The first image from Peacock's Bupkis has arrived, revealing Joe Pesci and Pete Davidson as grandfather and grandson in the upcoming comedy.
Pete Davidson and Joe Pesci appear together in first look images for Peacock’s new show Bupkis. Pete Davidson left his role as a Saturday Night Live cast member last season, after joining the show in 2014. Davidson got his start in standup comedy, but after joining SNL, the comedian took up several bigger acting roles, including leading his own films like King of Staten Island, which was produced and directed by Judd Apatow, Hulu’s Big Time Adolescence, and most recently, Meet Cute.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Shortly before Davidson's departure from SNL last May, Bupkis was given a straight-to-series order by Peacock. The series is set to closely follow Davidson’s life, with the comedian announced as a writer, star, and executive producer on the project, along with Lorne Michaels, the lead producer and creator of SNL. Judah Miller and David Sirus, who worked with Davidson on King of Staten Island, were also announced as writers for the show.
Everything We Know About Pete Davidson’s New Show Bupkis Bupkis, which means “nothing at all" in Yiddish, is already drawing comparisons to Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm for its witty comedy and plot development, but namely in that it will follow a fictionalized version of Davidson’s real life, and include an unfiltered worldview, which Davidson’s work often follows.
Davidson has proven he does well with the semi-autobiographical genre, as evidenced by The King of Staten Island's rave reception upon its 2020 release. Though not thoroughly based on himself, the film was written to closely reflect Davidson’s own life, namely the loss of his father and the strong effect it had on his adult life. Additionally, with co-stars like Pesci and Falco, Bupkis looks to have strong potential straight out of the gate.
