I've always loved the show, but have wondered if any of it was set up. This goes for Improv in general.
In May I attended Whose Line live on stage (called A Night of Improv) with Colin, Brad, Greg, Jeff, and Chip.
Last night I watched the Improv All-Stars on CBC's Just For Laughs - Drew, Colin, Brad, Greg, Jeff, Chip and Unknown (to me).
Both times they played Jeopardy. In both cases, the final Jeopardy category (with Greg as Alex) was Indian Tribes. In each case, at some point someone yelled out Iroquois. Jeff got this one in the live show, and answered, "What comes before there a quois, everywhere a quois-quois?" Very funny.
On TV last night, Drew fielded that one and answered the same thing.
My first theory is that they've thought of this beforehand. They know there are only so many Indian tribes and have perhaps compiled a list with a joke for each one.
It's also possible that this was taped before I saw them live and Drew actually came up with this and Jeff was stuck and it just came to him.
Either way, it doesn't really matter. I still love the show, and would expect that there are certain things they may plan out beforehand.
