Good evening and welcome to Whose Line Is
It Anyway?Tonight's performers, his name
rhymes with Girwood, Brad Sherwood. Her
name rhymes with Gil Mama, Karen
Maruyama. His name rhymes with Orange,
Colin Mochrie. And the world's tallest
short guy, Ryan Stiles. And I'm your
host, Drew Carey. Come on, let's have
some fun.
Hi, welcome to Whose Line is in Anyway,
the show where everything's made-up and
the points don't matter. For those of you
unfamiliar with the show, what happens is
our four performers are going to come
down here and they're going to totally
improvise everything you need to see
tonight. It's all made-up right on the
spot. They haven't seen any of the
suggestions before the show. And we also
get suggestions from the audience during
the show. And at the end of each game, I
give them points, which don't mean a
thing because at the end, I'm just going
to pick the guy I like the best or the
girl I like the best. And
they get to do a little something withme.
You ready to get it started?First
game we're gonna do is a game called
Let's Make a Date. This is for all four
of you, and Ryan, Colin, and Brad are
gonna be contestants on a dating-type
show, hoping to be picked by the
beautiful and lovely Karen. And each of
them has been given a strange
characteristic or identity. This is the
first time they're seeing whatever's in
these envelopes here. And Karen's gonna
ask them questions about whether they
should go on a date or not, and try to
guess who they are at the end of the
round. So if you're ready, Karen, off you
go. Hi, Bachelor number one.
I'm a really fun-loving person. If you
were a MAC lipstick color, what would you
be?
I would be brown like the earth.
A good solid earth tone, but you
shouldn't wear so much makeup, you harpy.
You're funny, you use big words.
Bachelor number two, if I were Monica
Lewinsky, where would you take me?
Ohh Well, there's so
many ways.
God, you sound sexy. Um,
bachelor number three?Yes. What's your
idea of a really fun afternoon daytime
kind of date?Ohh I'd just like to,
you know, spend some time with you. I
think that's the main thing. You seem
like kind of a a hard egg, but I think I
could crack you-- crack her. cr*cker?
cr*cker?Oh!
God, you-- I
can't wait to get back to you. Bachelor
number one, what's your favorite color
and why?Another color question. Boy, I'll
tell you, the color of a willow switch
across your behind is what you need.
I'll raise your bond if you know what I'm
talking about. Okay, I like it,
love. Okay.
Gosh, you know what?Bachelor number two,
favorite garden plant. Oh,
yay!
Ahhh! Ahhh!
He's speaking in tongues.
And finally, fashion number three. Hello.
Bloomingdale's... Hello.
Who's a pretty girl?Hi. Who's a pretty
girl?Me.
I like that answer. I even asked the
question. I like that answer. I like that
answer. I like that answer. Hello.
Okay, Karen, you want to guess who they
are?I think bachelor number one thought
he was Sean Connery, yeah. No. NoNo
You want to try it one more time so you
won't look so bad?He was Sean Connery.
No, he was... James Bond. He was an Amish
guy. Ohh It's
so easy to get him confused, I know.
James Bond. My wagon turns into aFerrari.
Number two had no jaw.
No, he was a guy in a dentist's chair.
That was close. Okay, and number three
thought he was a parrot. Yeah!
All right! Well, 1,000 points to Karen
for that round, even though she got two
wrong, I think she was cute.
Now we go on to a game called Song
Styles. This is for Brad with Laura Hall
on the piano. Laura Hall, how about it?
Brad is gonna make up a song about
somebody in the audience. Turn right
behind me, and is there anybody here in
the audience who would like a song
made-up about him?You, ma'am, with your
hand raised. What's your name?Naroshi.
Naroshi. What do you do, Naroshi?What do
you do?You go
to UC San Diego, and what's your major?
Um, political science and economics. So,
Naroshi, who majors in political science
and economics.
Naroshi?Yeah. Naroshi. Probably rhyme in
that.
And, uh, he'll be singing in the style of
a rock love ballad.
I don't know what to do I'm
failing out of
political science
Neuroshie
I don't know what to say But
let us two go away
to France And sail
on the Reef Goshie

funk and oshi

I want to sail across the
seven seas And the
Pacific Ocean
Road Sea
Oh Why?
Couldn't you have an easy ribbon
name
I have an easier time in this
game Niroshi
We're so closely Niroshi
Thank you, Niroshi. That was great. Thank
you very much.
Now we're going to a game called Daytime
Talk Show. This is for all four
performers. Brad, you're gonna be the
host of a daytime talk show. Ryan and
Karen, you're gonna be members of the
public appearing on the show. And Colin,
you're gonna be a guy in the audience who
asks questions. However, the subject
isn't a normal talk show subject. We're
gonna do, um.. We need a fairy tale or a
nursery rhyme from the audience. Alice in
Wonderland! Okay, that's
fine. That's fine. Alice in Wonderland,
that's a good one. Brad, Alice in
Wonderland is the subject, so whenever
you're ready, go ahead. Hello, and
welcome to Alice Doesn't Live Here
Anymore. Where does she live?We're not
really sure. We're trying to track her
down. So let's go to our first guest and
find out what you know about Alice and/or
Wonderland. Sir?I'm Lyle Moon. I own
Lyle's Glassware. And where's that
located, sir?5th and Johnson. And how
do you relate?I sold her the mirror.
Ah, the looking glass, as it were. Well,
I didn't know that. When I sold it to
her, I thought it was a mirror, otherwise
I would've charged her more. Now, how
tall was she at the time?5 inches or 14
feet?Well, I'm 6'6, so it's hard to
judge. All right. We'll get back to
you in just a minute. Please tell us who
you are and why you're here. Yeah, I'm
Lily Ha. She lives in my building, and
she has not paid her rent!
Oh, he's popping down rabbit hole, Lily.
I don't have it, I'm in a rabbit hole.
Yeah, right. Let me ask you, if
if I could ask you a question, sir, where
in town do you have this building?I
wait till I tell my husband, you call me
a hymn. Ohh I got
confused by the mustache, I'm sorry.
Alice still owes me for half the mirror
as well, so I would have to agree with
the Dutch girl.
Yeah! Well, actually, I'm Flemish.
Are you Flemish?Yeah! Maybe you could get
a hanky. All right, let's go to the
audience, shall we?Ohh Let's see, I'm
gonna take some questions. Yes, the
effeminate man right there.
Hi. I just want to say,
I think it's horrible that Tweedledum and
Tweedledum are over there. I've lured
this poor girl into a life of going
through mirrors and meeting strange
people. I mean, what is that?What is that?
I I have a good mind to come down there.
Yeah, you come in. You want a piece. You
want a piece. You want a piece?You want
me to go?You wanna go?You wanna... You
wanna take?
Well, as you can see, I don't think we're
gonna be able to solve this today. Tune
in next week because Alice doesn't live
anymore. Hey,
don't go away. We'll be right back with
more Whose Line Is It Anyways?Stay right
where you are.
Hey, welcome back. is it anyway?
And as a special treat for all you people
watching on an American-made television,
we're in 3-D.
Now we come to a game called props. Uh,
now we're gonna divide you into two
pairs. Colin and Ryan, this is, uh,
your prop right here.
I know. And, uh, Karen and Brad, this is
your prop. And the idea is they're gonna
make up as many things as they can with
these things, and I'll buzz them off in
between. And Ryan and Colin, whenever
you're ready, you can go ahead and start.
Well, you got a table for Elvis?
Iceberg! Cling, cling!
Because it is the people's
money.
I'll warn the other beavers.
I think they look very natural. Do
we have a table for Madonna?
Hi! It
must have been a heavy car.
Spock, put the tribbles down and help me
with the sh*t
Thank you very much.
I wasn't gonna give points to Brad, but
he gave me a dirty look. I'm not. Uh, in
case you were wondering, I was using the
doorbell instead of the buzzer, 'cause
the buzzer is broken.
Now let's go on to a game called Film
Dub. This is for Ryan, Karen and Colin.
You're going to make up dialogue for a
film scene. You'll be able to see it on
the monitor here. You'll be able to see
it at home. You're going to make up lines
for all the characters. And the scene I'd
like you to improvise is One Day in the
West. It's because I love
you. I've always loved you, and you know
that. It's long... Well, you say that a
lot, but you know what?I'm worried about
Bob. I really wish you wouldn't interrupt
me in the middle of a sentence. I was
saying how much I love you. I love you
more than the sun comes. Yeah, that's
right. I love ya. There's something wrong
with Bob. I tell you, he's not himself.
He's...
Forget about Bob. It's you and me, baby.
Ohh I'm the sheriff. I can do whatever I
want in this style. I love you.
I... I love... Ohh Look at this
haircut you gave
me! Look
what he did! Look what he did!
I asked for a perm! A perm, a perm, a
perm! No, no.. Geez, you let the
lungs rod in too long. Oh, I'm
sorry. I
guess I just got excited. Oh, God. Hey,
hello. Oh, my God. Oh, that was some
kiss. And your hat's... Oh, man.
I'll give 100 points to Colin 'cause he
doesn't get to talk about perms often.
Wow, man, oh, man. Now
we go... Now we go on to a game
called Sportscasters. This is for all
four of you. Brad and Karen, you're gonna
be sportscasters, like an ESPN type of
thing, and you're gonna be commentating
on an everyday event acted out by Ryan
and Colin. We'll act out the event in
slow motion. Ryan and Colin, you
are rival waiters.
Brad and Karen, whenever you're ready, go
ahead and start. Hello, and welcome to
ESPN's Waiting Tables
Championships. I'm Carl
Orangutang, here with Karen Chimpanzee,
and it's going to be quite the
competition today. Isn't it, Karen?
That's right. We're really excited. So
let's find out where the competition
is gonna start. Oh, looks like they're
already setting down the beverages.
They've got water, and oh... Looks like
Ryan has something up his sleeve. Uh-oh!
He does! A fist! Oh, that's right! He's
doing the the nose corkscrew trick.
That's right! Colin's got a loose grip
on his potato skins. Yowza, yowza.
Oh, it looks like he's doing the old
doctoring the drink trick. Yes, he
learned this when he was butter churning
on an Amish farm. Ouch! That's gotta
hurt! They don't teach this in sommelier
school. I've never seen that.
Ohh It's the carbonation mine freeze.
Ohh
I must say that Colin is a brute and so
is the champagne. That's right, Colin's
going for the zucchini. Oh, he's
gotten surprised for the bear. Hot
d'oeuvre cheese, and luckily there's a
microwave all in there to reheat his
head. Ohh Hope he has no metal in his
skull. ohh
He looks like Sweeney Todd from the
Broadway musical. That's going to be
painful. Yeah, that's going to hurt. What
has he got here?Oh, ohh he's laying down
some very expensive
cutlery. And what's he got-- oh!
Speaking of cutlery, oh, all hands on
down. The
old back door, Chris.
Hey, what do you know?Now that we finally
found an American one, it's working
again. God bless
America.
Okay, now we go on to a game called...
Hoedown.
Everybody's favorite game with the help
of Laura Hall on the piano. What I need
from the audience. Let's take the ignored
section over there, then we get done.
I need something about modern life that
annoys you. Something about modern life
that annoys you.
Uh, kids at a movie theater is pretty
good.
Iron Tourist. That's a pretty good one,
Tourists. So, Laura, why don't you start
the Tourist or Kids in a Movie Theater
hoedown.
Tourists are the one in shorts with
sandals on their feet When I drive
around, I run them over in the street
I do that for my town's own
protection I am singing a song for the
ignored section
Tourists from Japan are really the
best. They're used to traveling
without any rest. I look
just like them. Ah, what the heck?
Except that I don't have a great big
camera on my neck.
The other day I was at a movie. The kids
were all loud. They were making noise and
throwing stuff. What an ugly crowd. I
told them there's something, and then
they all cried. I ruined the movie.
Told them Bambi's mother died.
I hate it at the movies When all the kids
scream I have to admit that is
really not my scene But one thing's for
sure An usher I will not call I
just sit in front of them I'm over six
feet tall I'm over six feet tall
That was great. Come go away. We'll be
right back with more of Whose Lion is it
Anyway, right after these commercials.
Hey, welcome back to Whose Lion is it
Anyway. The next runners, Colin Ryan.
Colin Ryan. I
have nothing at all to do with the
points. I just like them best. And we're
gonna play a game called Stand, Sit, Ben.
In this game, one of us must always be
standing, one must always be sitting, one
must always be bending over. And if
anybody changes positions, the other ones
have to make up for it. And, Brad, what's
our scene?You are having a showdown in a
Wild West saloon.
All righty.
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling.
This town's not big enough for the two of
us. So what are you saying?
I'm saying we ought to settle this like
men, you knowWait a minute! I don't want
any fights in here. I want you to be the
ref. All right, I'll accept that job.
But I ain't gonna be fair, I'll tell you
that. All right.
Now, I don't want any problems in the
bar. I'm just gonna put away all the
liquor. We'll go at the count of three.
You cheat. Okay. Cheet-ally, ding, ding,
ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Uh..
Please, you thank me enough, stop
balling. All right, are you ready?
Yeah, I'm ready. All right. On the count
of three, you both turn around and walk
the opposite ways. What?On
the count of three?On the count of three,
you stand back-to-back and you both go
opposite ways. So on the count of
three... Wait, I want that way. Okay, let
me be here. You've got to stand
back-to-back, don't you understand me?
Please stand back-to-back. Yes. How much
clearer can I make this?All right,
back-to-back.
I'm back-to-back. Well, that turns
in my way. Take three paces. One,
two, three. Turn around and fire. Oh,
God, you got me there. Oh, oh, that got
me fed. Hey,
thanks for watching Whose Viners Anyway.
We'll see you another time. Goodnight.
