Below, check out the first official promo for the new FX series THE COMEDIANS, co-starring Billy Crystal (Broadway's 700 Sundays) and Josh Gad (Book of Mormon). The series will premiere in 2015.
FX has ordered 13 episodes of the comedy series in which Crystal plays a superstar veteran comedian who is reluctantly paired with Gad, an edgier up-and-coming star, in an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at a late night sketch comedy show where egos and generations collide. Rounding out the cast are series regulars Stephanie Weir, Matt Oberg and Megan Ferguson. Said FX's Nick Grad, "We're incredibly excited about The Comedians and the fact that Billy Crystal will be making his return to series television on FX. The chemistry between Billy and Josh is amazing, and Larry, Matt, Ben and Billy did a fantastic job of making what is certain to become one of the best comedies on TV." The Comedians marks the Emmy Award winning Crystal's first regular starring role in a TV series since his performance as "Jodie Dallas" in the groundbreaking ABC comedy Soap, which ran from 1977-81.Videos
