Early in his bold and vexing new reality show, Jerrod Carmichael hears a knock at the door and opens it to find a very tall man in a ski mask and goggles just standing there. But certain comedy fans would come to a different response: Welcome back, Bo Burnham. On “The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show” (HBO), this lanky masked man is referred to as Anonymous and his voice is disguised. But if this isn’t Bo Burnham, it’s a pretty good impression — or at least, one of him dressed to rob a bank. Except for “Inside” outtakes, he hasn’t shown up in any new work — until, possibly, now.
