Mary Beth Barone hopes you learn something about yourself after her new show. “Galaxy Brain,” her first Netflix special, introduces the world to her Chihuahua-mix Pinky, goes deep on those emergency phones on college campuses and presents viewers with the chance to figure out “if they’re an ‘oh my god’ or an ‘oh f–k.’”
“That’s going to be so fun,” she says.
“Galaxy Brain,” out Tuesday, is the latest milestone for the 35-year-old, who was named one of Comedy Central’s Up Next in 2019 and has bloomed in popularity in the years since, thanks to her podcasts with fellow comedian and best friend Benito Skinner, her breakout role on Skinner’s Amazon Prime series “Overcompensating” and a much-lauded turn as Golden Globes red carpet host earlier this year. A Netflix special is only fitting.
