“I’m funny how?”
Joe Pesci will costar with Pete Davidson in the comedian’s upcoming streaming series on Peacock, “Bupkis.”
Sources exclusively told Page Six that the “Goodfellas” legend, 79, was spotted with Davidson at Los Angeles celebrity haunt, San Vicente Bungalows, last week having dinner with the show’s exec producer Lorne Michaels and Edie Falco.
Pesci has now officially signed on to star in the show, which will be Davidson’s first TV project since stepping down from “Saturday Night Live” after eight years on the famed NBC show.
“The Sopranos” favorite Falco, 59, will star as Davidson’s mom, with Pesci as the comic’s grandfather.
It marks Pesci’s first series and a return to TV — after he starred in an obscure 1985 ABC detective movie called “Half Nelson.” He’s better known for his film roles in “Raging Bull,” “The Irishman,” “Home Alone” and “My Cousin Vinny.”
The half-hour live comedy show is described as a “heightened, fictionalized version” of Staten Island native Davidson’s real life. A press release for the show says it will, “combine grounded storytelling with absurd elements from the unfiltered and completely original worldview for which Pete is well known.”
It’s unclear if the show will cover his life as one of Hollywood’s most unlikely Lotharios. Davidson has inexplicably been romantically linked to Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Margaret Qualley, Kate Beckinsale and Phoebe Dynevor.
Davidson, 28, famously lived with his mom while starring on “SNL,” until he moved into his own high-end condo, which was famously visited by the likes of his ex-girlfriend, Kardashian, and Miley Cyrus after she hosted “SNL.”
He’d once said of cohabitating with his mother on “The Tonight Show”: “We bought a house together, but nobody believes that… I live with my mom, kind of, so I have like a basement that’s like mine that’s like an apartment, so I live underneath her, so I’m getting like a little arcade set up down there trying to make it … mine.”
Davidson is also co-writing the show, with Dave Sirus and Judah Miller.
He previously starred in the Judd Apatow film, “The King of Staten Island” — which was also autobiographical — but it seems that Hollywood isn’t tired of Davidson’s story.
