Ethan Shanfeld In Hulu’s “Reboot,” a meta comedy from “Modern Family” creator Steven Levitan, Johnny Knoxville plays edgy stand-up comedian Clay Barber. After multiple stints in jail, he gets the chance to reprise his role in a wholesome family sitcom after, yes, Hulu, decides to reboot it 20 years later.

He’s not always gonna do it the best way, but he’s trying to hold it together. You kind of like that guy. What does “Reboot” get right about Hollywood?
