Whose Line Is It Anyway?: Episode 4.8

Whose Line Is It Anyway?: Episode 4.8
Channel Four
14 March 1992
Improv Game Show
VHS
C+

This episode almost overcomes Chip smirking and Archie being Archie (unfunny, homophobic, etc.).  It's good to see the teamwork between Greg and Ryan, including on a flawless Alphabet (no letter skipped and not too much forced, other than "Xactly no.")  And Chip's reggae tribute to a woman in the audience, Yvette the receptionist, is one of the better things he's done.  Note that Greg picks George Bush (Sr.) as World's Worst person to be a parent, while Chip picks Clive.  And it is Greg who names Ryan's clown character in Helping Hands "Bobo," suggesting that either this is a standard character for Ryan and/or Greg watched Ryan's Who's the Boss? cameo a year ago.
