    Are we talkin about the old British version of the show or the newer American one with Drew Cary?


    Either one is funny as fuck in any case, although I think the older British one just edges it.

    We unfortunetely get that show at 3:30am. Great show thought.

    Wish The Drew Carey Show was still around. It always looked like they had so much fun :)

    I loved the Drew Carey Show too! All the good shows get taken off the air...

    But Who's Line is a classic, both versions of it.

    They always knew the games. They usually didn't know the topic, seeing that the topic usually came from the audience members.

    I highly doubt that they actually went out of their way to place people in the audience, either, seeing that if you go to the Whoser fan site, they have people write in about having their topics used. And that would just be pointless.

    To quote Greg Proops:

    "Don't you think the show would be funnier if it was planned?"

    If i was not as dumb as i am, and actualy talked about the actual subject at hand.. Rather than 'Have i got news for you' it would not be so confusing:& Doh :p

    They do know the questions before hand on that show..

    'Who's line is it anyway' your right

    Now i do know they don't make it anymore.:p

    Whose Line is it Anyway?
    The popular television show, Whose Line is it Anyway?, features four contestents improvising skits and songs right on the spot. There are no scripts involved. Instead, suggestions are taken from the audience or given to the contestents by the host. WLiiA began originally as a radio show (hosted by Clive Anderson) in the UK. It then moved to television, where it aired in the UK for 10 seasons with Clive Anderson as the host. Clive also hosted the show for one season in Hollywood, and then the show was picked up by ABC and hosted by Drew Carrey. Many of the old performers from the UK series made appearances on the new US series, including Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie, who were regulars both on the US and UK versions of the show. The US version ran for five years before being cancelled.

    American television's most unique comedy series, Whose Line Is It Anyway? began as a radio program in London (everyone in the uk lives in London) in 1988 before co-creators Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson brought the show to television. After the show's first season with British lawyer-turned-comedy writer and host Clive Anderson, Ryan Stiles joined as a performer. That same year the show won the British Academy Award. Canadian actor Colin Mochrie joined as a performer shortly thereafter. Over the next five years, the show won the CableACE Award four times.

    In the same way that Saturday Night Live has spawned a new generation of comedians, so has Whose Line Is It Anyway? in Britain, with many alumni going on to star in their own series.

    Dan Patterson, Drew Carey, Ryan Stiles, Denise O'Donoghue and Jimmy Mulville are the executive producers of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, which premiered on August 5, 1998. Mark Leveson is co-executive producer. The show was created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, and is produced by Riverside Productions, Inc., in association with Hat Trick Productions, LTD, and is distributed by Warner Bros. Television.

    One of the funniest things I've ever seen on t.v. was when Richard Simmons was a guest on Who's Line.

    THE best episodes are easily the ones with Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie.
    I was really surprised at how bad the episode with Robin Williams was, it was like the topics were formulated against him

    You know I always imagined in the US all you would watch is US programmes. I don't imagine you watching UK stuff.
