Jay Baruchel on FXX

A new comedy starring Jay Baruchel has been picked up for ten episodes on FXX. The series is called Man Seeking Woman and it is a "sweet and absurd look at the life-and-death stakes of dating." He plays Josh Greenberg alongside co-stars, Eric Andre, Britt Lower, and Maya Erskine. Lorne Michaels and author Simon Rich (whose book serves as the basis for the show) will both be executive producers with Rich serving as showrunner. Saturday Night Live and Portlandia director, Jonathan Krisel, has directed the pilot. Could be good. It will be interesting to see Jay in a capacity that is only him without the comforts of Seth Rogen and James Franco around him. I don't think I've seem him in anything besides This Is the End, so I will have to check it out.

  1. Hopefully it doesn't try as hard as that new Garfunkel and Oates show seems to be trying.
