Nicole Byer Makes You Laugh (Again) In 'Ladylike'

by Caroline Gerdes

If you like Girl Code, you’ll love MTV’s latest female-fueled endeavor Ladylike, premiering Thursday, June 9. The hidden camera show will challenge gender stereotypes with bold pranks and ridiculous situations. The show will star Girl Code alums Nicole Byer, Jade Catta-Preta, and Matteo Lane — along with comedian Blair Socci. Like most of her co-stars, Byer is no stranger to MTV, though she's also made you laugh in other ways.

As reported by Deadline, MTV ordered four new girl-powered shows and Byer is involved in half of them. In addition to Ladylike, The Untitled Nicole Byer Project will star, you guessed it, Byer in a scripted comedy. The series will follow Byer as a woman who moves to the suburbs to live with her sister after setting fire to her own New York apartment. According to MTV's synopsis, Byer will humorously find herself in the role of aunt with her sister’s children. With the comedian coming to your television in so many ways soon, it’s important we get to know her now — if you don't already.

Byer has probably crossed your screen time after time in hilarious YouTube videos and in character roles on some of your favorite shows. Here are all of the places you have already seen the rising star.
