I saw a preview for a new show last night and I immediately set up a series recording on my DVR for it. “Thank God You’re Here” is a celebrity improv series that was created in Australia and is being produced by the same people who brought us American Idol. This show is being hosted by David Alan Grier and judged by Dave Foley. Here’s a premise of the show, as written on the official website:
“Thank God You’re Here” showcases the improvisational skills of a group of four brave actors each week, as they walk into a live sketch without a script, their only armor an unforeseen and unexplained wardrobe change.
So it’s a whole lot of “Whose Line is it Anyway?“, with basically just one skit, sounds like. I’m a big fan of improv, so hopefully this show does well. In the previews I saw such celebrities as Jason Alexander, Tom Arnold, Wayne Knight, and Tom Green. Sounds great! The show premieres on April 9th on NBC.

The show looks funny. I used to love whose line is it anyway, so hopefully, this will be as funny, if not better.
This show looks very funny… I hope I remember to catch it!
