The CW is bringing back one of my family’s favorite shows on TV, WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? But this time it’s hosted by Aisha Tyler ( The Talk) instead of Drew Carey. Cary hosted the original ABC version which ran for 8 seasons on TV in the US. If you are too young to have watched the original show, which aired from 1988 to 2004, let me tell you a bit about it. First it’s based on a UK show which had a splendid blend of British humor and slapstick fun. The show was reformatted a bit for the US audience, but the basis of the show is the same.
It’s an hour of spontaneous improve games were the players are prompted by random ideas from the host or the audience and then they have to run with the idea until the host gets bored or they run out of material. That rarely happens, but what does is some of the sillies TV around. The host assigns random points and then winners are chose for the final round.
On TV: Who’s Line Is It Anyway Premiere Date
The premiere date has not been announced. We only know that the show has been sold and that there will be four performers in each show with a special guest star each episode. Featured players returning include Wayne Brady, Ryan Stiles, and Colin Mochrie and I’m guessing Drew Carey will make a cameo or two as will some of the other original stars.
WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? is executive produced by Dan Patterson, Mark Leveson, Jimmy Mulville, Ryan Stiles and Wayne Brady
Will you be tuning in to the CW this summer to check out the show? I’m sure I’m not the only fan of the original series who’s looking forward to seeing these fellows older and hopefully funnier and at the same time I hope they’ve updated the show a bit and improved the stage and props. Some of them were a bit cheesy back in the day.
What’s your favorite show on TV that’s been cancelled that you’d love to see resurrected?
so a show no one watched on a network no one watches…. This is why tv is dying all that money and not an orginal idea???? hate it!!!!!
My daughter told me this show is coming back. She loves watching the older ones on YouTube. This is a great family show that gets us all laughing. It’s nice to see Ryan, Wayne and Collin all back together again.
this is a GREAT show
I do remember this show when it was on. I like when previous shows come back especially game shows. Wayne Brady is funny and I would like to see him in this. I wish they would bring back more game shows. At night I enjoy watching them, there is not enough on lately.
I am am so thrilled to hear the show is coming back! My hubby and I never missed it. I hope with a new host, the show would be just as good. Can’t wait to tell my hubby it’s coming back 🙂
We never missed it when Drew Carey hosted. I’m glad to hear it’s coming back… love that Wayne Brady! He hilarious and quite a good singer.
I’m not sure it’ll be the same without Drew. I’m hoping the new host can keep up with their antics 🙂
I liked this show a lot. This is exciting news that the CW is going to resurrect this show, but with Aisha Tyler. I think she will be good, and it will be interesting to see what happens with these new shows!
It sounds like a fun show. I’ve never seen it (but I don’t watch much TV and don’t have cable)
