Actor-comedian Josh Gad has landed the co-lead opposite Billy
Crystal in the cable pilot The Comedians. Gad also will serve as
a producer on the project from writers/executive producers
Billy Crystal, Larry Charles, Matt Nix, and Ben Wexler. Based
on a Swedish format, The Comedians centers on a young, hip
comic on the rise (Gad) who resents – and rails against – his
pairing with an aging superstar comedian (Crystal) for a late-
night comedy sketch show. Charles is directing the FX/Fox TV
Studios pilot, with Mikkel Bondesen and Henrik Bastin also executive producing.
