Bust Down

It's a lower end casino in Gary, Indiana. There are various workers in dead end jobs. Sam (Sam Jay) is a gay food worker. Chris (Chris Redd) is a valet. Langston (Langston Kerman) is a janitor. Jak (Jak Knight) is a stock boy. Chauncey (Freddie Gibbs) is the HR manager.

Lorne Michaels is the big name executive producer. This lasted one season for 6 episodes on Peacock. Chris Redd has a very recognizable face and been around SNL. I'm not sure about the others in the cast. Sam Jay seems to be more a writer and contributed on SNL. In fact, everybody seems to do a lot of writing. This is a different type of sitcom. I can see why they couldn't get on the big networks. It's black. It's some good low fun with brains. It has an edge that isn't on other shows. It doesn't always work, but the writing does not stop.
