Pete Holmes

Exec producer Brian d'Arcy James explains how, and why, he got involved with CBS comedy.

“It’s a story of hope and a story of encouraging others to do and be their best,” he said. “He does a great job of being the Everyguy you want to root for,” he said. “You want him to win.” “But I love it.” The show is based on Tom Smallwood, who lost his assembly-line job and went on to become a professional bowler. I have roots in Saginaw.”

How We Roll's Tom Smallwood (Pete Holmes) was born to bowl. “When you came out of the womb, I bet 10 doctors fell down,” proclaims Archie (Chi McBride), ...

“You don’t want people saying, ‘Why is he bowling it between his legs?’” “The emphasis was almost 100 percent on just not embarrassing myself,” he says.

"Whatever they were looking for to happen, didn't happen," Holmes says with a laugh. "If you come up to me and say you love The Pete Holmes Show, there's a special place in my heart for you. So in that sense, it was a huge success." (Holmes divorced his first wife when he was 28, and remarried in 2017, when he was 38.) "The Pete Holmes Show was specifically the point of view of a guy looking for love and some sort of stability. "I got the call, I grabbed the bag, I went to the airport, all the while being like, 'This is it! With the idea for Crashing in mind, "I flew to New York just to pitch it to [Apatow]," Holmes says.

I flew to New York to pitch on one of the sets of Trainwreck, and I think even during the meeting, he was like, 'You didn't fly out here just for this?' I was like, 'Oh, no. "He decides to try his hand at the only other thing he's good at, which is very similar to me with comedy," Holmes tells EW. "I hope what hooks people into the show is the feeling of that risk, when you're putting everything on the line to try and pursue a dream. "That was not just a dream, but literally the dream," Holmes says of his acclaimed, semi-autobiographical sitcom, which counted Judd Apatow as an executive producer.
