It was really just the most hysterical night I've had since I went to a Whose Line taping in February 2001.
Chip and Colin work really well together. They started off with Questions as a warm-up; the audience helped keep track, buzz people out, etc. They also played Moving People, Sound Effects, a Foreign Translator game, Chip sang two songs, Sentences from the audience, a game they claim to have made up (more on that later), and some other stuff I've probably forgotten.
The game they said they made up earlier today was "First Sentence, Last Sentence, Last letter." They took the first sentence and last sentence to be spoken from the audience. In this case: Is your name really William the Flatulant? The last sentence was: Call me Ishmael. The next sentence had to start with the last letter of the last word of the last sentence spoken. It was fabulous watching them try to keep track of what letter they had to start their sentence with.
Chip really, really worked the crowd well. I was very impressed. Normally, the fourth seaters are really deferential, IMO, to Wayne, Colin and Ryan, and it was great to see what Chip is really capable of when given free rein.
