Whose Line Is It Anyway? the improv show hosted by Drew Carey from 1998-2004, is coming back. My inner nerd could not be more excited. The outer one too. I once spent an entire Saturday watching old episodes on YouTube. Worth it 100%.
The CW picked it up and Aisha Tyler (Archer) will host. Apparently the old cast of Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, and Wayne Brady will also return, along with a rotating special guest per episode. The format of the half-hour show is comedians doing improv games based on prompts from the host and suggestions from the audience. A “winner” is arbitrarily chosen at the end (“Welcome to Whose Line Is It Anyway? where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter.”). The show became something of a cult classic and I am in that cult. Please watch some clips on YouTube.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news today and they’re legit, so I trust them. CW network president Mark Pedowitz ordered 10 episodes for this summer. The exact date is TBD. Here’s hoping they do really well and get a regular place in the CW lineup!
Yay!
Yeah I used to watch this show all the time. Glad they got Stiles and Mockrie back, they were my two favorites.
YUSSSS!
I loved that show :) Wayne Brady was so quick on his feet ! He could sing to any subject at the drop of a hat ! If he doesn’t come back full time I hope he at least makes a appearance :)
Yeah!
Tapioca!!!!! :)
loved this show when Drew was hosting — can’t wait to watch it now– love Aisha Tyler — very pretty lady — and very funny — so a great combination all around.
I never did like that show . I think that show is so FUCKING DUMB . That show is not even funny . They should never bring it back at all
