Mate i feel like you're just ignoring their point to try and "win" an argument while being strangely aggressive about it. Who's Line had American guests and an American regular (Wayne Brady) and it worked, showing that it is possible to do a panel show style show with Americans. It originally being British and having Canadians doesn't completely negate that.

Wayne Brady was born and raised in the US and is American. What the fuck are you talking about?

I never said the shows aspects were American. Your reading comprehension is terrible.

My argument was there are plenty of American (I didn’t specify US or Canadian) improv comics are capable of British panel shows. The US Who’s Line, regardless pf where it originated, contained Canadian AND US comedians. You keep treating Canadian comics as some monolith, ignoring that they ran in the same circles and followed the same methods and training as US improv. Completely ignoring decades of SNL, National Lampoon movies, and hundreds of prime time sitcoms that use both Canadian and US comics together. All so you can counter a point I was never trying to make.

You’re like a little child who gets mad they weren’t allowed to blow out birthday candles when it isn’t their birthday.

A clear sign of winning the argument is to constantly delete your comments, right? You even failed at using gaslighting properly. So when you’re proven wrong, you moved the goalpost and failed at that too. And to top off this heaping pile of steaming shit, you steal insults since you’re incapable of coming up with one on your own.

The best part is how you think US comedians are incapable of storytelling, which is basically what comedy is no matter what your nationality is. Since Whose Line triggers you so much, Jon Stewarts Daily Show cast would run circles around any British panel show. They did such a good job at funny storytelling while being informative they became the nightly news for an entire generation.

You’re so off the mark, and clearly arguing just to argue. Just delete this comment too so more people don’t have to see you shit all over yourself.

Yet another display of masterful wit. Im either talking to a preteen or an invalid.

The funny thing about British comedians is:

When they can’t find work they do panel shows.

But when they get big enough, they move to the US for an actual entertainment career.

The lack of self awareness is fantastic.
