If you haven't already, you're going to hear the name Jerrod Carmichael a lot. The talented young comic is a regular at LA comedy haunts like Meltdown, The Improv and Laugh Factory, and now he's coming to Austin to host the 2013 SXSW Film Awards. In addition to joining us in March, Jerrod is also headed to your TV, starring in The Goodwin Games on Fox, alongside Scott Foley and TJ Miller.
