Awkward moments like this are the backbone for a lot of the comedy in Bupkis, which streams on Peacock and features the Saturday Night Live alum playing a fictionalized version of himself, stumbling through situations like a grownup comedy star with the attention span – and drug habits – of an at-risk teenager. This isn't the first time Davidson has tried to tell his life story on a bigger canvas; he played a more heavily fictionalized version of himself in the 2020 film The King of Staten Island. One of the series' most affecting episodes depicts Davidson as a kid, not long after the death of his father, attending the wedding of relatives and learning how adults pretend to have one set of values, but often live their lives in a different way.
