Improvisational comedy series "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", which had a successful eight-season run on ABC, is coming back to American television, this time on The CW.

The network has picked up a 10-episode order to air this summer.



Comedian Aisha Tyler, co-host of "The Talk", which airs on The CW sibling CBS, will host.

She succeeds Drew Carey, who emceed the ABC version that ran during The CW president Mark Pedowitz’s tenure at the network.



Returning are Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie, who starred on the ABC series.

The trio, along with a special guest each episode, will go through a series of spontaneous improv games.

After each round of improvisation, Tyler will dole out “points” to our four performers and declare a winner at the end of every episode.



"Whose Line", from Angst Prods and Hat Trick Prods, was co-created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson and is executive produced by Patterson, Mark Leveson, Jimmy Mulville, Stiles and Brady.

Glad to see Whose Line coming back, but IMO it just won't be the same without Drew Carey. Still, I'm gonna give it a chance.

I think it would be funny if Drew Carey made a cameo appearance on "Whose Line".

I hope Greg Proops shows up the show from time to time!

I hope they can keep things clean. Because when they do, this can be a very funny show. Nice to hear it's coming back- hope the new version of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" will be good.:) :cool:

I like Whose Line, but I bet it doesn't last. Seems like over the years there have been attempts at reviving it or having a similar format/players.

I hope it does last more than one summer.
