While there was some buzz around Drake possibly filling the role, bringing in Buress will certainly provide a fun and bizarre edge to the proceedings. The only question I have now is whether Buress will play Jordan aggressively like his latest comedy special, or if he'll bring a little more of that Broad City Lincoln vibe.
