'I’m with Busey' A Mockumentary Gem from 2003
In 2003, Comedy Central introduced the world to I’m with Busey, a bizarre and hilarious reality-comedy show starring legendary actor Gary Busey and his self-proclaimed superfan Adam de la Peña. While it only lasted one season, the show developed a cult following, thanks to its absurd premise and Busey’s unpredictable antics.
The show followed de la Peña, a timid comedy writer, as he spent time with Busey, who seemed to embody chaos incarnate. Each episode explored a life lesson—such as survival, love, or fear—but through the filter of Busey’s eccentric worldview. Busey would dole out his unique brand of wisdom, often delivered through baffling metaphors and wild storytelling, which de la Peña would try (and fail) to process.
One of the show’s highlights was Busey’s off-the-cuff acronyms. For example, he famously defined “F.E.A.R.” as “False Evidence Appearing Real,” leaving viewers entertained and perplexed. The show also thrived on unscripted moments where Busey’s larger-than-life personality clashed with de la Peña’s awkwardness, creating a comedic dynamic that felt authentic, if not entirely surreal.
While I’m with Busey received mixed reviews during its original run—some critics found it too strange or gimmicky—fans appreciated its originality. The show stood out in a sea of early-2000s programming as something genuinely unpredictable.
Though it never got a second season, I’m with Busey remains a fascinating snapshot of early reality-comedy experiments. It’s a hidden gem for those who appreciate cringe-worthy humor and the pure chaos of Gary Busey at his most unfiltered. If you’re looking for something unapologetically weird, revisiting this short-lived series might just be the dose of madness you need.
