Cast of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

Hosted by comedian Aisha Tyler, "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" will also feature the return of cast members Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie, who along with a special guest each episode, must put their comedic skills to the test through a series of spontaneous improv games, prompted only by random ideas supplied by the studio audience.

Co-created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" is from Angst Productions and Hat Trick Productions.

"Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Premieres on KBCW 44 Cable 12 on Tuesday, July 16.
