SNL alumni, former head writers openly gay Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider are the ones responsible for the Comedy Central sitcom THE OTHER TWO that everyone in the QUEERGURU Office is obsessed with. This hilariously funny TV show is about the older siblings of a 13-year-old internet celebrity .
While Chase Dreams (Case Walker) gets instant fame and success from a viral music video, his brother Carey (Drew Tarver) struggles to make it as a gay actor, and his sister Brooke (Heléne Yorke) a former professional dancer ends up working as his assistant and trying to pull her personal life together. The siblings mother is played by none other than the fabulous Molly Shannon
Here’s a clip from the latest episode, airing on Comedy Central at 10:30 p.m. Eastern, which sees Carey trying to land an audition as gas station attendant in the latest American Crime Story series . The trouble is that the producers are insisting that he reach a certain number of Instagram followers before they will even consider him for the part.
In desperation Carey starts hanging out with a group of gay social media influencers so they’ll tag him in all their selfies, and the portrayal of “Instagays” who “run around with no shirt on, posting song lyrics that have nothing to do with the pic he’s put up” is so spot-on it’s almost painful.
It is so very gay , so very shallow (in a good way) and so very now : check it out.
