It’s hard to believe that this improv series has been around for more than 350 episodes. Still, this CW show keeps chugging along and doesn’t show any signs of stopping. Still, nothing lasts forever. Will Whose Line Is It Anyway? be cancelled or renewed for season 18? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
Whose Line Is It Anyway? is hosted by Aisha Tyler and each episode typically features Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, and a guest performer. The foursome tests their comedic reflexes by participating in a series of spontaneous improv games. After each round, Aisha will dole out points to the performers and declare a winner at the end of every episode (not that the points matter). Guests in season 17 (the ninth on The CW) include Jeff Davis, Jonathan Mangum, and Gary Anthony Williams.

Renew renew renew!!! Keeps me sane and life is good again after watching . Thank goodness Aisha is not like Drew. She’s funny and refreshing….
Aisha Tyler is no Drew Carey in fact she isnt funny at all and along with that PC has completely restricted this show from being hilarious to barley being funny. No wonder the ratings plummeting.
I’d love to see them change up improv cast once in while. The show great but i miss hell more flexible in the players like the British version of the show.
Love this show! Makes me laugh every time. Great stress reliever. Please please allow it to continue
