First off, I love Jerrod Carmichael ever since I saw the pilot for The Carmichael Show. Personally, I think he and his sitcom were robbed of the recognition and the awards they deserved for the show.
Now, having said I wish he would’ve lost at the Emmys yesterday instead of winning Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special for Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel. What? How can you say that?
Before the show started, the comedian told Vanity Fair what would happen if he lost. “I want to make clear. I want to win. And I am not just happy to be nominated. That is a lie. That is like bullshit. I am only here to win,” he said. “And if I lose, I will leave immediately. Like there will be an empty seat at a table. I am a sore loser. I will not be a fair sport. And I will get the fuck out of here. I’ll be out here eating In’n’Out. If I lose, I will see you in the drive-thru.”
Could you imagine if he lost? Carmichael would’ve used P Diddy’s fur coat as a cape and flown out of there faster than you could’ve said Rothaniel. But he won an award, and we were robbed of the opportunity. Maybe next time…
