'When I First Saw the Show, I Was Furious'
Briefly

Carmichael recalls invaluable advice from Jamar Neighbors to 'slow down a little bit' in his comedy. Despite reservations, Carmichael undertakes an on-camera experiment to help Neighbors refine his style.
Carmichael pushes Neighbors to address personal demons like his unknown father and upbringing in foster care, aiming for confessional comedy over hard punchlines. The experiment involves therapy and confronting family.
Neighbors struggles during the performances, panicking after calling his mom to ask about his father. The shows, despite some interesting concepts, seem to not go well.
Carmichael and Neighbors' friendship of over 15 years is tested as they delve into personal and professional dynamics. They explore themes like Carmichael's public coming out and their different comedy philosophies.
