Star Search host Anthony Anderson is feeling a bit left out. He says that Jelly Roll and the other judges have been excluding him outside of filming.

Speaking with People, Anderson says that he found out Jelly Roll, Chrissy Teigen, and Sarah Michelle Gellar were hanging out outside of work. The reality TV show host admitted to feeling a bit bummed out that they didn't invite him to tag along.
"I thought we were all friends, you know, while we were doing press in person together. Then I find out that Sarah, Chrissy and Jelly, they've been off doing their own little things without me," Anderson said. "Sarah invited Jelly Roll to go to the gym with her, Chrissy's invited Jelly Roll to basketball games to see her son play."
However, it appears that Jelly Roll, Teigen, and Gellar share a separate bond since they're judges and Anderson is the host.
"Everybody has everybody's telephone number, but me. Then they're like, 'Well, Anthony, you're working. You're the host. We're the judges.' I was like, 'Don't hide behind that. Don't use that as an excuse.' I thought we were all best buds and pals. Apparently, we're not," Anderson said.
The actor laughed it off. But he apparently felt bothered enough to bring it up during an interview. Anderson is having the exact opposite experience compared to Jelly Roll
Jelly Roll Enjoys Time on the Show
Also speaking with the outlet, Jelly Roll praised all of his co-workers. He said he was surprised that everyone was so nice.
"I did not expect them to have my back the way they have," he said. "They have been supportive friends. I've been invited into their homes. I've hung out with their children. They've treated me like family from day one."
Jelly Roll had doubts about joining the show.
"Like we're going to bring a kid all the way from Tennessee, just dump him in this with a bunch of real A-list actors," he said. "We'll be friends forever."
Maybe next time they hang out they can shoot Anderson a text. I'm sure he would appreciate that.
