Colin is 49 today!! Wow...it seems like just yesterday that Colin was calling Ryan old...OH wait, he did do that in yesterday's rerun.

Plus: MTV picks up six new series, Fred Savage signs up for Happy Endings, and there's a Baywatch movie in the works.
Senor Tiger Blood stopped by Drew Carey's new improv comedy show last night, and proved that he's no comedy genius.
From shy valedictorian of his graduating class to best and funniest cast member of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", Colin Mochrie is hysterical. It's not like that means he dumbed down or anything: his jokes are clever and his comebacks after something like a bald joke or being from Canada, were classic! The show would of survived lasting as long as 2010 and longer. Improv is very difficult since of course, everything is improvised! But, even though Colin said himself that Hoedowns and other song scenes weren't his strong suit, he always found a way to get through it, and with a great laugh from the audience! He deserves a show of his own, wherever he's at now.
Yep, He's the funniest to ever do it. I can say that without a single shred of doubt. Say what you want. Yes, there isn't a huge field of mainstream TV improvers to choose from, but there are certainly enough to be able to crown a king among them. Yes, he might not have been THE funniest from the UK "Whose Line", but he was somewhere near the top. Yes, the producers of the American incarnation of "Whose Line" basically gave the show to him and Ryan to make it their own, but it definitely wasn't by accident. No, no accident. They knew full well that he was the one who could turn the show into something special. The chemistry between Colin and Ryan, coupled with Colin's insanely creative and bizarrely random brand of humor is what made "Whose Line" one of the funniest shows ever to grace the airwaves. And not only is Colin Mochrie easily the greatest improver ever to be on TV, he's also one of the downright funniest guys ever to be on TV period.
Why I love Colin Mochrie in 100 words:
When I've had a bad day there is no-one else in the world who can always make me laugh. All I have to do is watch an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway and I'll feel much better. The very thought of his complete randomness and funny faces cheers me up. He is funny no matter who he works with, but never funnier than when he's working with Ryan Stiles. Any fan of Whose Line knows what I mean when I say 'The Cat' or 'Tapioka'. Both classic Colin and Ryan moments.
Colin is absolutely one of the best and funniest comedians ever. He is known for his improvisational skills and his role on Whose Line is it Anyway?. He's bald, He's Canadian, whats not to love about Colin. I could watch his improv skits any time anywhere and laugh my gut out.
I cannot see how anyone could not love Colin Mochrie! I mean he is so talented that anything he says or does is funny...and I mean really funny. He is most notably remembered for his role on "Whose Line Is It Anyways?" He was, without a doubt, one of the funniest people acting now! I mean he can turn any situation into a comedic act. He is so funny that I cannot drink while watching him. I think that he is a great actor/comedian. He is very funny at improv. I don't see how it is possible for anyone not to think Colin is funny!
