Whose Line Is it Anyway?

[Cactus Drags]

I've recently been watching old episodes of this, circa 2001-ish. Just wondering what the big deal with Carol Channing is? And why does Ryan in particular seem to ahve a problem with her?

[Evil Chase K]

She's old and annoying. That's pretty much it. And Ryan nails her voice perfectly.

[The Hardcore Canuck]

They like to use people that a fair number of the audience will know who they are, as well as they like to have people that the actors can impersonate well. Which is why they keep using the same people, like Carol Channing and John Wayne.

I remember when Carol Channing made a guest appearance on the Drew Carey Show. That was good stuff.

[Summers]

I love that show.

Ryan is a god.

[Guest Landshark]

I love that show. Remember when he did Carol and his head kept running into things and he broke that glass light around Drew's desk

The episode that made me ask was the one where they have three props and whoever has the sword is braveheart, the binoculars Jimmy Stewart, and the canteen Carol Channing, and there was a sort of knowing look on Stiles' face, and something Drew Carey said suggested there was some kind of history, or a running joke or something, I s'pose.

That show ruled. The best one was with Robin Williams. Funny ass shit.

[Guest Future Shock]

I remember that. Fucking awesome.

Topic: "What Robin Williams is Thinking"

Robin: "What the hell am I doing here, I actually have a career"

Bwhahhaha.

I've only ever seen it when I was in Canada, is it shown in the UK?

Apparantly. In fact, I believe the original version was British with Drew Carey traded in for Clive Anderson and a couple of Brit improv artists. That version had Ryan and Colin too, which is easily where the show's best moments were, no matter what side of the Atlantic it was on.

Funniest moment I ever saw was Colin doing a hoedown (I think it was about Heart Disease), and after the first line, he just threw himself to the floor, as if he'd had a heart attack. I was in stitches for ages (as was Ryan, who had to follow it up and couldn't)

All the British shows I see on Comedy Central blow balls.

I don't laugh much at all, Colin's kinda funny on it, but Ryan's not nearly as good as he is on the American version.
