Drew Carey is the host of this 'game' where the audience picks the style and the story that the four 'contestants' must improvise a skit from. The contestants are usually quick minded comedians. The usual suspects are Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and Wayne Brady with sometimes a guest trying to keep up.This has great fun, and originality at the start. It was truly laugh out loud. After a couple of seasons, the games get repetitive. There's only so many games they had to play with. But it's asking too much to keep it fresh all the time. They do have guest stars once in awhile, but they're usually ineffective.

i used to flick through on foxtel and would see the name of this show pop up on the guide and i used to always change channel without giving it a chance. and then one time i sat and watched a 5 episode back-to-back thing and i absolutely cracked up with laughter. my dad and i are great fans of the show and would often be brought to tears by laughing so much.i find it hard to pick a favourite. Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady, Drew Carey (can be quite funny at times), and the regular guests as the fourth person. like Brad Sherwood, Greg Proops, Kathryn Greenwood. these guys are a bunch of geniuses at improv.i often enjoyed how there would be one main thing of the episode (like one of Colin's many colourful shirts, or one of Ryan's very interesting pair of shoes, or even a stuff up) and would often refer to those things in another sketch, putting it in somewhere.this show i found was always funny and even episodes i had already seen, i still found funny.remember, the points don't matter

Sure shows like Seinfeld and The Simpson's are smarter. This show is the only show where even if I ve seen the episode I still have the time of my life watching it. When you watch the show you can see the friendship and really translates into making some extremely funny parts. Now if you never watch the show it might not be funny at first but hang in there because once you realize why the show is funny because its friends joking with each other it really gets contagious all the inside jokes and screw ups become hilarious to you too. the cast Main guys Colin Morchrie- He is like Chris Farley he has the ability to make the cast die laughing like no one else Ryan Stiles- Smartest improver can really make incredible insults Wayne brady- All around the most talented of the cast singing, acting, and coming up with suggestions. Regular 4th men Greg, Chip,and Kathy The host is drew carey

This is the first game show Drew Carey hosted, as The Price is Right is about to become number 3. Drew is a fine host & I am sure he will add something to TPIR.Whose Line Is It Anyways started with the BBC & when it was brought here it was a great choice to choose Drew as host. Actually Ryan Styles & several other regulars were also mainstays on the British version. About the only major changes were the host (Drew) & the fact the instead of a game show counting points it became just a who can be funniest competition. US TV viewers won on that one.I bet though, if drew accidentally tells a TPIR contestant that the "Prizes don't matter" there will be some major confusion, especially if Mimi comes out as a Carey Beauty! Of course then again, maybe there is some fun as Drew needs to make the show his own. Wonder how far Drew can go? Maybe they will get rid of those Medicare Commercials CBS has been running with Bob! Most Whose Line shows start with the introductions of the performers & then they sit down until Drew calls they up to do some situation. Sometimes, like the British one, suggestions from the audience are put in for good measure.Quite a few shows feature a mock news cast. Scenes from a hat is another favorite of mine. Sometimes voice overs in from of blue screens or old films are done. Funny doings with a Prop sometimes come in here on some shows.When it comes to the singing portion, I always hope Wayne Brady is there as he can really ad-lib some crazy songs. The improvisational comedy which this show truly is is almost always funny. If you want to relieve daytime burnout, this show is a great place to stop.The closings I have seen are either a couple of folks taking the names in the credits & doing strange things with them or sometimes the theme hoedown ends it. The theme of the hoedown usually changes every time.This show is great fun, & I give the folks on it a 1 millions points & they win great applause.
