Unfiltered Creator of Hulu’s ‘This Fool’ Drops By The Checkitow Podcast

This Fool is creeping in on hit series status, giving the Latino community a smart and hilarious comedy show to get behind, featuring some dynamic Latin talent from the stand up stage.

The show’s premise revolves the real life aspects of comedian and creator Chris Estrada. This Fool’s storyline is led by Julio (played by Chris Estrada) and his cousin Luis (played by the scene-stealing Frankie Quinones). Julio, a straitlaced, rule-following type who still lives at home with his mother and grandmother, works at a nonprofit that helps recently incarcerated people readjust to life outside of prison. Luis, the family’s lovable, charismatic convict, has recently been released from prison and now has to become a member of Julio’s nonprofit: Hugs Not Thugs. Hilarity ensues each and every episode.

Now, Chris Estrada drops in on the latest episode of The Checkitow Podcast with Humberto Guida. He covers issues like dealing with family fresh out of prison, how to avoid birthday celebrations, and how Fred Armisen helped make Hulu’s This Fool the hottest new comedy series streaming.
