Billy Crystal (Soap, Saturday Night Live) and Josh Gad (Back to You, 1600 Penn) both have experience starring in televisions shows. Some have been successful while others have not. Will The Comedians be a hit in the ratings for FX? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? We’ll have to wait and see.
A mockumentary comedy series, The Comedians stars Crystal as a comedy legend who’s reluctantly paired with edgy up-and-coming star Gad for a late night sketch comedy show. Egos and generations soon collide on The Billy & Josh Show — much to the dismay of the show’s crew. The rest of the cast includes Stephnie Weir, Matt Oberg, Megan Ferguson, and Dana Delany.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
7/23 update: The Comedians has been cancelled by FX after one season.
Final season averages: 0.21 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 500,000 total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like The Comedians TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Was late to this show and have been loving it only to find out at 2nd last episode that its not coming back. Very disappointing
Terrific show and really deserves to be brought back. Loved every episode.
Bring back The Comedians. The show is terrific from beginning to end. It must return!
The funniest show on TV. Great satirical take on show biz. Great chemistry between Billy and Gad. May need a new director. Can not wait for more. Please renew.
Started as a straight-up comedy then eased its way into dramedy territory. I absolutely love the show, it’ll be a sad day if it’s officially cancelled. One of the few shows I keep tuning into FX for besides Man Seeking Woman, Louie, and the Simpsons. If the guys need an extra year or so to conjur up a brilliant second season, let it happen. The wait will be worthwhile.
It’s not a good sign when you watch a comedy show and don’t find any of it funny. Actors have no chemistry and the jokes they make are obvious and over-exaggerated most of the time. Please cancel it and move on.
Very funny show.
the Comedians best show on TV laugh all through it hope it is renewed Brilliant
Found this show recently. Crystal has the acting range to be funny, touching, and wise as a mystic comedy sage all in one scene. This show has lots of heart and a Tesla’s battery of potential comedic stores to draw upon. I love the growing father son releationship that is developing between Billy and Josh. It will make a great second season if it reveals more of a connection between these production nomads when the show gets renewed. They are all a bit too “on the surface” and impersonal in the dealings. Dig in and get these characters sorted out… Read more »
It deserves a 2nd season for sure.
People suck now a days.
I’m also the type to find it hard getting into a new show.
It took me until Community was canceled to get into/
notice the unique potential.
This show has great potential.
I love comedy as much as I do Billy Crystal,
and this is such a great idea.
Cancel this garbage, please, FX, please…and spend the money on something worth watching.
I love this show. Nothing like I expected and that makes it great.
Keep Crystal,
Lose Gawd awful Gad, he is not even a little funny and ruins the show in every scene he shows up in.
Didn’t anyone see 1600 Penn, he was a eyesore in that also…
Strangely he was soso in the wedding ringer, maybe because they kept his “acting” under control..
cancel this trash
Really?? Crystal is amazing!! Love him
Yeah!!!
AND give BBT 8 more seasons!!!!!!!
Bring back Crossbones series!!! It was excellant and needs to continue!
Hello, different show, different ch.! This one sucks.
