Two cops, zero script, infinite chaos. Real NYPD stories, completely made up on the spot.
Season 1 • Episode 6
LatestThe cops are back and they still never stop talking. In the 2nd episode of Midtown, Baker and Malloy deal with an attractive woman who was a victim of a burglary, which leads them to debate women on the street, who'd they rather sleep with, and who they want to read about on overnight stakeouts.
Two NYPD Cops dialogue continuously, debating everything under the sun. Midtown is based on the true cop stories of former NYPD cop turned improv comedian Scott Baker. The show features Scott and Tom Malloy, star of the film Love N' Dancing (Dir: Rob Iscove) and graduate of the famous IoWest Improv Training center in Los Angeles. The series features real cop banter, and is based on situational humor related to being a cop in the NYPD. All of the dialogue is unscripted, and relies only on the improv comedy talents of Baker and Malloy.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Scott Baker patrolled actual midtown Manhattan before trading his badge for improv classes at UCB.
The show quietly belongs to the 'copaganda but make it comedy' micro-genre alongside Brooklyn Nine-Nine, though its microbudget format keeps it honest.
