Performers: Greg Proops, Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles
Comments: There is something extraordinarily peculiar about this episode; Drew doesn't play in the final game. It's a strong episode, especially for Greg.
Notable Quote: "I'll give you a hundred bucks if you figure out what I am." - Colin in Let's Make A Date

Let's Make A Date: Wayne is the contestant. Greg is Judge Judy; Colin turns into a killer hamster when frightened; Ryan is TV's "Crocodile Hunter" on various dangerous encounters.
This is a smashing start to the show. Greg engages in a courtroom quip battle with Wayne, and Colin is extremely funny as a "were-hamster"--but Ryan takes the prize with his flawlessly goofy Crocodile Hunter impression. A winner all around.
Newsflash: Colin reports to Ryan and Greg on footage of wrestling.
Somehow this game comes off pretty weak, especially as long as it goes on, but Colin gives up a couple of funny lines.
Whose Line: Colin is Beauty who has come to plead for her father's freedom from imprisonment in the castle of the Beast, played by Ryan.
Ryan and Colin bring their special magic to this game, as always--especially when Ryan is oddly insistent on working a comical dance into the scene. The hilarity peaks at the end, in the anticipation of whether the two will really act out the last random line; watch them crack up as they're finally saved by the buzzer.
Weird Newscasters: Greg is the anchor. Co-anchor Colin is a streaker who has bet his friends that he can get in all the camera shots; sportscaster Wayne is an Italian stud who would rather be picking up women; weatherman Ryan is running all the legs of the Olympic 4X100-meter relay.
This doesn't seem funny at first, but it really is. Greg gets in some great lines. Wayne is very funny, though he seems to get Italy and Spain crossed. Ryan seems as if he'll have the hardest time bringing his quirk to life--but then enters Colin to play him up, making it one of the highlights of the episode.
Irish Drinking Song: Wayne, Greg, Colin and Ryan sing about divorce.
I don't think I've ever seen the players not crack up by the end of this game, and there's no exception here. The song rambles from the topic but is very funny, despite an oddly slow pace, and there's a comic moment when Ryan forgets himself and tries to sing two lines. Wayne also gives a small reference to the "Colin Moo-chrie" game of "Improbable Mission", from episode #327.
Credits: Ryan reads as the Crocodile Hunter, with the other performers playing animals behind him.
