Jerrod Carmichael just won an Emmy. 'He might’ve started 'Rothaniel' walking a tightrope, but he ends it by steering himself to solid ground,' carolineframke wrote of his special. Read the full review:
stays close on Carmichael’s face, the comedian doesn’t exactly smile, nor heave some obvious sigh of relief. But he does absorb the reaction: tentatively, at first, until he shifts into an even slightly more comfortable position he can assume until leaving on his own terms.,” which premiered April 1 on HBO, Carmichael walks an astonishingly difficult tightrope between the fraught past and present to, he hopes, a more hopeful future.
“Rothaniel” opens with Carmichael walking into New York City’s Blue Note jazz club as if he’s just another patron until he walks past all the tables to take his seat onstage. The venue choice is small and shadowed, which makes it perfectly suited to the set Carmichael’s about to deliver and the way in which Burnham chooses to film it. Carmichael sits on a low stool, encircled by a bright spotlight on a stage otherwise awash in blue.
One of the hour’s best punchlines, for instance, comes out of Carmichael solemnly affirming his support for “the Black family” to the audience’s audible approval. “It’s important to say this,” he says, in a tight shot denoting sincerity. “I believe that Black men should marry Black women and have Black babies, and raise them to be smart, good citizens.
