What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the The CW television network, Whose Line Is It Anyway? is hosted by Aisha Tyler. In each episode Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, and Colin Mochrie improvise, along with a guest performer. The cast tests their comedic reflexes by participating in improvisational games. At the end of each round, Tyler awards points for their work, and the points don’t count. Guests in season 16 (the eighth on The CW) include Jeff Davis, Charles Eston, Chris De’Sean Lee, Cedric the Entertainer, Ricki Lake, Jonathan Mangum, Jeanine Mason, Candice Patton, Greg Proops, Amber Riley, Adam Rippon, Brad Sherwood, and Gary Anthony Williams.

Telly’s Take
Will The CW cancel or renew Whose Line Is It Anyway? for season 17? The series is relatively inexpensive to produce, gets good ratings even in reruns, and has become a staple of The CW schedule.
