VIDEO: First Look- Billy Crystal and Josh Gad Star in FX's THE COMEDIANS

FX's newest series, THE COMEDIANS will make its television debut on April 5, 2015. Led by Tony Award-winner Billy Crystal and Tony nominee Josh Gad, THE COMEDIANS will have 8 episodes, with air times set for 10pm ET. Check out the first trailer for the show below!

Crystal recently shared with Variety that a host of A-list guest stars are already lined up to appear on the show, including Tony Award winner Mel Brooks (THE PRODUCERS), Jimmy Kimmel, Rob Reiner and Steven Weber.

Larry Charles and Ben Wexler will serve as writers/executive producers of the show, alongside Crystal, with Josh Gad as co-executive producer.

In THE COMEDIANS, Billy Crystal plays a comedy legend who is reluctantly paired with Josh Gad, an edgier up-and-coming star, in an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at a fictional late night sketch comedy show where egos and generations collide. Stephnie Weir stars as 'Kristen Laybourne,' the anxiety-ridden producer behind The Billy & Josh Show who frequently finds herself caught in the middle of Billy and Josh's arguments, Matt Oberg stars as 'Mitch Reed,' the show's head writer, and Megan Ferguson stars 'Esme McCauley,' a no-nonsense production assistant.
