The joke is on Pete Davidson in first Bupkis trailer
Pete Davidson's new semi-autobiographical Bupkis, premiering on Peacock May 4, gets a star-studded first trailer
When you envisioned Pete Davidson’s Bupkis, did you picture the world’s most-talked about comedian dancing around dirty and bloodied, or wielding a variety of deadly weapons? Perhaps not, but that’s the tone of the first trailer for Davidson’s Peacock series, premiering on May 4. This show seems to be approaching half-hour comedy in the way some other auteurs have been manipulating the form of late, which is to say that it might indeed be funny but is also kind of intense.
Much has been written about how Davidson’s semi-autobiographical comedy about living with his mom was already made (back in my day, it was called The King Of Staten Island and it was directed by Judd Apatow). But this version has a little more edge, and also Joe Pesci, who can be found toking up with his on-screen grandson in the new footage. Plus, there’s his new on-screen mom, Edie Falco, who admonishes her son “Peter” for stealing Dave’s “klingon sword.”
