JonathanB.Reid 34 Posted November 2, 2015 When Paul did the "JV initials" segue to his next improviser, I thought (not having looked at the guest list) that he was about to introduce Janet Varney (another frequent and very enjoyable recurring member). It was, of course, Jean Villepique (who is equally a delight), but now that made me long for a JV-Squared episode (which we have not had since episode 12) 3 Share this post Link to post
JonathanB.Reid 34 Posted November 2, 2015 Okay, am I the only one who thought, "Wait, is Marc Evan Jackson there?", every time Millionaire spoke? 2 Share this post Link to post
Jug Bandit 133 Posted November 2, 2015 Okay, am I the only one who thought, "Wait, is Marc Evan Jackson there?", every time Millionaire spoke? Every time he would sneak up on the others with his Marcevan voice, I wanted to shout out, "Cack-Attack!" Jean Villepique was smart, charming, and delightful as always. I think I could happily listen to Colleen Smith yell incoherent insanity all day. Thanks! 3 Share this post Link to post

KatherineIsOdd 486 Posted November 3, 2015 Craig's callback that acknowledged the listener may be my favourite ending to an improv on this show! I took my hands off the steering wheel and said "Whaaaat?" and thankfully, didn't crash and die! 4 Share this post Link to post

KatherineIsOdd 486 Posted November 3, 2015 Warning to all future special guests: If you do not include definite or indefinite articles in your location, (and write legibly, spoiler alert) your failure to do so will be immortalized in the improv forever. 5 Share this post Link to post
hypnotizingchickens 1025 Posted November 3, 2015 HOT DOG STAND GENIE! this is seriously all I could think about the entire episode... I just kept waiting for someone to break into "Welcome to My World" 1 Share this post Link to post
FisterRoboto 7499 Posted November 3, 2015 Every time he would sneak up on the others with his Marcevan voice, I wanted to shout out, "Cack-Attack!" Wasn't Jim Rash Millionaire, though? 3 Share this post Link to post
Jug Bandit 133 Posted November 3, 2015 Wasn't Jim Rash Millionaire, though? Yeah that makes a lot more sense. Here I was super impressed by Craig's range on this ep, and it turns out I just forgot that the guests are getting in on the improv now. You know what I say to that? CACK-ATTACK 1 Share this post Link to post
