Who’s Line Is It Anyway

Introduction:

Whose Line Is It Anyway? (sometimes abbreviated to Whose Line? or WLIIA?) is a short-form improvisational comedy TV show. Originally a British radio programme, it later moved to television as a series made for Britain’s Channel 4 before being produced in the United States as well.

The show consists of a panel of four performers and comedians who create characters, scenes and songs on the spot, in the style of short-form improvisation games. Topics for the games are based on either audience suggestions or predetermined prompts from the host. Both the British and the American shows take the form of a fake game show, in which the host arbitrarily assigns points and randomly chooses a winner at the end of each episode.
