Drew Carey's New Game Show ("Whose Line Is It Anyway?")

Sitcom sensation DREW CAREY always does things differently - and that includes hosting a game show that's not exactly a game show! "Whose Line Is It Anyway?," a hilarious new version of the popular British improvisational comedy show, is coming to ABC this summer, hosted by Drew. Not a talk show, not a sitcom and sort of a game show, "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" is a unique concept to American TV, although viewers might have already seen the British version on our own Comedy Central cable channel. Four talented actor/comedians perform completely unrehearsed, unscripted skits in front of a studio audience. Carey will give the group a variety of situations, with some contributions from the audience, then it's up to the performers to try to make something funny out of it. Since it is totally improvised, anything can happen!

RYAN STILES, "Lewis" on "The Drew Carey Show" and a regular on the British version of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?," stars as one of the featured performers. Each week, he'll be joined by Canadian actor COLIN MOCHRIE and a rotating roster of actor/comedians for a half-hour of non-stop laughs.

Other performers scheduled to appear include WAYNE BRADY, GREG PROOPS and BRAD SHERWOOD. Multitalented musician LAURA HALL is on hand to provide an equally improvised musical score for each scene, when required (e.g., a song about plumbers which must be sung to a reggae beat).

The British version of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" has won numerous awards, including four CableACE Awards (Best International Comedy or Series) and an International Emmy.

Listen as contestants struggle to keep a conversation in the form of questions!

Dan Patterson, Denise O'Donoghue, Jimmy Mulville, Drew Carey and Ryan Stiles are the executive producers of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Mark Leveson is producer. The show was created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, and is produced by Riverside Productions, Inc. in association with Hat Trick Productions, LTD and distributed by Warner Bros. Television.

So, this summer, if you're looking for some truly unpredictable television for a change (or, at the very least, something that's not a rerun), check this show out on ABC this summer!
