Dubbed as the second coming of “Seinfeld,” Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner play self-absorbed comedians who leave behind roadkill in their desperate attempts to gain fame. Best thing about them? They only have patience for each other.

Produced by Amy Poehler, the show is also pretty Jewish. How Jewish? Well, the trailer opens in a synagogue, there’s tons of hilarious Jewish guilt and a vocal hatred of all things Judaica.

Watch the trailer below and tune in to the new season July 12.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
