Does anyone else think the cast on "Who's line is it Anyway"....

....are really friggin' good? OK, not Drew, but Colin, Wayne, Brad, Ryan and Greg. They have some really funny bits in my opinion.

1. I do, but

they need to rotate more people IMO. They often end up doing the same jokes over from show to show.

6. Yeah, I have seen some rehashed

I wish they would do some new shows too. I keep watching the old ones, and once in a great while I see one I have never seen. The funny thing is, on some of the bits, no matter how many times I see them, I still laugh my ass off.

15. That's true

there's one that kills me they call "Show-Stopping Number" where they have some dialogue, then, when the buzzer goes off, they have to make a huge Broadway-style song out of the last line to be said. I think that one is my favorite!

24. They were cancelled.

What you are seeing are repeats from last 4 years up until last fall.

14. I agree.

I've some friends who worked at an improve comedy place. While they liked doing the same things with the same people at first, but soon they got bored with routine and needed to freshen things up.

I loved the british version, as they swapped people a lot. Drew's version is practically stagnant.

3. Definitely.

When they're riffing together, Colin and Ryan are the funniest comics around.

4. What models say to each other when they pass each other on the runway:

"I kept some food down today."

I watch the show every night!

7. LOL

Ryan is pretty quick. Colin is so bizarre sometimes, that he is too funny. I watch 'em every night also.

8. I agree

I just sit there astonished, often, that they are coming up with this stuff on the spot! Especially Wayne's singing bits!

10. Drew Carey is a funny guy AND I'M NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT!

I don't care if he's a Repuke, he's funny. Just like I don't care if Tom Cruise is a nutjob. Now, if we could only figure out a way of shutting them both up outside of acting/comedy...

12. He can be funny sometimes

He is from where I live. It's not really Cleveland, it's part of Cleveland called Old Brooklyn.

13. I remember those shows

I used to watch those too. I think most of these guys were on there too. I remember Greg, Ryan and Colin form the British one.

16. On the later ones

Ryan and Colin were staples, and Greg was on quite a bit. Here's the list of performers from the British show: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094580/

I thought Mike McShane was the funniest of the Americans who appeared on that show (excluding Ryan). And Drew Carrey could never hold a candle to Clive Anderson!

My ex did some improv with Colin many moons ago, before he hit it big.

But you're right - they are very, very good at improv.
