Awkwafina has no purpose, zero recollection of Social Security number, and a foul-mouthed grandma in the first trailer for the comedienne’s new Comedy Central sitcom.

Premiering Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 10:30pm/9:30c, Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens is a half-hour comedy loosely based on the rapper and Crazy Rich Asians scene stealer’s life growing up in Flushing. Per the official logline, “Raised by her Dad (played by Law & Order: SVU alum BD Wong) and Grandma (Orange Is the New Black‘s Lori Tan Chinn) alongside her cousin (Saturday Night Live‘s Bowen Yang), Nora Lin leans on her family as she navigates life and young adulthood in outer borough-NYC.”
