“I’ve done a lot of projects that reference my life because that’s kind of all I can do,” Pete said on stage, according to Variety.
“One of the things that sucks about that, though, is my family members, they often get to play themselves because of, you know, the low-budget situation. So, my mom is starting to think of herself as a real actress,” Pete jokingly continued.
“And that’s why it makes me extremely happy to get to introduce the woman who will be playing my mom — Edie Falco,” Pete said as Edie came out on stage.
“Finally, I get to play an overwhelmed mother of two living in a world of corruption. Except this time, it’s Staten Island,” Edie joked, referencing her role as Carmela Soprano in The Sopranos.
Bupkis was officially announced last month, and will follow Pete playing a “heightened, fictionalized” version of himself. Find out more about the show here!
