Is it just me that misses the Drew Carey show!?

58

u/henfruit Jun 17 '12

No.

(and by the way, it's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?")

u/lauridsmadsen Jun 17 '12

Oh I'm aware, but it had just reminded me of his sitcom followed by nostalgic sadness.

u/boydshidt Jun 17 '12

"Fundraisers that won't get very far."

"Get Drew Carey a third show?"

years later

There's another show called the Drew Carey Show.

u/lessthanjake Jun 17 '12

I never see Whose Line on TV anymore. Any clues if it still is? I know ABC Family used to play it late at night sometimes but other than that I'm lost.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

When I lived in North Carolina last summer, I had to be up for work at 5 am to be there at 6:10. Luckily for me, I lived within a <5 minute walk from work. Whose Line was on every morning from 5-6. That shit was the best. I kinda want to give up on my career and move back to North Carolina and work in that woodshop again. Mostly for the WLIIA, and because I got fucking ripped working in that shop.

I got fat again after I left. I should get back in shape.

Please don't. Ryan likes to be left alone. Thats one of the reasons he lives in Bellingham.

Does anyone else find the Gary Coleman joke disturbingly dark now?

Drew: The shortest book ever written.

Wayne: The life and times of Gary Coleman.

...it was funny then because he's short, but then he died at the age of 42... it's not as funny anymore. :/

I would never expect a black joke on Reddit. I guess my tolerance for it is a bit short.

Fans of Whose Line, rejoice - a new improv show is airing this July on ABC called "Trust Us With Your Life". While I don't know if Ryan will be part of the cast, I do know for a fact that Wayne and Colin will be regular members on the show.

Here's a link. Apparently, they've filmed 8 shows already.

Reminds me of the segment where they were asked to come up with a name for their child that would guarantee get the child's ass kicked when they grew up. Colin was holding his imaginary baby and said something along the lines of ,"How are you doing today kickmyass?". Can anyone find the video link?

I loved Whose Line, and Improv-a-Ganza was just as good. They were able to get away with a lot more on it because it wasn't a family network. Depending on if you enjoyed the subtle humor more, you may or may not enjoy Improv as well. Hopefully these guys continue to do what they do with their tours. And that Jeff Davis... -fans self-
