Tasty News: IFC Orders David Krumholtz Comedy Gigi’s Bucket List

Gigi's Bucker List

Let’s just say yentas are totally on trend right now. If you saw the last episode of The Goldbergs you’ll know what I’m talking about. Beverly Goldberg uses her yenta matchmaking powers to wreak havoc on her children’s school life. Enough said. IFC is getting on the yenta bandwagon with an order of the David Krumholtz comedy series Gigi’s Bucket List. The network has greenlit eight half-hour episodes which will premiere in late 2015. Krumholtz will transform himself into a 76-year old bubba who is keen on fulfilling her bucket list after her husband passes away. According to IFC the premise goes as follows:

With her dead husband’s secret millions, this 76-year-old yenta with a heart of gold and a razor-sharp tongue sets out to experience everything she deprived herself of in her younger years. Gigi (Krumholtz) will live life to its fullest and fastest while ignoring doctor’s orders and turning the stigmas of aging on their head. She will travel to rock festivals and explore new technologies like online dating, with her trusty male nurse sidekick played by Ricky Mabe (Goon, Zach & Miri Make A Porno) along for the ride.

If you are thinking this Gigi character sounds familiar, you are right. Krumholtz tranformed into the character on the Weather From website. There’s really nothing better than a nana giving you the weather with that extra bit of sass. If you are unfamiliar with the site this is your chance to see exactly what you can look forward to with the new series. We can’t wait!
