Whose Line Is It Anyway? Green Screen Show |
Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza is an improvisational comedy television program that aired in the United States on the Game Show Network. The program was hosted by Drew Carey and was produced at the Hollywood Theatre at the MGM Grand in Paradise, Nevada. The show premiered on April 11, 2011 at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
Similar to Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Drew Carey's Green Screen Show, the show features the performers acting in improvisational comedy sketches in front of a live audience using audience suggestions and audience participation. Many of the U.S. Whose Line alumni return for this show. Each episode consists of three or four improv games, each one introduced by a different cast member, with each game taking up an entire segment. Unlike Whose Line, the show is filmed at the MGM Grand Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada. Instead of Drew Carey hosting and awarding "points", Drew is now a performer and takes part in games, and other performers take turns in "hosting" a game.
On August 25, 2011, Drew Carey posted on his Twitter account that GSN would not be ordering any more episodes of Improv-A-Ganza, announcing that the show was effectively cancelled. Heather Campbell, one of the cast members, stated "Improv-A-Ganza was attracting a totally different demographic than the other shows on GSN; so while the ratings were good, it was hard to get the advertisers for." From November 16, 2012 to January 4, 2013, reruns of the show aired on GSN. The 2-hour time slot allowed GSN to air the entire 40 episodes in a 10-week stretch.Laff acquired the rights to the show in 2015 and airs the show on Saturday nights.
