FX/FXx Picks Up Billy Crystal-Josh Gad Series ‘The Comedians’

The premise of two eras of comedy colliding, more disparate than those of Funny People with Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler, is now going to be the newest show at FX/FXx will have Josh Gad as a younger, edgier comedian working for vet comedian played by Billy Crystal (who is making a long awaited return to TV here) on a sketch show.

As this is another show dealing with the sort of the behind the scenes of comedy under the umbrella of FX, we immediately wonder if they or Louie would do a crossover of any kind.

Louie Returns May 5 with Two Episodes a Week

Louie Returns May 5 with Two Episodes a Week

The wait is almost over and it’s even going to be made better. Of course, we mean in reference to the headline. After over a year and half, Louis CK‘s Louie is returning to TV for its fourth season and you’ll get back-to-back episodes each week almost two months straight.

So make several reminders for this for May 5th 10PM on FXx.

Archer Getting Two More Seasons at FXx

With how tight networks keep their leashes on their shows, it’s surprising to hear that a show will even get renewed much less get an order for two seasons.

That’s how good Archer on FXx is and hopefully they’ll make it to double digit season territory not too far from now.

Are you surprised that the cast of FX/FXx’s line-up of pilots is shaping up? First, Zach Galifianakis in a Louis C.K. pilot, and now Michael Cera and John Hawkes in a Charlie Kaufman pilot.

Zach Galifianakis To Star In and Co-Write Louis C.K. Pilot at FX/FXx

Well, if you had to formulate to make one of the most anticipated pilots of the entire pilot season, having Zach Galifianakis team up with Louis C.K. is a really good way to it. As part of his development deal, C.K. has done just that for FX/FXx.

There are no details as what the pilot might be, which makes us think that C.K. might be playing it so close to the chest that FX/FXx might not even know.

FX Tries For Another Rock Comedy with Pilot From Denis Leary

Two years ago, FX had Dana Gould and Dave Grohl developing a rock comedy, which we’re really excited about, but ended up not going very far beyond development.

In 2014, a force behind one of their longest running series in Rescue Me, Denis Leary, is taking another crack at a rock comedy in a pilot called Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.

Perhaps, this one will fare a little better.

It shouldn’t be shocking to you, but, at the same time, great news that Louis C.K. is getting an overall deal at FX/FXx to produce more series.

Perhaps, he’ll try to develop those pitches in the one episode of Louie where he walked a TV exec from having lunch with him.

Jen Kirkman To Star In & Create FXx Comedy

FX/FXx has found their next comedian that they want to develop a series around thankfully in Jen Kirkman. Much along the way Legit and Louie are focused on the comedy of Jim Jefferies and Louis C.K., ‘Jen’ will be seemingly very much centered on Jen Kirkman’s stand up.

It’s also good to see that FXx is keeping their development slate robost and moving. If anything, this should emphatically prove that Jen Kirkman, as her podcast suggests, is indeed fun.

Steve Rannazzisi First Hour Stand Up Special ‘Manchild’ Premiering Next Week on Comedy Central

Many of you might know Steve Rannazzisi from The League on FXx, but he’s also a great stand-up comedian as well. That’s why you should check out his very first hour long stand up special ‘Manchild’ next week on Comedy Central, and, if you really like it, drop $5 to buy the extended and uncut version.

Knowing how well Steve channels his anger in his stand up, it might be worth it to spend 5 clams.

FX Buys Modern Day Odd Couple Comedy From Randall Einhorn

FX/FXx adds another intriguing project to their slate with a Randall Einhorn (Wilfred, The Office) an adaptation of an ‘odd couple’ type novel that’s a little bit of a departure from the typical odd couple fare, but relies on the same dynamic.

That is, unless we’re mistaken, and The Odd Couple featured gang members and drug use.

While a Daily Show-esque program, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell features stand up comedy. Not only do they have a bunch of great stand ups on the show, but they’ll have the likes of the very funny Sheng Wang do a set on the show.

It’s definitely something good to see considering that stand up during late night isn’t just a given anymore.
