This Week In Comedy: Everybody's In LA writer & My Momma Told Me podcast co-host Langston Kerman makes his Netflix debut with his new comedy special, Bad Poetry, premiering this Tuesday. The new hour was directed by fellow comedian & collaborator John Mulaney (making this his overall directorial debut). In Bad Poetry, Kerman "talks parenting a top-tier baby, teaching mean teens and managing his mother-in-law's dating apps."

Then on Thursday & Friday this week: Netflix continues its lead with this week's comedy programming with Leia Forman & the new Point Place gang returning for Part 3 of That '90s Show this Thursday. In the newly released trailer, we find the gang winding down for the end of the summer & having to accept Leia leaving Point Place again. This new batch of episodes introduces one particularly big surprise and that's seeing Betsy Forman grown up in the circle (real That '70s Show fans will appreciate that Easter egg).

And on Friday: The Chernin Brothers, best known for their work writing on It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia & The Mick, make their directorial debut with the new R-rated high school comedy, Incoming. The movie follows "four high school freshmen who are faced with the greatest challenge of their young lives: their first high school party." The film features a primarily young cast of course and also stars Kaitlin Olson & Bobby Cannavale.
