What’s This TV Show About?
A comedy improv series airing on the The CW television network, the Whose Line Is It Anyway? TV show is hosted by Aisha Tyler. Each episode typically features show veterans Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, as well as a guest performer. The foursome tests their comedic reflexes by participating in a series of spontaneous improv games. After each round, Tyler doles out points to the performers and she then declares a winner at the end of every episode (not that the points matter). Guests in season 20 (the 12th on The CW) include Penn & Teller and Keegan-Michael Key.

The first half of the 20th season of Whose Line Is It Anyway? (which aired during the 2022-23 season) averages a 0.07 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 462,000 viewers. Compared to season 19, that’s down by 11% in the demo and down by 14% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).

Telly’s Take
Will The CW cancel or renew Whose Line Is It Anyway? for season 21? Mochrie revealed that season 20 would end the series but later clarified that the show could continue without the existing cast. Will that come to pass? Will viewers accept a new group of improv performers after 20 seasons of shows? The CW has kept mum.
