Well, basically, on 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' they have four contestants and a host. The four contestants preform things that are written down on cards, but most things are audience suggestions.
The thing that makes this show so interesting is that everything is improvied on the spot. So, more or less, anything goes. It's nice because TV has become so predictable now-a-days, and it's nice to be hit with something spontaneous every once in a while.
They unfourtuantly have very, very picky censors, so we don't get to see half of, what I'm betting is the really good stuff. The censors will bleep words just because of the over all idea of the sentence. Like they bleeped the word 'cat' once just because of what came after it. Of course, it was a big 'no-no', so all of the other contestants were painfully trying not to laugh. Even the host was having trouble keeping a straight face.
Over all, if you love to laugh, watch this show, and I almost guarentee (tip : don't trust me on things that I can't even spell.) that it will be the best time you have had in a while.
Below I have a complete table of who has spent time in front of the camera. Please feel free to let me know if I've missed anyone. Also, the 'Still Playing?' colunm is new. It used to be the number of appearances, but, as you can imagine, it became a little hard to manage. They are still sort of in order according to the number of appearances.
A special thanks to Dean and his page.
