A cheap Whose Line knockoff, that's all this is.

As for Hollywood Game Night, I've never even seen that, I've heard it's terrible.

And who the hell are these people? Steve Carell and the guy who played David Wallace on The Office are the only two I recognize. That ain't cool!

Someone said that they're trying too hard to be a FOX version of Whose Line Is It Anyway, and I agree completely with that. I predict that this will be cancelled before June.

Michael Scott wouldn't even do improv this lame!

Hollywood Game Night has no comparison to this show because there are no similarities at all. Hollywood Game Night is not about improv. They literally play games with different celebrities on a team, hence the name Hollywood Game Night.

As for Whose Line, I do see how they are ripping off some of the games. The game where they have to say everything in the form of a question is a game from the original Whose Line. So is the alphabet game. The tilted stage could even be compared to the helping hands game on Whose Line. I think they were trying to create something new by using some old ideas mixed with new ones and it just doesn't work.

Actually it does work but you have to be smart which Americans sadly are not.

I guess the commenter above isn't American (and neither am I), and I actually found it to be entertaining and quite funny which I wasn't expecting. And I see how it's similar to Whose Line, but I find it a slightly more interesting version of that (just because it's a bit different, and the games on that repeat too often), and I can't stand the new host on Whose Line so that puts me off that a bit. I'm sure the games on this will repeat and get less interesting over time, but for now I like it and will keep watching.

FOX just axed it. Close enough.

Stupid Americans producers allowed this show on without a pilot. I'm glad the American audience was smart enough to vote with their feet and have this show cancelled.
