Everybody’s favorite tuna-loving odd couple Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland will make their Netflix debut this upcoming Tuesday, June 13. Get a tiny taste of what’s to come with this newly-dropped trailer for Oh Hello on Broadway, which hit YouTube earlier this week, courtesy of the streaming giant-turned all-things-comedy-hub.
The cantakerous Faizon (Nick Kroll) and St. Geegland (John Mulaney), who quickly became a hit in New York, will soon bring their crotchety old man routine to the rest of the world with their special’s forthcoming release on Netflix next week. See them talk slices, fountain soda and Hamilton, the lattermost which George can be heard declaring as the one and only noteworthy example of modern theater.
Gil and George first appeared on Kroll Show but have also found their way onto the stage in episodes of Late Night with Seth Meyers, Comedy Bang! Bang! and Conan. The duo made their Off Broadway debut in Oh, Hello at The Cherry Lane Theatre in New York’s Greenwich Village in December of 2015 and, due to the success of the production, proceeded with a Broadway run at the Lyceum Theatre that ultimately broke the venue’s box office record.
The two-man show saw a number of guest stars — Will Forte, Lauren Benanti, Bobby Cannavale, Alan Alda, Natasha Lyonne, Seth Rogen, Adam Horovitz, Tina Fey, Seth Meyers, Rebel Wilson, Josh Groban, Aziz Ansari, Stephen Colbert and more — throughout its run on and off Broadway and thus the resulting Netflix special Oh Hello on Broadway is expected to feature a surprise appearance.
Oh, Hello on Broadway, directed by Michael John Warren, premieres this Tuesday only on Netflix… which means you’d better start preparing your tuna fish sandwiches now!
