Whose Line Is It Anyway? premiered

August 5, 1998
The American spin-off of the British series Whose Line Is It Anyway?,


hosted by Drew Carey and starring Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, and Wayne Brady, premiered on ABC-TV, on this date.

The Whose line crew was such a well-oiled machine that they could shoot 9 to 12 episodes on a single weekend. Shooting a whole season took only three or four weekends every year. The cast revealed it was one of the reasons they were so great together and had great relationships with each other, because they didn’t have to spend that much time together.
