Page "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Paragraph 7

While all games are designed to test the performer's improvisational skill, some also test other skills, such as singing or doing impressions.

Whose Line?

features a number of musical games, which feature one or more of the show's resident musicians playing live backing music.

Occasionally, pre-recorded music is also used.

While they were good sports about it, many of the performers despised the musical games.

In one episode, Stephen Fry is asked to perform a rap, and starts to do so halfheartedly, but gives up after a few words, and Ryan Stiles would frequently inject insults into the Hoedown whenever he is forced to sing it, usually pointed at the host or the Hoedown itself.

Colin Mochrie would generally speak his lines instead of singing them for musical games.
