"Thank God You're Here"

I didn't see this posted anywhere else, sorry if it is a repeat:

I saw an ad on NBC for a new show. And who do I see during this commercial? None other than the lovely Angela Martin, amongst many other great actors. Looked it and here is the official description from NBC.com. Sounds good, and look forward to checking it out.

"Premieres Monday April 9 9/8c
THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE
From the producers of "American Idol," the runaway hit comedy series from Australia, "Thank God You're Here," comes to NBC! Hosted by David Alan Grier ("In Living Color") and presided over by judge Dave Foley ("NewsRadio," "Kids In The Hall"), the series showcases the improvisational skills of a group of four brave actors each week, as they walk into a live sketch without a script. Guest stars include Bryan Cranston, Angela Martin, Tom Arnold, Fran Drescher, Wayne Knight and more!"

Wow, I didn't know that was being adapted for the US. It's really big in Australia, people are crazy for it. It's a great show but its success really depends on the quality of the actors/guests they have on it, so I bet your version will be killer. Yay for Angela!

For sure! I'll be looking for it on YouTube. Can you post in here to let me know when it's on? Then I'll know when to go hunting for online clips!

I bet that after Angela does it there'll be an influx of Office cast members on there. Kate Flannery is in an improv group, so she's my next bet...

Man, I really don't like Brian Cranston. For whatever reason, he's annoyed the ever-loving crap out of me in everything he's ever been in. Angela should be great. And I don't know why, even though he's one of the most obnoxious people on the planet, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Tom Arnold. Maybe it was his charming turn in True Lies, I dunno.

Whatever the case, I like improv, so I'll definitely be checking this out.

This show sounds really exciting and if it's that great a success in Australia I'm sure it'll do well here too!

I don't like the concept, basically each of these actors walk into a room and the scene starts with someone saying "Thank God You're Here". As a talented improviser (my school team qualified for regionals!) I'll still tune in, but won't expect to like it. But if I'm lucky it'll be better than expected. Many a comedy show had I expected to be not funny, but then tricked me, and vice versa.
