The show as hosted by Jerrod CarMichael. “I’ve got a question — do you want to talk about it? Aren’t you sick of talking about it? Isn’t it kind of crazy? It feels like I’ve been talking about it for so long.” Carmichael was right. We have been talking about it but seems like something new comes up about it each day.
“Can you believe it happened six days [ago]? … Doesn’t it feel like it happened years ago? Like, doesn’t it feel like it happened when we were all in high school?”
