Oh Drew Carey will not be hosting. I loved the show back in the day, I hope that they will be funny as hell again.

^I'm okay with that - Drew improved over time, but was always the weakest part of the show.

What, really? Oh wow. And they're bringing back Ryan and Colin!

It was turning out to be a pretty crummy day until I heard this.

I watched the show in its US incarnation a few times---you know, I never hated it, but I always liked the old UK version way betterer. Can't help it---Clive Anderson is better host: Tony Slattery, Paul Merton, Steven Frost, John Sessions, occasionally goldang EDDIE IZZARD ARE YOU EVEN SLIGHTLY KIDDING ME HERE ALREADY are so better cast. C'mon, now, buddy.

Somebody likes John Sessions? He doesn't seem have a lot of fans, shall we say?

So, it's back, & it's good. :)
They've got some fun new games & a lot of the old classics. There's a bit of over-reliance on guest stars in some games--not the 4th chair, but outside guests. Fortunately, those guests have delivered some comedy themselves.
Aisha Tyler holds it down pretty well as host, but it's a different dynamic; she's better at improv than Drew was, but not as good as Clive was. Also, while Drew tended to play off of Ryan more (obvious reasons), Aisha plays more off of Wayne. Also also, she doesn't step in for the last game, which is probably a good thing.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^ I really like how Aisha plays off of Wayne the most. Drew playing of Ryan always kinda bothered me since Ryan already had the whole dynamic with Colin, and Wayne would only really have something going when Chip or Brad were on.

Obviously the celebrity guests are unneccessary, and I'd like it if they used Scenes From A Hat more, but otherwise a pretty good revival.

It's amazing the things you can do when you aren't constrained by gravity. Though I'd like to see one where they don't try to add in Exorcist.

I also really liked stuff like New Choice, IYKWIM, 2 Line Vocabulary...which probably were shown but I demand MOAR!
