"A comedian playing a comedian is hardly a new concept, but Pete Holmes is not a typical comedian. In this semiautobiographical HBO series, produced by Judd Apatow, Pete plays a wholesome evangelical Christian whose wife has just left him as he tries to make it in the not-at-all-wholesome world of New York comedy. Without a permanent place to live, he finds himself crashing in the homes of various comedians, so the series has a revolving door of guest stars like Sarah Silverman and Artie Lange playing themselves. If, like me, you wish you did stand-up comedy just so you could hang out with comedians, then you'll love this show. Holmes is also one of those people who manages to make just about anything funny." — NE
