Looks like Billy Crystal is turning into quite the babe!

As anticipation grows for the legendary actor's new comedy series, his co-star Josh Gad is teasing fans about some of the LOL worthy moments to come.

In a new Instagram post from Friday afternoon, Gad shares the first look at Crystal dressed as a fabulous lady living in the Victorian era.

"Meet America's new power couple ," he captioned as Crystal worked a floral pink dress with lacy white gloves and a basket-weaved hat. "#TheComedians #FX #April9th"

Not to be outdone, Gad looked awfully similar to another A-list actor we know and love. With that hairstyle and mustache, does Jack Black ring a bell to anyone?!

The series, which will air right before Louie on Thursday nights, tells the story of a comedy legend (Crystal) and an "edgier" up-and-comer (Gad) who star in a late-night sketch show together. Stephnie Weir, Matt Oberg and Megan Ferguson also round out the talented cast.

So what drew Crystal back to television? Turns out the wild and crazy antics were a major selling point for the 66-year-old.

"I get to play an extended version of myself, which is great," he recently told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour. "I get to do live sketches in front of a live audience. I get to do these film pieces. I get to have crazy fun like that and work with incredible people."

He added, "At this point in my career it's like a blessing to have this show because it reinforces and reinvigorates everything that I started out doing and have loved to do my entire career."

We're more than a little intrigued after this snapshot!
