Now that Channel 5 US have started showing the best show on TV I thought we could have our own little thread about it. Also, I thought Id start a poll whose your favorite contestant? Ive based it on the regular contestants and not the guests...
Shame the C5 show is edited. By the Way add your favorite You Tube clips of the show in this thread also.
In case you need help in remembering who they all are:
I used to like Whose line when it used to be on Channel 4. Ryan and Colin were always the funniest. I preffered Anderson to Carey as presenter though. Although Anderson always used to give Tony Slatterry the win, who was **** IMO (until he went loopy).
Is the Whoopi mentioned Whoopi Goldberg? If so I'll have to be looking out for it, infact I will anyway, when's it on?
Ive finally got to seee some of this. This is really funny stuff, although some of the american jokes go over my head a bit. Wayne Brady is brilliant though so I voted for him.
I used to love the original UK version when it started back in 1988 hosted by Clive Anderson who was brilliant in the role and involved the likes of John Sessions, Paul Merton, Stephen Fry, Josie Lawrence, Tony Slattery, Sandi Toksvig, etc and the occasional "Big" comedy name like Peter Cook, Gryff Rhys Jones, Rory Bremner, Jimmy Mulville, Rory McGrath.
After a few years the Yanks took over and it got stale with the same faces every week. As much as I liked Greg Proops, Ryan Stiles and Colin Mocherie when they first showed up, seeing them do the same thing all the time spoiled the show for me. I only saw one episode of the US version - no, tell a lie I didn't even last a whole episode, it did that little for me.
Withe the addition of Wayne Brady and Chip Esteen this show has now eclipsed my favorite UK moment, in the Party Quirks game when John Session was a thunderbird puppet...
I havent seen much of the UK version, I used to watch the US version all the time back on Austar (Australian equivalent to Sky). Also helped I was a huge fan of The Drew Carey Show, so Drew and Ryan always made me laugh. I didnt know it was still running. May have to get my hands on some episodes.
BUMPED because DAVE have finally gone right back to the first series of the UK Whose Line from 1988 with John Sessions!! 7pm-8pm Tuesdays to Fridays and repeated on DAVE + 1 and during the day! :thumbs:
I've been watching these too. What I didn't realize was that Colin was on this way back, he even had hair. There is even a very very young Chip Esteen on some episodes too.
