Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza on GSN aka "New Whose Line"

General Discussion
1

For anyone who was a fan of Whose Line Is It Anyway? that wasn’t already aware, GSN has just started airing a new improv show from Drew Carey called Improv-A-Ganza. Like Whose Line, the show is entirely improvised, but it does have a bit less structure than Whose Line, it’s more of an improv stage show (which makes sense, considering the show on GSN is in fact a 2 hour stage show condensed to 20 minutes). GSN is putting the episodes up on their website, which you can watch here:

So far, the show has been great, all the cast from Whose Line is just as sharp as ever. The main low point was having Charlie Sheen on the second episode completely ruin the last bit.

Anyways, watch, discuss, etc.

Also, holy crap, Drew Carey looks odd now.

Not really, he’s always been a fat Jerry Springer.

Compare Drew on Whose Line to Drew now. The only thing still recognizable about him is the face, and really it’s only because of the glasses.

But anyway, new episode airing in 30 minutes for those interested.

4

The format and venue has changed but they still got it.

I actually looked up Drew Carey’s net worth and he’s worth 165 million WTF?! He must really love improv comedy to still be producing shows like this.

5

Honestly, with people like Collin, Ryan, and co I’d love it just as much.

6

Show is good, I wish Wayne was a full timer though. Drew has slimmed down since the last time I saw him; i’mma try to get tickets when I go to Vegas!

7

waynes got a show in vegas lol.

8

nice to see everyone again. drew still sucks at improv…but i kinda miss the lesbian dyke looking couple that did the music for them.

9

Fuck yes. Yes. A thousand times yes!

10

They weren’t a couple, and the pianist wasn’t a lesbian. (can’t comment for the guitarist)

11

you kiddin me? he lost ridiculous amounts of weight.

12

case of too many cooks IMO. Whose line had a better format, and more time. This is good but could do without some of the lower tier guys there. It should be permanently Ryan, Colin, Wayne and Greg

13

hmm I’ll have to check this out, whose line was amazing.

14

I think time is the only real thing that hurts the show. Like I mentioned before, they take a 2 hour Vegas show and cut it down to 20 minutes, so that really only leaves time for a few games. I think the only thing the show really needs is to be extended to an hour timeslot.

15

If ever there is a taping while I’m in Vegas for Evo, I am not missing this.

16

hahaha that would be crazy if srkers got in an episode.

17

Charlie Sheen was a natural. :rofl:

18

Charlie Sheen looks around confused
"Charlie Sheen fucked a dead hooker"
Everyone: LOL
"Charlie Sheen fucked a dead hooker"
Everyone: LOL…
"Charlie Sheen fucked a dead hooker"
Me: “get the fuck off the stage!”

Episode 3 is up on the website now.

Loved the bit with the kid on stage.
