Pete Holmes is the latest comedian to create and star in a series based on his own life and career with HBOsCrashing.
However, Holmes found a way to keep the concept fresh and garnered rave reviews from the hosts of PENsBingeworthy.
In this clip, Jessica Shaw calls the series a comedians show, the same way one would call a comedian a comics comic.
She notes angst found in a show likeLouie, in which Louis C.K.s fictionalized version of himself struggles against the world, noting that Holmes has a more positive outlook.
