Back in 1978, David Letterman was on CBS’s Mary, Mary Tyler Moore’s variety show, and Billy Crystal was on ABC’s Soap. They were on two different networks and because of that that made them eligible to compete against each other on Battle of the Network Stars. The two men battled it out in obstacle course challenge and Crystal won the race as you can see in the clip that was shown on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday.
Now that Battle of the Network Stars is back on ABC, Crystal challenged his old friend to a rematch. Considering a lot of people who were on the original series are on the new one now, it is totally possible. Although they could be in the same team as Oscar hosts since they also both did that. How awesome would it be to see the two of them take it to the course again? I am Team Billy, what about you?
Billy Crystal took his tour to a land down under and as you can see he has a giant crab near his land down under. I never thought I would be so focused on the city slicker’s crotch, but it just looks so yummy to me. I just want to suck that monster dry!

On May 20th, David Letterman is going to say goodbye to hosting late night television after nearly a third of a century and Billy Crystal wrote a song for his longtime friend.
The Comedian sang the tribute tune to the beat of Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof and it is marvelous. How can you not have a tear in your eye when you look back at The Late Show host’s career and what a career it has been.

Billy Crystal is returning to TV tonight in FX’s The Comedians at 10p and he’s bringing Josh Gad along with him.
The show is about the two of them starring in a mockumentary of the making of their variety show that is slated on the network. To say the two of them hate each other would be understatement. Their resentment they have for each other is what makes the show so funny. Each week, they will try to make the show work even though they can’t stand each other.
The show is not only about them, it is also about their inept staff. Kristen Laybourne (Stephnie Weir) is their producer and she is beyond clueless. While she is at the top of the food chain, Esme (Megan Ferguson) is at the bottom, and she is the smartest one of them all. She knows how to play the game and she plays it better than anyone else.
You can’t have two leads like Crystal and Gad and not expect great guest stars. Steven Weber plays a director and you’ve never seen him looking like this before. Mel Brooks plays himself and he does a cat imitation that is so good even my kitty thought it was the real thing.
While those are the guest stars, the episodes have their own unique appeal. There’s one episode where they get high and go to a supermarket. Another one where Gad has to learn how to fake cry and he can’t do it. And every episode has least one funny sketch in it. Like tonight Crystal plays all the roles in that infamous When Harry Met Sally scene.
If you like to laugh, then be prepared to do a lot of it during The Comedians.
Josh Gad shared a photo of Billy Crystal and himself on the set of their FX show The Comedians and I can’t get over how beautiful the Oscar host looks. Seriously, isn’t he sexy? Who knew?
To find out why he is dressed like that, we will have to tune in to their show starting on April 9th!
