Drew Carey's Green Screen Show (2004-2005)

EndedVariety showComedy

Drew Carey ("The Drew Carey Show" "Whose Line Is It Anyway?") and his comic friends have a clever plan to shake up the concept of live improv comedy. The performers on this show act out quirky ideas suggested by the audience ("You're getting married underwater and are attacked by a giant squid"), but that's just a jumping-off point. The real fun begins with the technique known as green screen, which Drew's behind-the-scenes team will use to animate the skits, creating an actual improvised movie that brings to life the details going on in their vivid imaginations. This series is a fun and lively marriage of improv and animation, a concept only Drew Carey could pull off.
