Studio C is a sketch comedy television show produced in Utah by BYUtv. The show traces its roots to the BYU sketch comedy troupe Divine Comedy, which shares some cast members with Studio C. With the addition of three new members in Season eight, they are no longer all from Divine Comedy. The show aims to produce clean, family-oriented comedy for a national audience, shedding the BYU-oriented humor of Divine Comedy. The show was originally planned to be named Common Room until being changed to its current name, a reference to the studio in the BYU Broadcasting Building where the show is primarily filmed in front of a live audience. They have also created "Leave No Fan Behind" and "Christmas Special Live Event", which are both live YouTube events. This lets fans watch the cast play games and act out skits, as well as ask questions on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, for them to answer during the events.

As of 2016 Studio C had a YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers and more than a billion total views. Their channel features many skits from the show, along with a few YouTube exclusives. Studio C's most popular video is "Top Soccer Shootout Ever With Scott Sterling", which currently has over 67 million views on YouTube. Studio C posts new videos on YouTube every Tuesday and Friday.

In August 2018, it was confirmed that Studio C will have a 10th season but the 10 original cast members would be leaving after the 9th season to create and star together in a new family-comedy network called JK! Studios. With Johnson and Pence returning to the show, the 10th season will feature all new cast members.
