Jose should’ve been on more. I grew up with the American version but recently watched the old UK versions, she was amazing and she did so well in the US one I’m surprised they didn’t have her back, or maybe she wasn’t available.

there is not many occasions on this show where the audience applauds sheer talent, and I'm so happy josie contributed to one of these amazing moments in the US version

They outdid themselves with the Gilbert & Sullivan.

She was a bit to edgy for US TV stations. ABC was afraid she's say something racy or swear. She said "cunt" one time on the show and wasn't invited back.

@@Tkieron I just watched the clip you were talking about and I think she said "pussy". Hard to tell because it was censored. I don't think she was booted for that because if that word freaked them out, then it never would have made it to air in the first place. I think it was just because she was British and the travel from England to America would have been to difficult.

Kitty Grimm Josie was a regular performer on the UK version up until the last season. If you want more of her you can watch the UK episodes.

There are about a million amazing moments on Whose Line, but the Gilbert and Sullivan song with Wayne and Josie has to be the all time #1. The level of improv talent and musical chops, and to sing in unison and harmony, I mean....who can do this? Who can top this? Virtually every moment of every episode is comedy gold, but this is another level of incredible.

Oh my god the Gilbert and Sullivan song was amazing

I think Colin said Gilbert and Sullivan because he knew of Josie's talents and well as Wayne's. But this is the best colab ever for Greatest Hits it really is

Actually, I have a feeling they're assigned (or at least given a list to choose from) certain genres to use. Otherwise, how would they know exactly what instruments to put out?

@@julieschultz6363 I don't think this is true, because the keyboard can synth any sound they need, and in other episodes, you can clearly see Ryan and Colin screwing with Wayne with the genres and titles, and Wayne saying things like "you guys are the worst." Obviously all the players know Wayne and Josie's skills and preferred song styles, but I think this is the finest example of Wayne and Josie's musical talents. Also, their embrace at the end, which is a bit unusual for Whose Line, says to me that they knew they had just killed it. That couldn't have been planned.

I watched an interview w/ Colin & Brad and they said that for the musical improv stuff, they'd go through everything that the musicians could possibly play and the singers would take suggestions from the producers just to get the vibe.

@@elbraymundo We assumed they have a list of genres to choose from because some of the instruments they set up are very genre-specific. For example, if there was an accordion laid out there, they might be doing a polka.

Absolute masterclass of improv by Wayne and Josie, the latter is one of the best in the business, and I wish she was on the US version more often! Best place to see her these days is at the Comedy Store in London, where she still performs fairly regularly.

I FREAKIN LOVE JOSIE LAWRENCE

i think Josie is the one that has played more games in the entire franchise, she was in the first ever aired episode, she got to play authors to weird newcasters and almost every uk only game.

Josie is awesome!!!! we need her to appear once in the new whose line

I've been looking for a clip of this specific segment for YEARS. I remember how blown away I was by the G&S song but I've forgotten how good the other ones were!

4:10. Wayne starts to pound his fists, Josie sees it, and they sync right up. Improv at its best. I think the audience saw it too because that is when they go wild.

Sent chills up my spine.

A+. Geniuses. ❤❤❤

That Gilbert and Sullivan song was AWESOME!!! FYI: Gillbert and Sullivan were responsible for the masterpice of musical and theaterical delight, "The Pirates of Penzance"

At 4:04 you can see both nod, as if both are saying to each other, 'Are we doing this? Let's kill it'

I bet Wayne was thrilled she could keep up with him

Josie is a veteran improv performer, Wayne was just a teenager when WLIIA started in the UK with Josie appearing in the very first episode 😊 it was likely Wayne was thrilled to be working with such an improv legend

Just watched this episode on HBO Max. If I did ever see the episodes with Josie when I was a kid then I just didn't understand and appreciate just how damn good she was

best duo ever!

Before the US version ever launched, the UK version ran in syndication in Canada (on Bravo, if I recall) and Josie Lawrence set the bar high. When she appeared briefly on the US show, as we see here, she elevated an already strong ensemble and held a masterclass. She'd worked with Colin and Ryan before, but I think this was the first time she and Wayne had shared a stage, at least on the show. Imagine if she'd been in the regular rotation, like Greg and Chip and the others.

She's an absolute giant of improv, on a par with Colin and Ryan I'd say, still performs in London and very occasionally in Edinburgh.

After they look at each other at 4:25 - that is the best thing that ever happened on Whose Line.
