Whose Line Is It Anyway? (sometimes shortened to Whose Line? or WLIIA) is an American improvisational comedy television series, and is an adaptation of the British series of the same name. It originally aired on ABC and ABC Family from August 5, 1998 to December 15, 2007, hosted by Drew Carey. A revival of the show, hosted by Aisha Tyler, began airing on The CW on July 16, 2013.
Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie have been permanent performers on the show since the first season, while Wayne Brady, after several appearances in the first season, has also been a permanent performer since season 2 (with the brief exception of season 8 where he appeared in 17 of the 21 episodes). The fourth seat is occupied by a guest panelist.[1]
In May 2024, the show was renewed for a twenty-first season which premiered on September 6, 2024.[2]
