OFFICIAL DATE ANNOUNCEMENT AND TRAILER
PEACOCK ANNOUNCES PREMIERE DATE AND RELEASES OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR NEW ORIGINAL COMEDY SPECIAL LADYKILLER FROM JENA FRIEDMAN
THE LATEST STAND UP SPECIAL FROM JENA FRIEDMAN DROPS ON PEACOCK SEPTEMBER 30
This fall, Jena Friedman (Indefensible and Not Funny: Essays on Life) takes America by storm in her new comedy special, Ladykiller, premiering on Peacock Sept 30. The one-hour comedy set explores the myriad topics that affect women in the U.S. from crime to marriage and reproductive rights. Throughout the special, Jena explores hot button issues facing women in modern day America with a no-holds-barred humor making it the most charged of her stand-up performances to date.
QUOTE FROM JENA FRIEDMAN, WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR
"I wasn't pregnant when I sold the special and Roe hadn't yet been overturned, so the confluence of those two things happening as I was prepping to tape Ladykiller, made me really appreciate having a platform where I could talk about some of the things I have been losing sleep over since Roe was overturned, and to do so particularly before the midterms. I hope it will resonate with viewers, and on a personal level, it has been incredibly cathartic."
QUOTE FROM KATIE HOCKMEYER EVP LATE NIGHT PROGRAMMING & COMEDY SPECIALS, NBCUNIVERSAL TELEVISION & STREAMING
"We are so excited to be the home of Jena's newest comedy hour. Ladykiller joins our slate of diverse and unique voices, as we continue to become the go-to destination for truly "special" comedy specials."
