Who's The Best on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

[CO Liberal]

1. Any English cast member

The American version.... it's just not funny.

[tridim]

3. So does that include

Colin, Ryan, Brad, Greg and Chip who were all part of the original English cast? I think the American version is just as funny, and in many cases funnier than the original. I do miss Tony Slattery, but that's about it. I could do without Drew though.

8. Thank You

I've always thought the American version was just as good as the British, and frequently better.

To each his/her own, of course, but sometimes I get the impression that the "American version is just not funny" remark (especially since WLIIA frequently has the same actors doing the same skits on either show!) is one of those "code phrases", like "I don't own a television", "I don't read fantasy novels", and "I simply won't go to a Hollywood film".

Of course I am a horrible working class lowbrow. I freely admit it.

11. I like the American version better too

To me Wayne Brady is the most talented as far as making stuff up on the fly, but Colin and Ryan are strong too.

[Bertha Venation]

14. Wayne Brady's great, but Colin Mocherie steals the show.

Can you imagine if Robin Williams & Wayne Brady were on the same stage? The set would probably explode.

[DivinBreuvage]

16. Robin Williams DID guest star on one episode

I can't remember if Wayne Brady was on that one or not; I do remember Colin and Ryan were. It was manic as one might expect, and while there were things that cracked me up as there always are, it wasn't quite as hilarious as I expected. Maybe I let my expectations get too high beforehand.

[Bertha Venation]

23. I missed it! Damitol!

18. Once again, I agree with you, Bertha.

Colin Mocherie does steal the show! :-)

[Bertha Venation]

22. And the poor guy... seems he's always the girl!

LOL

[tishaLA]

28. But when Richard Simmons guested

I actually lost weight from laughing so hard.

[Pithlet]

2. Colin

with Ryan coming in second. I like the English version of the show better, too. Is Drew Cary's version still on the air?

[CO Liberal]

4. I Think They're Bringing It Back In January

Once "Monday Night Football" has ended for the season.

[tridim]

5. Props for Brad Sherwood

Who is underrated IMO. His antics during 'song titles' and 'questionable impressions' always have me rolling.

BTW, I voted for Colin.

[UrbScotty]

6. WHA...?! I'm the only vote for Wayne Brady?!

By the way, the American version is much better. The British version was good; the US version is grest!

[tridim]

7. Great singer, not all that funny

IMHO.

[DivinBreuvage]

9. Kathy Greenwood!

Well, not really, but it was sad that she didn't have any votes, and apart from the musicians women don't get to show up there too often. My husband freaking loves her (or something).

[tridim]

10. I "or something" her too.

I wouldn't call it love, she's just extremely easy on the eyes. Laura Hall is great too.

[DivinBreuvage]

17. I wish they would let Laura Hall talk once in a while!

Though perhaps she doesn't want to.

[truthspeaker]

27. Kathy Greenwood is funny

not to mention HOT. But she doesn't strike me as having the improve skills of most of the others. But I'd be willing to change my mind - hey Drew, book Kathy more often!

[Elidor]

12. Colin is the funniest man on earth

He can have me rolling on the floor laughing with just a meaningful glance at the right moment.

[Whitacre D_WI]

13. Tony Slattery

n/t

[Screaming Lord Byron]

15. Paul Merton n/t

[cosmicdot]

25. yep, Tony Slattery

[jimbo fett]

26. I like Tony 'cause he's not afraid to push the censors.

[beyurslf]

19. I hope I voted for the right guy.

Is Wayne Brady that really cute African American guy? He always cracks me up.

[UrbScotty]

20. Yep, that's Wayne. (nt)

[beyurslf]

29. Oh good. I don't watch it often but he always leaves me rolling.

And it amazes me how he comes up with those songs.

[Terwilliger]

21. OK...none of you have watched this show...Ryan Stiles is a laugh riot

he can take any premise and be funny as all get-out...if he wasn't friends with Drew Carey he'd be alright

[Bertha Venation]

24. Yep. He is hilarious.

And yep. He could be a star (if that's what he wants) if he dumped no-talent Drew.

[UrbScotty]

30. "Whose Line?" is on most weeknights at 10 PM ET

Just so you know.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

31. My favorites in the American cast are

Colin Mochrie and Wayne Brady (for his hilarious song parodies--is there anyone he can't imitate?)

In the British cast, I liked Tony Slattery, John Sessions, and Josie Lawrence. I also liked the British moderator better.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

33. Clive Anderson? You can just tell he's a lawyer, can't you.

[Breezy du Nord]

32. I like Greg Proops

He was on Colin Quinn's show and is a liberal, but I think Wayne Brady's more talented. But Colin and Ryan are good too. Don't care for Drew, though.
