The network rebranded on 1 September 2020 after ten months, merging with sister network The Comedy Channel to become Fox Comedy. Though it shared a similar name to its former sister network Fox Funny (which carried more contemporary sitcoms), Fox Comedy's schedule originally featured sitcoms ranging from the 80s to around the mid-2000s.
On 1 March 2023, with the Fox Funny channel closing, its content moved over to sister channels Fox Comedy and Fox8. On that date, Fox Comedy moved to replaced Fox Funny's slot.
On 26 September 2023, the channel rebranded as Comedy.
