This show takes the phrase "audience participation" literally. Members of the studio audience suggest ideas for the games and skits that four actors, usually improvisational comics, perform. Host Drew Carey occasionally joins in on the improvisational fun. Regular guests on the show include Wayne Brady, Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie.
