Charlie Sheen will appear in the second episode of GSN’s new primetime daily strip series Drew Carey’s Improv-A-Ganza, which will air April 12. Sheen’s gig is billed as “an impromptu appearance.” The place and timing of the its taping are noteworthy: It was done at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Jan. 18. That is a week after Sheen’s weekend-long binge in Las Vegas in the company of porn stars and alcohol and a week before the 36-hour bender at Sheen’s house with porn stars and drugs that ended with him in the hospital and led to the production shutdown on Two and a Half Men and ultimately to Sheen’s firing from the show. The cast of Improv-A-Ganza, which seems to be in the vein of ABC’s Carey-hosted Whose Line Is It Anyway, features severals alums from that show. It includes Carey, Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and Greg Proops. Sheen is now embarking on a month-long tour.

Yes!
Are you commenting from six weeks ago?
Nah, I’m still on the Charlie Sheen ride. Can’t figure out why everyone else is getting off, this is fun!
Sounds like WHOSE MIND IS IT ANYWAY?
Yes ! I am looking forward to see it !
Charlie Sheen is a talented and funny actor above all.
Stop using a picture of him when he actually ate solid food. Use a picture of the scary 90 year old scarecrow that he is today.
Coincidentally, GSN’s corporate slogan is, “The World Needs More Winners.”
you think it sunk in yet that he’s ruined his career or is he still in denial?
So sorry to hear Carey is back on the Improv kick again. He has some of the best in the world at the game around him, but WHEN is someone going to have the stones to tell Carey that there are hundreds of wannabe improvisers in high schools across the America who are in the clouds compared to Carey’s incompetence at the art?
Stand-up? He’s great (last I saw him years ago) His sitcom? T least for the first couple of years, it really was ground breaking. But he’s sucked at Improv literally every time he’s tried it, and when he hosts these things it seems he just can’t resist the pull to join in, and the performances are as humiliating to watch as they should be for him to be in them.
If we can get off the subject of Sheen (please), the show sounds great. All those Whose Line guys are brilliant. Looking forward to it.
It would be nice if somebody produced a true improv show,with scenes, not games. The first ASSSCAT on Bravo by the Upright Citizen’s Brigade was fine!
It featured the late Del Close’s long form improv, The Harold.
