Studio C is an American sketch comedy television show created by Matt Meese and Jared Shores. Produced by BYUtv, the show aims to be a clean, family-oriented comedy for a national audience.
The show traces its roots to the Brigham Young University sketch comedy troupe Divine Comedy, which shares some cast members with Studio C. The show's name is a reference to the studio in the BYU Broadcasting Building where the show is primarily taped.[1][2]
As of May 2023, the Studio C YouTube channel had over 2.7 million subscribers and had received more than 2.6 billion total views.[3]
In August 2018, it was confirmed that Studio C would have a 10th season but the ten original cast members would be leaving after the 9th season to create and star together on a new family-comedy network called JK! Studios.[4] In addition to Johnson and Pence's return, the 10th season and onward feature all-new cast members.
In October 2020, it was announced that Jason Gray would return to Studio C as a permanent cast member in the fourteenth season during Fall 2021.[5][6]
On July 19, 2023, JK! Studios released a full length movie titled "Go West" in Utah theaters, containing the original 10 cast members of Studio C. It was released nationally on August 11.[7][8][9] In 2024, many of the members of JK! Studios, in conjunction with Canadian improvisational comedian Colin Mochrie (of Whose Line Is It Anyway? fame), announced plans to release Villains Inc., a self-funded production with plans to use crowdfunding to pay for independent distribution.[10]
On April 27, 2024, Studio C announced that Matt Meese would be returning for seasons 19 and 20 of the series, which will air Fall 2024 and Spring 2025.
