Shalini Dore Features News Editor Paul Reiser jokes that his audiences come in three age groups: Older ones are fans of “Mad About You,” slightly younger ones know him from “The Kominsky Method” and the youngest from “The Boys” and “Stranger Things.” Reiser’s latest sitcom, “Reboot,” bowed Sept. 20 on Hulu. • How did “Reboot” come about? It came about because [showrunner] Steve Levitan is very smart and funny. He came up with this show, and they invited me to join, and they sent me the script. I thought it was great. For me, it was really sort of a bonus because it’s a world I am so familiar with — half-hour television, but from another angle.

To which Stephen cheekily quipped: "Well, if it offers deep penetration..." as Daniel giggled and muttered: "Shut up." Viewers rushed to Twitter to share their reactions to the comments, with one user writing: “Stephen cracks me up, funny man" and another commented: “Lol Stephen is hilarious #Gogglebox.” Another tweeted: “He just hilarious says it how it is doesn’t give a s*** that’s what I like keeping it real #Gogglebox.” While someone else wrote: “Oh this fella!!
