On Oct. 4th at 10PM, HBO will not only be airing the first special from the hysterical Jerrod Carmichael, but they will be actually airing the very first stand-up performance from Jerrod on TV ever.

It’s amazing that Jerrod will be make his televised stand-up debut on an HBO special presented by Funny or Die and there’s a very good reason for that. What we saw at the taping is what we’ve seen here in LA for years with Carmichael having such an ease and command of the stage at the same time, delivering his hard hitting jokes a relaxed subtlety. 

Here’s a promo for the special titled Love at The Store, taped live at The Comedy Store, directed by Spike Lee.
