“Pete Holmes on What Bowling Comedy ‘How We Roll’ Shares With ‘Ted Lasso'”
“It’s a universal theme — take a chance on something that’s risky but is actually your passion,” says Holmes of his new comedy’s winning formula. “It’s even more relevant now than ever.”

Scoring big will be a team effort. Tom gets support from his hairstylist wife, Jen (Katie Lowes, Inventing Anna); their tap-dancing son, Sam (Mason Wells); Tom’s overprotective mom, Helen (Julie White); and sometimes coach Archie. “Our show has an underlying positivity, like Ted Lasso,” Holmes says. “And in the way Ted Lasso takes no cheap shots at soccer, our show doesn’t make fun of bowling.”
No wonder: How We Roll is based on Michigan assembly plant reject turned PBA world champion Tom Smallwood, who is a consultant. For Holmes, getting the role just right meant logging hours at the lanes: “I bowled till my hips were sore.”
He learned to love the game — but he’ll keep his day job. “The emphasis was almost 100 percent on just not embarrassing myself,” he says. “You don’t want people saying, ‘Why is he bowling it between his legs?’”
