Pete Davidson Turns His Life, Fame and Chaos Into a Satirical Sitcom in the Trailer for 'Bupkis'

When you've made a movie fictionalising your life, played yourself in it and managed to get Marissa Tomei as your mother, what comes next? After The King of Staten Island, Pete Davidson goes for another arrested development-fuelled comedy, this time in sitcom form. The show: Bupkis, the comedian's latest project following his departure from Saturday Night Live — once again riffing on star's own life, and this time enlisting the one and only Joe Pesci, Tomei's My Cousin Vinny co-star, as his grandfather.

Arriving on Binge on Thursday, May 4, this may be Davidson's show — indeed, as the just-dropped trailer demonstrates, it pokes plenty of fun at his life, fame and chaos — but having Pesci among the cast is no minor feat. Since 2010, the iconic Goodfellas, Casino and Raging Bull actor (and Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York talent as well) has exactly two on-screen appearances to his name: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman and now Bupkis.

Well played, Pesci — if most of us could only roll out of bed for Martin Scorsese and Pete Davidson, we would. In Bupkis, Pesci plays the father of Davidson's mother Amy, which gives the series another tie to a great of the gangster genre: The Sopranos' Edie Falco.

From there, the names keep on coming, with guest stars including It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Charlie Day, Red Rocket's Simon Rex, Everybody Loves Raymond's Brad Garrett and Ray Romano, Bodies Bodies Bodies' Chase Sui Wonders, SNL's Kenan Thompson, Miracle Workers' Steve Buscemi, Nine Perfect Strangers' Bobby Cannavale, Black Bird's Paul Walter Hauser, Machine Gun Kelly, Jon Stewart, John Mulaney, Al Gore and Method Man. With Day, Garrett and Romano popping up, clearly Davidson likes TV comedies as much as he likes mobster fare — although It's Always Sunny and Everybody Loves Raymond couldn't be further apart.

Across eight episodes, Davidson and all that high-profile help will navigate another semi-autobiographical attempt to grapple with celebrity, everything it brings, keeping family ties healthy — and Davidson in general — and trying to forge meaningful bonds.

Getting chased by the paparazzi, wielding a glave, life advice from Pesci, looking after a kid, movie stunts, guns and cars, Googling himself, Gore flashing the Wu-Tang hands: they're all included as well.
