The episode is set to air on NBC, the network of The Cosby Show. “The episode is [about] the dilemma of any fan,” Carmichael tells EW. “And it’s a thing that I’ve found myself going through with Bill Cosby in my personal life, being a comedian and in the same industry and admiring him.

"We get away with murder!” The Carmichael Show star says of the special episode on the Cosby rape controversy, adding that The Cosby Show network did indeed set boundaries. "They did it with caution, wanting to protect the network but also knowing this could be good television and trusting me enough to get it the right way,” he said. Meanwhile, NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said of delving into the controversy, "you can’t be afraid of talking about things like that, as long as they’re handled correctly.”

Unlike social media, which tends to trumpet only one perspective (that Cosby is guilty), the NBC comedy let everybody have their point of view. "The show allows for everyone to have a bit of my stand-up,” says Carmichael. "It's sprinkled throughout the characters because it's a constant argument and it's all for the sake of exploration. It's all for analyzing any topic from all sides. I get to argue one thing onstage from one side and now it's all angles and responses, and it's rich. It's a rich argument."
