Who Wants to Date a Comedian? is an American reality-based dating competition series that debuted in first-run syndication in the United States on September 19, 2011. The half-hour series was created by Byron Allen through his production company Entertainment Studios (which also produces numerous other syndicated programs including Comics Unleashed and Comedy.tv).
The series, which is primarily syndicated to stations affiliated with Fox and to independent stations (in addition to airing on ES-operated cable television network Comedy.tv), for broadcast in access, late fringe and graveyard time periods, is among the first dating series (along with CBS Television Distribution's Excused, which debuted one week earlier and has featured some contestants who have also appeared on this program) to air in first-run syndication since the 2006 cancellations of Blind Date and Elimidate. The series' second season debuted on September 17, 2012.
