Earlier today, Hannibal Buress shared a previously-unseen pilot he made in 2014. The project was titled Unemployable, and it revolved around a simple, clever premise: "I'm a stand-up comic," Buress explains in a voice-over. "This is the only job I've ever had. Most people in America do real jobs for a living though, and those jobs usually involve real skills. I don't have any of those skills. But for the sake of television, I'm gonna try out a bunch of jobs."
The comedian told The FADER over email: "I was really excited about [Unemployable] and I thought it was really funny and weird. We submitted it and I got impatient. I decided to tweet that Comedy Central had picked it up for 10 episodes. They had not picked it up at all. I was talking with the directors Andrew Barchilon and Kitao Sakurai while filming Eric Andre Show and we decided that we should at least get it out there. Here it is."
