So Misha Collins guested on Whose Line Is It Anyway? last night. It was... interesting. LOL.
He participated in 2 skits, and the first one I thought was pretty successful. The regulars took care of the song lyrics and he in large part initiated and participated in the choreography. It was quite funny. Thumbs up. :)
The second skit was less successful, to be quite honest. It is clear that improv takes a very specific skill set. It's not just about acting but being able to instantly react and move and respond and - in this case - interact with other people whom you don't know. It's one thing to be able to improv jokes when you are in your comfort zone and playing off people you know forwards and backwards, their timing, rhythm, way of thinking. The regulars on this show know each other, have that advantage of familiarity, so Misha absolutely did the best he could to keep up, and was game for, well, the game, but yeah. Awkward, lol. And that's okay. We know this isn't his forte, but he was willing to go for it, and he definitely ended the skit on a big laugh. Also, it was rather hilarious seeing him not quite be able to maintain his composure but crack up a couple of times, and trying to figure out how to keep his end of things going. Good effort, Misha, and it was lovely to see you go for it.
Now if we could get Jensen to guest...
