two favorite intelligent human beings! 🥰

[@this_is_jmdub]

I love this guy

[@Vejur9000]

He’s brilliant.

[@m1k1254]

*hugs*

[@janellemccoy09]

I wanna give mom hugs

[@marklouis1890]

I want to hear more of his comedy shows

[@pearloliver-spencer264]

Love it...🤗😊🥰

[@TheLaserCookie]

such a beautiful soul

[@helloxonsfan]

I've been a long-time fan of Jerrod... & that special was truly funny & brilliant...!!! ...BTW... did he ever get his $85,000...??? Only those who've seen the special will get that joke... (LOL) 😂

[@inesmachadocasamentos2828]

Trevor is a real one, him and Stephen Colbert are the interviewers that you can feel make the space for raw vulnerability

[@zachshoup7310]

i love him sm

[@devinronready7671]

I’ve none this dude for a very long time. He’s really changed a lot.

[@Casualgamer766]

This dude just said something I said few months ago when he made the example of a person hugging you with one hand behind their backs I thought I came up with that mine was a bit different but one hand at the back was the point and here I’m watching another person saying it😲😲😲 Looks like we are all humans and we all have same ideas maybe slightly different but same point

[@FuryoMusume]

LOVE YOU Jerrod

[@Abetterphiladelphia]

I’m obsessed with him

[@nthabelengkay900]

His smile seems so happy, idk if that makes sense

[@sabrinathompson9605]

Congratulations on your Emmey Award.

[@shambramulder4082]

I loved and would like everyone will watch it and do better!

[@randyjones4452]

I would like to know who inspired him to do a whole hour sitting down? Not many comics have done that
