Pete Davidson may be known for playing wacky and goofy characters on the popular late-night sketch show Saturday Night Life, but he is now putting his life on the small screen in his new semi-autobiographical comedy series, Bupkis.

Developed alongside his friends and creative partners Judah Miller and Dave Sirus, Bupkis follows a heightened and fictionalized version of Davidson as he attempts to work through unique family dynamic and the complexities of fame to form meaningful relationships. In addition to Davidson, the raw and heartfelt series stars Edie Falco as his doting mother, Joe Pesci as his eccentric grandfather, and a slew of big name Hollywood figures playing everything from extended family members to alternate versions of themselves in hilarious cameos.

Straddling between reality and absurdity, and now streaming on Peacock, Bupkis best represents what it is to be Pete Davidson.
