I'm watching Whose Line Is It Anyway right now and I was wondering who is the most popular performer? I pretty sure the "Big Three," Ryan, Colin and Wayne, will get the most votes but I'd still like to know who is the favorite one.

Me, I like Colin, I think he can be funny just sitting there. He even makes bad jokes funny.

Chip is just to hot for words, but he's not as funny as the others, except for the time he "broke Ryan."
So let me know who is your favorite.

Since Drew is the host, and only performers in the final sketch, I've left him off the poll.
 
Oh just for fun, I'm posting one of my favorites skits, Songs of the Chiropractor, with Colin & Ryan introducing the songs and Wayne and Josie (a regular from the British version) singing.

I can't get the [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFeHC3q8PHw[/yt] to work. Anyone know why?
 
Yeah, I can't say just one, because they work best as a team. For me, the Colin/Ryan team was the best. They made me laugh the most. :D
 
Definitely Colin. The rubbery facial expressions crack me up instantly, and I love whenever he cracks out the T-Rex impression. I also liked Jeff in his few appearances.

I've loved Kathy Greenwood in anything scripted I've seen her in, but her improv skills are rather lacking, at least in comparison to the rapid-fire dominance of the other cast members.
 
I think what lessened the show a bit was having three regular performers (good as they were) and one rotating fourth performer. Whoever was the fourth person generally got stuck with all the straight person parts and never got much chance to show off their own talents. It also made the show a bit repetitive as the three regulars tended to use the same jokes/gags over and over again through the years.

I wish there had been more cast rotation, like on the UK version (though even that eventually had the Ryan/Colin duo in basically every episode its last 3 years or so)
 
Ryan because he's naturally a wittier performer than Colin, who relies more on general goofiness. Great doubleact!

The problem is it's hard to not have Ryan and Collin there and Wayne Brady made sense both for the musical numbers and from a marketing standpoint. That really only left one person to rotate.
 
Ryan Stiles though the best bits where when he worked with Colin. The best episode of the American version was the guest appearance of Robin Williams :techman:
 
Nah, funniest-hands down-was Richard Simmons guest appearance.
He was a great sport and funny in his own right.
 
Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles were the ultimate trio. Colin has had a lot of gigs in Canada, from doing Are You Smarter than a Canadian 5th Grader? to This Hour has 22 Minutes, and a lot more. Not sure what he's doing now. I wish they'd do something like a movie together. They have good chemistry.

In recent years Ryan and Greg Proops have been doing a version of the UK show "Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned" - Greg looks the same, Ryan's put on a bit of weight - but I really wish he and Colin would tour together, be awesome to see them together again.
 
Wayne Brady's talent is absolutely wasted on Let's Make a Deal. Doesn't really sound like he even likes the job either.

It is. It was pretty much wasted on "Don't Forget The Lyrics!" too. I know he tried, and failed, before, but I still think that if anyone could bring back a variety show in the style of "The Carol Burnett Show", it would be him.
