Nov 25, 2014 4:04 PM CUT Billy Crystal is set to return to the small screen next year in _The Comedians_, an FX sitcom co-starring Josh Gad of _Book of Mormon_ fame. Crystal and Gad play an unlikely pair of comedians, one old and one young (an obvious fact, and one that bears pointing out only in its importance to the show’s premise), paired up on a late-night comedy sketch show. Based on the teasers released so far, we can expect to see Crystal feeling cast off for his comparatively advanced age (up top). But there’s also Crystal resenting his much younger partner: Crystal resenting his much younger partner some more: And a nice dose of bathroom humor: _The Comedians_ is based on the Swedish show Ulveson and Herngren, whose creators will co-produce along with Crystal. The show will run for 13 episodes in 2015, though a premiere date has not yet been announced. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3604874/the-comedians-teasers-billy-crystal/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3604874/the-comedians-teasers-billy-crystal/"},"headline":"Watch Several Teasers for Billy Crystal’s Upcoming Sitcom The Comedians","datePublished":"2014-11-25T16:04:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T02:21:46.414Z","description":"Crystal and Josh Gad play an intergenerational comedy duo","url":"https://time.com/3604874/the-comedians-teasers-billy-crystal/","keywords":["Television","Comedy","Trailers"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3604874/the-comedians-teasers-billy-crystal/","name":"Watch Several Teasers for Billy Crystal’s Upcoming Sitcom The Comedians"}}]}] ```
