Comedy in decline

I'll cast a vote for Whose Line Is It Anyway? Minus Drew Carey, those comics are talented. This is from a guy who USED to do stand up and let his "big break" go, for which I shall be forever bitter.

I don't think *I* could make up comedy on the spot like they do and certainly could not invent "song" lyrics, no matter how stupid.
Improvisational comedy is the toughest, in my opinion. Sometimes, I'm inspired to make really funny jokes, but most times I recycle other comics' material whether or not I'm aware of it. Legacy of listening to WYSP on Sunday nights back around the early eighties. Then I'd tune in WIP for the Mystery Theatre. Man, I liked to hear the old fashioned radio telecasts. There isn't anything on the radio to match that anymore.
