Comedy series debuts May 4 on Peacock
You may want to curb your enthusiasm—but then again, maybe not. Co-created by and starring Pete Davidson, Bupkis finds the former SNL star playing a heightened and fictionalized version of himself. (It's the role every comedian was born to play in a TV series.) Edie Falco also stars as Davidson's mother while Joe Pesci—in not just a rare TV role (he has one previous small screen credit in the 1980s), but a rare role of any kind—plays his grandfather. Guest stars include Ray Romano, Brad Garrett, John Mulaney, Steve Buscemi, Bobby Cannavale, Jon Stewart, Method Man, Charlie Day, Kenan Thompson, Chase Sui Wonders, Simon Rex, and even Al Gore for good measure. All eight episodes are available to stream on day one.
