The Comedians is an American comedy television series starring Billy Crystal and Josh Gad as fictional versions of themselves. A 13-episode first season was ordered by FX, and premiered on April 9, 2015. The series was developed by Larry Charles, Billy Crystal, Matt Nix, and Ben Wexler. On July 23, 2015, the series was cancelled after one season.

Because of the merge between Fox Television Studios and Fox 21, The Comedians was the first production by Fox 21 Television Studios.

It is an adaptation of the Swedish SVT series Ulveson och Herngren.
