A successful {{Improv}} slash SketchComedy slash PanelShow that originated on British radio before moving to [[ChannelFour Channel 4]] for a ten-year run. Clive Anderson hosted the show, in which four improvisational comics took suggestions from the audience to act out hilarious unscripted scenes. The performers could change radically with each episode, and because of the nature of the show, they could cobble together upwards of four episodes worth of material from one filming session.

An American version was created for Creator/{{ABC}} with Drew Carey as host that ran six seasons (filming actually stopped in 2001 during the show's fourth season, though they filmed so much material that four more seasons aired after filming stopped). Because of the wider broadcasting of American television this show is better known than the British original. In the US, the British version was an early staple of Comedy Central, back in the earlier portion of the 1990s. Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie were regular performers on the British version (who between them gave us much HoYay) and on this version they appeared in every episode. Ryan and Drew (who worked together on ''TheDrewCareyShow'') also provided the show with an ample supply of FoeYay. From the second season onwards, Wayne Brady was added to the regular line-up, which essentially launched his career. The fourth player varied, the most common performers being Brad Sherwood, Greg Proops, Jeff Davis, Kathy Greenwood or Chip Esten. Throughout the run, Laura Hall and Linda Taylor would provide musical accompaniment, becoming regular [[AccidentalPun players]] themselves as the show would feature at least one musical game with Wayne (and occasionally Chip, Brad or others), and one Hoedown or Irish Drinking Song.

A {{revival}} of the show, hosted by Aisha Tyler, began airing on Creator/TheCW on July 16, 2013. Apart from the new host, a revamped set, a few new games, and some new performers, the format is largely the same, with Colin, Ryan, and Wayne as regular performers and a rotating "fourth-seat," which includes some of the familiar fourth-seat performers as well as fresh faces. Laura and Linda also reprise their roles as the show's musicians. The only major difference in the show's format is that the CW version has special celebrity guests on every episode to help out with a couple games and the credits reading. The revival has been renewed through its second season.

It's a successful {{Improv}} slash SketchComedy slash PanelShow that originated on British radio before moving to [[ChannelFour Channel 4]] for a ten-year run.
