A hysterical, sometimes deeply uncomfortable, but beautifully blunt journey. .... In this “Rothaniel” follow-up, Carmichael has never seemed more confident. A master storyteller. .... Once again, the comedian has mastered the beauty of standing directly in his truth.
-
This hour feels like a reset. .... Getting to peer behind the proverbial curtain of fame and fortune (it’s quite something to hear a comedian reveal themselves to be a multimillionaire!) feels more special when the famous person isn’t dropping a lot of names, just truth bombs.

His new hour has more laughs per minute than his recent work, and his attention-getting premises, among them children’s funerals, aren’t as sad as you might think. But conventional stand-up alternates now with confessional long thoughts, about the details of being in an open relationship or the cultural meaning of D’Angelo. There’s more comedy in the former, and more freshness in the latter; still, he hasn’t entirely figured out how to fuse them.
