By Shania Russell/Aug. 3, 2021 4:19 pm EST Nothing screams romance quite like divorce, amirite? Seriously, titles like Kramer v Kramer, Scenes From A Marriage, and Marriage Story are beloved for good reason. Devastating as they are, divorce stories are very much about love, even its end. If that’s sounding a little too bleak, Eichner has it covered — Ex-Husbands is decisively a comedy. The Billy On The Street creator is famously hilarious as he frequently reiterated throughout the five seasons of the show, along with his roles on Bob’s Burgers, New Girl, and Friends from College....
