i am happy to share the *news that NBC has renewed The Carmichael Show for a 3rd season. In case you haven't seen it The Carmichael Show is one of the funniest on network tv.
It is a fictionalized version of the life of stand-up Jarrod Carmichael and his family. Jarrod stars as Jarrod Carmichael. Amber Stevens West [real life daughter of radio personality Shadoe Stevens] as Maxine, Jarrod's girlfriend. Adorable Loretta Devine as his mom Cynthia. The always funny David Alan Grier as his dad Joe. Chicago stand-up Li'l Rel Howery as Jarrod's brother Bobby. And as Bobby's amiably outlandish wife Nekeisha [they're separated but still friends], triple threat [actress/commedienne/dancer] Tiffany Haddish.
The best thing about this show is it's lack of fear of subject matter. Some of the plots from it's 2nd season were the Bill Cosby scandal. Cyber bullying. social media: what's appropriate and not appropriate to post and who is deciding each. Marijuana: medicinal and recreational use. Racial/ethnic profiling---is it wrong or a crime deterrent? The battle of the sexes. Depression. These and other polarizing topics make up the show's plots and they're always presented in a provocative, but most importantly funny and entertaining way. There aren't many comedies that can make that claim and those that try usually aren't as adept as The Carmichael Show.
The Carmichael Show airs Sundays at 9PM ET on NBC [please check your local listings]
