thank god you're here

have you seen the commercials for the new show 'thank god you're here'? the premise is that comedians are given costumes and put on sets and in scenes that they know nothing about. a slightly different take on tv improv.

i am a big lover of improv. all throughout high school, my favorite days were days we had a substitute in drama class. it meant we would spend an entire class period doing improv. sometimes it was funny. sometimes it wasn't. but it was always a blast.

i can appreciate the talent required for this particular theatrical genre, and find that it is one i am always amused by.

the show doesn't premiere for a few more days, but nbc has put the first episode online here.

enjoy.

Awkward, that's how I remember it. You are always so positive.

Maybe my bad attitude is framing my memories.

Every day was an improv day when I was there, remember.

Yeah, I don't think Wilson or Bowcock ever had a lesson plan, so it was pretty much a free-for-all.
