The CW has ordered new episodes of the classic improv comedy TV series Whose Line Is It Anyway? to air this summer, the network announced today.

The new version of Whose Line will be hosted by comedienne Aisha Tyler (Archer) and will feature the return of show alums Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and Wayne Brady. The fourth chair will be filled by as-yet-unannounced special guests.

The network's press release did not announce a premiere date or how many new episodes will air.

The new incarnation seems as if it will adhere closely to the previous version. Here's the network's description: "Pr...

File this under "Things You Didn't Expect to Hear Today" -- Wayne Brady is under fire for a RACY joke he made at the "Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne" .... WAYNE BRADY!!!

So what subject was so touchy that the crowd actually booed?? Brady made a joke featuring Sarah Palin's son Trig ... who suffers from Down's Syndrome.

Now for the joke ... which Brady made while addressing Jeff Ross:

"Now the thing is Jeff ... these are all jokes, and I really like you. I really, really like you. But a lot of people hate you, especially Sarah Palin because you remind her of wha...

After achieving breakout stardom on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Wayne Brady is back on ABC and once again making us laugh in Trust Us With Your Life, as part of a troupe of improv comedians that re-enact and sometimes skewer the lives of celebs from Ricky Gervais to the Osbournes.

As a member of the Whose Line cast, there's no doubt that Wayne acquitted himself well: excellent games of "Greatest Hits" and "African Chant" led into, among many things, a daytime talk show, a musical album, a Las Vegas comedy show and hosting jobs on shows like Celebrity Duets, Don't Forget The Lyrics! and his c...

Monday’s new HIMYM, “The Rebound Girl,” began with Lily and Marshall preparing to once again host Thanksgiving dinner and ended with a huge revelation.

Marshall and Lily had recently been given Lily’s grandparents’ house on Long Island. They were now forced to decide to either sell it or move. Their original idea was to sell, but after spending some time in the house, their Manhattan apartment seemed a little cramped. They decide to host Thanksgiving out in Long Island and give everyone a chance to check out the place.

Meanwhile, a forlorn Ted and recently rejected Barney were bemo...

In Monday’s all-new HIMYM, Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) realizes that his new girlfriend Nora (Nazanin Boniadi) is a lot like his mother. Will it be a deal breaker?

Last week Robin’s (Cobie Smulders) new boyfriend Kevin (Kal Penn), who is a therapist, pointed out that the group had a lot of issues. These included Ted (Josh Radnor) and Marshall’s separation anxiety, Robin’s trust issues, Barney’s pathological lying and denial, and the whole group’s generally abnormal social behavior. My apologies to my thousands of fans for not getting around to doing a recap for last week’s episode (del...

The 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards invaded Sin City and SheKnows' very own Joel D. Amos was on hand to catch all the action and snap some photos of the big night. Big winners included General Hospital who took home Outstanding Supporting Actor and Outstanding Lead Actress and The Bold and Beautiful who captured the Outstanding Drama award.

The 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards opened with a fresh feel as host Wayne Brady dance-battled against famed dance group the Jabbawockeez. But it was all about the winners like General Hospital's Laura Wright and those who make the daytime world the mag...

Axed soaps All My Children and One Life To Live are set to go out with a bang after scoring a combined total of 25 nominations for the 2011 Daytime Emmy Awards.

Earlier this year, ABC network bosses announced All My Children will come to an end in September after 41 years on air, while One Life To Live will also be scrapped following a 43-year run.

However, the shows look set to dominate the 38th annual Daytime Emmys - All My Children, which has 13 nominations, is up for Outstanding Drama Series, competing against The Bold and the Beautiful, General Hospital and The Young and the Restle...

Former Whose Line Is It Anyway? and current Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza cast member Wayne Brady will be coming to Los Angeles for a limited engagement tonight and tomorrow, April 17 and 18.

Having starred in Chicago and in the Hollywood Bowl production of Rent, Brady is a well-known performer and musician. He released his debut album, A Long Time Coming, in September 2008. He also performed with Jim Brickman on Brickman's The Disney Songbook album.

Brady, who also performed a live show at the Venetian in Las Vegas and previously hosted The Wayne Brady Show in daytime, will be debuting a...

As Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza premieres on GSN tonight (8 PM & 11 PM ET/PT), we can't help but think of all the fond memories we have of some of the same cast on Whose Line Is It Anyway? In tribute, my colleague Jennifer Decker and I have each selected our five favorite moments (in no particular order) from Whose Line.

Note: For the purposes of simplicity and space, this list refers only to the American (ABC) version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? We have a deep affection for the original UK series (hi, Clive Anderson!) but if we included it, we'd be here all day.

Jenn's Five Favorites:
...

I still have fond memories of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the half-hour improvisational comedy series that began as a UK edition from 1988-1998, and then an American version from 1998-2004 on ABC (in fact, reruns still air on ABC Family). When Whose Line was on, almost everyone I knew was watching it. Now GSN is giving us the next best thing: Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza, another half-hour comedy series that features many of the Whose Line performers.

Seriously, you've seen most of these people before. Aside from Carey, the cast includes Whose Line regulars Jeff Davis, Chip Esten, Greg P...

No, Vanessa Hudgens isn't a drug addict - she's just playing one in the Hollywood Bowl production of the hit musical "Rent."

Hudgens took on the role of Mimi alongside fellow stars Wayne Brady and Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls.

The musical marked "How I Met Your Mother" star Neil Patrick Harris' stage directorial debut and played for three nights.

Vanessa has been furthering herself from her clean-cut Disney image after starring in the "High School Musical" movies and is now looking toward starring in more 'adult' roles. She's set to star in "300" director Zack Snyder's latest...

Liz is still baby crazy as the seventh episode of 30 Rock's third season finally returns after an extended holiday hiatus, and suddenly there are babies everywhere- from the Rockefeller Plaza lobby to the sidewalk outside.

She taps the head of what she assumes to be a little boy, only to have Peter Dinklage turn around and hit on her because he likes "aggressive, slightly nerdy" women. Probably because she is afraid of seeming like… height-ist, just the way Wayne Brady thought she was racist when she wanted to break up with him in season one, she agrees to go for a drink with the rand...

Gemini (May 22-June 21) are said to have a dual nature. The astrological symbol for Gemini is the Roman numeral for two, representing twins and duality.

Twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are Geminis. Last year the 21-year-old power duo earned $17 million, and they are planning on releasing a coffee table book about their fashion inspirations.

Gemini can be fickle. Those born under this sign represent the yin and the yang, or the law of opposites. It can be no coincidence that Anne Heche is a Gemini. She famously dated Ellen DeGeneres but later married a man. She di...

Previously filmed in Los Angeles, it's Saturday night. Never quite catching on with the same fervor as its New York competition, MADtv has still carved a niche for itself appealing to a younger demographic who favor repeat characters and dead-on celebrity impersonations over topical sketches. Like Saturday Night Live though, "MADtv" has had some fantastic cast members during its 13-year tenure as well as some real clunkers. Why focus on the bad though when we can celebrate the good. Some of these actors have gone on to mediocre careers; others still remain stuck in obscurity. Here are the ...

Seth Green was stalked by Christian Slater until he agreed to put him in his new show. The 32 year-old (star of the Austin Powers movies and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series) gets approached by many celebrities to be spoofed in his stop-motion show with action figures, 'Robot Chicken.'

In a recent interview with Wizard, Green said “I had Christian Slater – who’ve I known for a really long time – shadow me and [writer] Tom Root at a party until we agreed to put him in the show.”

He continued, “And then I ran into Wayne Brady at the airport and he’s like, ‘I love Robot...
