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.
As of May 2023, Studio C has a YouTube channel with over 2.7 million subscribers and more than 2.6 billion total views. Their channel features many sketches from the show, along with a few YouTube exclusives. Studio C's most popular video is "Top Soccer Shootout Ever With Scott Sterling", which, by 2023, had over 89 million views on YouTube. Studio C posts new videos on YouTube every Tuesday and Friday.
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. 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.
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.
