3.09 (Compilation) - Details
"Hello and welcome to this special compilation edition of Whose Line is it Anyway?. This is made up of
bits and pieces which were too long, too short or too late to fit in our regular programme, but which we
were too keen, too brave or too mean to throw away. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Take it away... Clive."
"In America"
"Hello and welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway? in America, and for British viewers I should explain that
America is that country under Canada where blue jeans and Bruce Springsteen come from. But improvising on
the show tonight we have first of all from England the lovely Josie Lawrence. Next from California the,
well, even lovelier Ryan Stiles. And then from Interplay in New York, the loveliest Christopher Smith.
And finally, also from Interplay, the superlative Jim Meskimen. Ladies and gentlemen, the contestants!"
"Hello and welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway? In America, where of course we'll be improvising on the
right-hand side of the road, when we aren't getting on the wrong side of the audience. And tonight the
show features Channel 4's very own pet American megastar, Mike McShane. Then even more at home here in
New York, New York... New Yorker Mark Cohen. Next we have the coolest dude on the West Coast of America
since the Beach Boys last took a cold shower, Greg Proops. And finally from the exotic Scottish quarter
of London, England... actor, writer, comedian and boy genius, John Sessions. Ladies and gentlemen, the
contestants!"
"Welcome to...ah... welcome to ... ah... welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway? in America, coming to you
not from London, England, but from New York, America. And improvising their way through the core of the
Big Apple tonight, we have from the Old Country the all-singing, all-dancing, all-wonderful Josie
Lawrence. And then from L.A. the all-6 foot 6 of Ryan Stiles. Then from Los Angeles the all-Canadian
all-action Colin Mochrie. And finally the all-conquering, all-compassing, all-star Mike McShane. Ladies
and gentlemen, the contestants!"
"Hello and welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway? in America, land of the free, home of the brave and the
U.S. of A. And improvising bravely tonight, if not completely freely, we have first of all from Interplay,
here in New York, the exotically named Christopher Smith. And then from England, a member of the county
of Surrey's tiny Danish community, the amazing, and indeed tiny, Sandi Toksvig. And next, another New York
Interplayer, arguably the best impressionist since Claude Monet, Jim Meskimen. And last, but far from
least, the greatest of the San Francisco Giants, our very own Mike McShane. Ladies and gentlemen, the
contestants!"
"Hello and welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway? in America, for the funniest thing in transatlantic comedy
since TWA last published their financial results. But improvising tonight we have first of all the most
talented person I've ever met called John Sessions, John Sessions. And joining him, from Los Angeles, the
crazy world and crazy red buttons of Archie Hahn. Also from Los Angeles - L.A. must be empty tonight! -
we welcome Ryan Stiles. And finally actor, singer, poet and performer all rolled into one and a half,
Mike McShane. Ladies and gentlemen, the contestants!"
"Welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway? in America, and indeed we've got a pretty well all-American show
tonight. Even I've been going around telling people to have a nice day, when I haven't been mugging
joggers in Central Park. But the real Americans we've got here, first of all we've got Greg Proops, the
thinking man's Elvis Costello. Next, George McGrath, the thinking man's Greg Proops. Then Ryan Stiles,
the unthinking woman's blind date. And finally, then man whose continued existence defies all thought,
Mike McShane. Ladies and gentlemen, the contestants!"
"Hello and welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway? The New York Tapes, for the greatest thing in
Anglo-American co-operating since the DeLorean sports car. And improvising their way down the road
tonight we have first of all the Rolls Royce of English performers, Josie Lawrence. Then from San
Francisco, once hailed as the Ford Edsel of American comedy, Greg Proops. Then the ever-popular compact
economy joke-mobile, Sandi Toksvig. And finally the Greyhound bus of song, dance, comedy and drama, Mike
McShane. Ladies and gentlemen, the contestants!"
3.17 (Compilation) - Details
"Hello and welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway? in America, now even in New York we managed to record some
games which we weren't able to cram into the regular shows, because they were either too British, too
American, or too difficult for the producer to understand at the first time of watching. So here's a
selection of some of the bits which didn't quite get away."
