If I’m being completely honest here, a show entitled The Comedians that stars Billy Crystal and Josh Gad seems like some kind of prank. I don’t think of either as actual comedians, more like comedic actors that mired in mediocrity. But as much as I have little faith in its stars, The Comedians does have some serious talent on the creative end, which may very well be the series’ saving grace. Of the creative crew on The Comedians, none stands out more than Larry Charles. The director of Borat and numerous episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Charles’ résumé screams comedy.
In anticipation of the series premiere on April 9th at 10pm, FX has released a few videos where the stars of The Comedians discuss various aspects of the show and more at a panel during SXSW.
