One of my favorite TV shows growing up was a little show called "Whose Line is it Anyway?" every Thursday night at 8 on ABC. Yeah, I go that far back with Whose Line. It is honestly one of my favorite shows. I love it so much I still watch reruns either on ABC family at 11 o'clock or I'll watch some of my favorite clips over and over on Youtube.
There was a British veion and later an American version. I'm obviously talking about the American version, though the clips of the British version I've seen are also really funny. I'm only going to be talking about the American version today.
The show featured great comedians doing improved scenes. The show was hosted by Drew Carrey (during the time that The Drew Carrey Show was popular) and featured some great improvers. You may know some of their names from other shows or films. Here is a small smattering of their names: Colin Mocherie, Ryan Stiles, Chip Esteen, Wayne Brady, Greg Proops and even Stephen Colbert himself was on an early episode.
Why am I going on and on about this old show that hasn't put out a new episode in years (Not counting Drew Carrey's Green Screen Challenge, which sadly was on TV when I couldn't watch it)? Because a new show is coming to GSN called "Drew Carrey's Imrov-a-Ganza" and I'm so excited for it.
I really want this show to succeed. I love improv and I love Whose Line so I want it to succeed so badly. If I have any followers at all, and if I can ask you to do me a favor: Please watch this show. I promise you'll find something funny, or at least something that impresses you. After all, "Everythings made up, right off the top of thier heads."
