Whose Line Is It Anyway?

From Muppet Wiki

Whose Line Is It Anyway? (sometimes referred to as "Whose Line?" or "WLIIA") is an improvisational game show. It originated as a British radio show, but was then transferred to British TV, where it was hosted by Clive Anderson (1988-1998), and eventually American TV, hosted by Drew Carey (1999-2006). The show's games (both British and American versions) have mentioned the Muppets several times.

References

• In a season 1 episode, during a game of "Let's Make a Date," Ryan Stiles was a man with an alien coming out of him. Brad Sherwood guessed he was either that or Jim Henson.
• In a season 3 episode, Wayne Brady and Chip Esten reference Sesame Street in a game of "Props" by holding two parenthesis-style pieces together. One of them says, "Today's show was brought to you by the number 8!". In another season 3 episode featuring the "Props" game, Wayne and Greg Proops are on one side. One of them references Sesame Street by forming a letter O and annouces the traditional "brought to you by the letter/number" line.
• In a 4th season episode, in the game "Scenes From a Hat", a suggestion reads: "If lessons of love and sex were taught in the style of Sesame Street." Wayne puts on a Latin accent for "cerrado/abierto", Colin Mochrie wants to take a look at Big Bird, Colin, Kathy Greenwood, and Wayne re-enact the One of These Things segments, and Colin and Ryan form a (reverse) letter H.
• In a season 6 episode, one game had two panelists on one side each, portraying a couple. One side sang as Kermit the Frog, and the other side sang as Miss Piggy.
• In an episode from the 7th season, Kathy Greenwood sings part of "Rubber Duckie".
