For the first time in The CW’s history, the network is programming a Saturday night schedule. Whose Line Is It Anyway? appears to be the perfect show to lead the night but, will the series’ ratings grow or shrink? Could Whose Line Is It Anyway? be cancelled or is it sure to be renewed for season 19 (the 11th on The CW)? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A comedy improv series, the Whose Line Is It Anyway? TV show 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, Tyler doles out points to the performers and she then declares a winner at the end of every episode (not that the points matter). Guests in season 18 (the 10th on The CW) include Jeff Davis, Keegan-Michael Key, Nyima Funk, Greg Proops, Heather Anne Campbell, Kevin McHale, and Laila Ali.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
5/15 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.

For comparisons: Season 17 of Whose Line Is It Anyway? on The CW averaged a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 858,000 viewers.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Whose Line Is It Anyway? TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a 19th season?
*5/19/22 update: Whose Line Is It Anyway? has been renewed for a 19th season by The CW.
Please keep it going !! Absolutely love it!!!
It’s hard competition out there.. but I stream it later on
I’m a little disappointed last episode 11/20/21. The panda bear seen’ Here in Kansas City, Misssouri if you were trying to hide what was taken place with Colin it did not work. The camermen are usually good about bleeping, looks like a total verbal and picture miss. Sorry exposure of animals sometimes can get ugly no matter the size or maybe the people watching..
Funniest show on TV. These guys are amazing. Keep it going.
Should be renewed love this show it is so funny
