Team Sequoia is proud to select, in the
Comedy (Open) Category, Whose Line Is it Anyway?
From Wikipedia:
Quote:
Whose Line Is It Anyway? (abbreviated to Whose Line? or WLIIA) was a short-form improvisational comedy TV show. Originally a British radio programme, it moved to television in 1988 as a series made for Britain's Channel 4. Following the conclusion of the British run in 1998, ABC began airing a version for the United States audience.
The show consisted of a panel of four performers who create characters, scenes and songs on the spot, in the style of short-form improvisation games. Topics for the games were based on either audience suggestions or predetermined prompts from the host. Both the British and the American shows ostensibly took the form of a game show with the host arbitrarily assigning points and likewise choosing a winner at the end of each episode.

I'm not as familiar with the UK version, I've only seen a few episodes of it, but I loved the US version, with Drew Carey as the host. The combination of Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles was hilarious in my opinion, and I fully enjoyed both Greg Proops and Brad Sherwood as the fourth comedian.
One of my favourite segments was called "Hoe Down" done near the end of the show...here's a few good ones I found on Youtube:
Going Bald:
You're Ugly
