Holy crap! It's Jim Carrane! I was a student of yours at Second City wayyyy back in the day--like when Keegan was still there. You were a brilliant instructor. Nobody taught me more about improv!
It is easy when you are awesome
What does being sticky mean?
I love that show and what Laura brings to the table is wonderfully entertaining.
Not everyone thinks or praise such things to be jealous so your wrong my guy lol
Hot tea!
I always thought 💭 the host of the British version was kind of log 🪵 there’s a lot of times he ruins a funny scene 🎬 i don’t know I like America 🇺🇸 one more because Drew let it play out more and would join inn the fun or joke or become the joke so as a viewer I disagree I guess
I thought putting the camera in was a joke, best show ever to be on TV.
I love clever wordplay and "blink-and-you-miss-it" humor, but i also have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy hahahaha, so i love all iterations of the show
Im so glad you did this interview Greg Hollimon I have always thought he was a great actor and a good man, I wish Hollywood would give him more roles he is genuine and great! I would like to add I subscribed specifically because you interviewed Greg Hollimon.
So he doesn’t sing bc he sucks (I love them guys no hate)
It's so weird to have a face attached to the voice
Clive Anderson would constantly try to make jokes after every buzzer in the UK version. For example, he buzzed out Tony Slattery for sounding too high-pitched in "Questions Only". He also caused probably the shortest game of "Old Job, New Job" ever w/ Stephen Frost playing a former veterinarian. One game that I tend to prefer in the UK version though is "Helping Hands", b/c the jokes were way more than just feeding random foods to Ryan.
The lineup for the British version was so much better. When Caroline Quentin and Josie Lawrence guest starred it was absolutely brilliant 🫶
I met a Del Close student, a veteran actress and she said NEVER EVER DENY!
putting the camera in the time capsule and keeping the picture was soooo funny
Like many young people I had a principal Blackman poster hanging in my room for a few years.
He was probably my favorite character from the show.
A core memory of binge watching the Dvd series is when Principal Blackman is skating to Taylor Daynes Tell it to my heart so fricking cool and hilarious
Probably my second fav character on the that show after Jeri
jimmy fallon always ruined it
I love her! Such a talented woman!
Trebien😅
centré bien
I much prefer the UK version. The comedy is smarter.
Onyx Blackman was one of the best parts of Strangers With Candy.
The bust illustrations on the chalkboard and throughout the series...Blackmen ran a tight ship..Awesome character.
He wasn't asking the the most compelling questions but she was making a string of great points in a very short period of time.
im here just to see what the voice actor of eos from red facton sounds like
I've seen both versions of the show from their beginning. I find the differences between the two shows first lies with the audiences. British audiences tended to be less verbose and more polite, which gave the performers more chances to create laughs; British audiences also had more tame, more PG-rated suggestions. Second, the difference is in the style of comedy itself. British comedy, in any form, tends to be more theatrical, more subtle, and more language- based. American comedy is more physical, much more in-your-face. To be honest, I always thought the American version had much better suggestions and give Ryan and Colin more challenging characters and scenes. The UK version sometimes had better performers, like Josie Lawrence and Tony Thackery, although you can't beat Wayne Brady when it comes to the musical games.
Oh man, when he takes the picture & puts the camera in the time capsule it is so funny & on par with the humor of the show. I cant believe it was just an accident! Thats so funny!
fr I was just watching this episode last night and I was dying at the idea of the Principal valuing his selfie over an entire camera
I like the English version. I think Clive was a better host than Drew.
Del The Dungeonmaster.
He was my favorite guest in the old Whose Line. I noticed that he really likes to use slapstick comedy.
The U.S. version seemed a little more scripted to me and importantly, Clive over Drew allllll day. Not even close.
The points mattered In the uk.
Best advice I’ve ever heard.
Both the UK and US version are hilarious
Hi Laura Hall, Your music rocks!!! I miss WLIIA
Patrick McCartney means even more to me than the Maharishi. Cheaper, though. Very cheap. How I miss Monday tour-co...
And yet the "bugs on drugs" line actually made it to air.
David Cross lookalike
This reminds me of the "Hitler" episode. I loved Drew's line when someone did something related to Native Americans and Drew said something like, "can't say anything about Hitler, but make fun of Native Americans. Who gives a sh** about them?" He was seriously pissed that they were told not to do the bit about Hitler.
I want to see this creation myth.
I really prefer the British version.
Is this a clip of a longer interview? It seemed the interviewer may not have been familiar with SWC. So many questions I'd love to have heard answered.
you can hear the whole interview wherever you get your podcasts or watch the full interview on our patreon :)
yeah, it seems he didn't know SWC was a TV show..
Principal Blackman is such a hilarious character.
usa version is alot better n the hosts actually laugh!!
My mother is a Debbie Downer. HAHA....
I started out watching the British one. The American one is funny but I truly enjoyed the British one better.
