Last semester I compared the Life of Brian to Shakespeare's `Troilus and Cressida' - and got an 87 for it! > Now, what do you all make of Who's Line is it Anyway now that it's hosted > by Drew Carey (I admit, I miss the Brit that was doing it before) or the > brilliant contrast between Brits and Americans in A Fish Called Wanda? Say what ??? It's one of my favourite cable programs and I'll miss that other guy too! It will make a real difference having an American on the seat, as well. Actually, that show is a case in point of British and American humour, because it's one of very few shows in which those two styles of humour are allowed to play off one another - and it works (as in A Fish Called Wanda, too!). I've found the best gauge between British and American humour is in those sitcoms where they have imported an idea from England and re-done it with an American cast and style of humour. It very seldom works. My favourite ascerbic-anarchic British comedian is Alexei Sayle. One time he did a whole show in which he played Godot - being held up at the shopping centre, being caught speeding, etc - yet when he finally arrived to Estragon and (??? The other guy) there were *three* of him. Oh, the hilarious irony! (: So surreal yet so brilliant.
