Loosely Exactly Nicole” features Black female comedian Nicole Byer in the lead role. This is a near historic occurrence. Less than a handful of Black female comedians have had their own show, yet it’s an opportunity that’s being afforded Byer, a relative under-the-radar comedian who had never acted on television before.

Byer isn’t a complete newbie before the camera though. She was a big draw on MTV’s “Girl Code,” an unscripted show in which talking heads chime in about the peculiarities of being a woman, whether that means walking in high heels or Instagramming every meal. Byer isn’t a complete newbie before the camera. Byer was a draw on MTV after becoming a fan favorite on “Girl Code,” an unscripted show in which talking heads chime in about the peculiarities of being a woman, whether that means walking in high heels or Instagramming every meal.

It’s a fairly autobiographical show, but it doesn’t revolve around race. It’s about a single woman and her two best friends – both White. They live in Southern California, just barely scraping by. Nicole is trying to make it in Hollywood, but in-between casting calls, she has all kinds of adventures.
