First I've heard of it - have I missed something?

OK, so I'm the only one who cares about this...:)
But...according to an interview with Colin Mochrie, he and Brad Sherwood are scheduled to be on the new Whose GSN Is It Anyway (or whatever it ends up being called). Mochrie also says Ryan Stiles may be a part of it if schedules permit.

Actually, the title's already been announced - "Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza."

Bad name aside, I'm mostly looking forward to it.

Re: a tweet from Colin Mochrie today, the show will start on GSN in March.

If GSN's ad folks were on the ball, the tag line would be "this time, the points WILL matter!"

GSNN and Buzzerblog have an exact date of March 28. It will run five days a week.

EDIT: The announcer will be Rich Fields, again according to Buzzerblog.

So to recap, Fields was dropped from The Price Is Right because they wanted somebody funny to play off Drew on a show that, in all its history, has never really been thought of as a comedy program.  However, on a show that's set up to be a comedy program, he'll fit right in.  That about right?
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Yeah, basically. Don't know why, because Drew's Line (and its Brit predecessor) never had an announcer. Wonder if they're also bringing back Laura Hall and her All-Short Haired Girl Orchestra.

I'd hit it so hard, her piano would need tuning.

She can tighten my fiddle strings any day of the week.

\Or did Linda Taylor play fiddle?  Either way...

Fiddle was a lady named Candy Girard, who appeared on (I think) one episode.

I wonder what time they will air this show. The time and/or the lead-in show may prove to be a factor in the show's success. No doubt the show will be repeated later in the day.
