Billy Crystal is headed to FX.
The network has announced that this legendary comedian will star in a single-camera comedy aptly-titled The Comedians. It will center on an older comic who gets paired with a younger/edgier star for a late-night sketch show.
Sounds a bit like Nashville, just set in the world of comedy.
With FX already home to some of our favorite shows (Sons of Anarchy, Justified, The Americans), it's safe to say we're excited for this potential series... and that's without even looking at the list of producers/writers. They include:
Larry Charles (Seinfeld), Matt Nix (Burn Notice) and Ben Wexler (Community). Sign. Us. Up. »

FX is adding Billy Crystal to their stable of comedy stars, greenlighting the pilot "The Comedians" Crystal has been developing with Larry Charles ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), Matt Nix ("Burn Notice") and Ben Wexler ("Arrested Development").
Charles (whose credits also include "Borat" and "Seinfeld") will direct the pilot, which stars Crystal as a comedy veteran who meets his match in an edgy young comedian on a late-night comedy sketch show. That will presumably give Crystal the opportunity to showcase some of the sketch comedy skills he demonstrated in his season as a regular on "Saturday Night Live."
Crystal's TV resume also includes a series regular gig on the late '70s comedy "Soap" and winning six Emmy awards, including four for his frequent hosting of the Academy Awards.

At its upfront presentation in March, FX announced that it was launching a new channel, Fxx, focused on comedy. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "The League," "Legit" and "Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell" will shift to the sister network when it launches this fall, but there will also obviously be more room for new originals on both. And one of those could by "The Comedians," a half-hour, single-camera comedy starring Billy Crystal as a showbiz veteran who gets paired with an edgy up-and-comer on a late-night sketch show. "The Comedians" pilot will be directed by Larry Charles ("Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Borat"), and is written and executive produced by Charles, Crystal, Matt Nix ("Burn Notice") and Ben Wexler ("Community"). It's produced by Fox Television Studios and is an adaptation of the Swedish series "Ulveson and Herngren," which was a mockumentary starring Johan Ulveson and Felix Herngren as themselves.

It's nearly summer, which means it's nearly the season of USA.
With such established hits as Suits and Burn Notice making their returns in just a few weeks, the network will also be offering up a new series titled Graceland.
Based on a true story, it sticks six federal agents - from the FBI, DEA and Customs - in a home previously owned by an Elvis-loving drug dealer. What kind of tone should viewers expect from the drama, which premieres June 6?
We asked that question of Daniel Sunjata on the red carpet of last week's USA Upfront:
Daniel Sunjata Interview
We also caught up with Vanessa Ferlito, who explained why Graceland is unlike anything seen on television before:

It’s almost summer and that means that cable has new seasons of Burn Notice, True Blood, and other summer fare on tap while the broadcast networks go into semi-hibernation because they figure that viewers are busy. The CW is no different, but this summer they’re hoping that there are enough improv comedy fans to help propel their Whose Line is it Anyway reboot toward success, and now we’ve got our first look at the show with this clip that is heavy on both 90210 fueled corporate synergy and funny.
As you can see from the video (above), little has changed from the version of Whose Line that ran from 1998-2006 on ABC with Drew Carey as moderator and the original version of the show that ran in the UK from 1988-1998. Even the show’s stars – Ryan ...

New York — Two reasons for the popularity of the USA series "Psych" are its inside jokes and theme storylines, like the recent 100th episode inspired by the movie "Clue" that had multiple endings.
At the network's annual upfront presentation for advertisers Thursday, James Roday said for the show's eighth season, which they're filming now, "we've still got a couple tricks up our sleeve."
He goes on to say they're planning to "do something that's never been done in the history of television."
The show's cast and crew are planning to remake a previous episode.
Roday and co-star Dule Hill said they already know which episode will get remade but they can't reveal which one. Roday does say it will be from "early" in the series.
"Because why would we remake something from season seven," joked Hill.
On "Psych," Roday plays Shawn Spencer, a consultant for the Santa Barbara Police Department »

USA rolled out a pretty hefty list of new dramas in development at its upfront on Thursday (May 16) to go along with the two original comedies it's picked up.
The cable channel says it's ready to start production on "Horizon," a drama from "The Walking Dead" executive producer Gale Anne Hurd that's set in World War II. Written by Bridget Tyler ("Burn Notice"), it centers on a woman working at the FBI who stumbles on a top-secret project, code named "Horizon," that could provide answers about her husband's death. Needless to say, she also invites some trouble for herself with her investigation.
"Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas also has a show in the works at USA: "Blanco County," based on a series of books by Ben Rehder. It's about a retired baseball player who runs for sheriff in his small Texas hometown -- one that he's spent most of his »
