The resident funnymen (and women), sorted alphabetically. For now, descriptions are taken from the official Improv-a-ganza website [https://web.archive.org/web/20120415071711/http://tv.gsn.com/shows/improv/cast here].

{{break}}
----
=== Bob Derkach ===
 
Line 56:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: The game Bob's Call, where Bob starts playing music that forces the players to sing along based on whatever they just said, revolves around the comedy side of this trope. Often results in [[Lyrical Dissonance]] for the players.

{{break}}
----
=== Jonathan Mangum ===
[[File:cast-jonathan-mangum_4217.png|frame]]
Line 102:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: A good chunk of his [[Butt Monkey]] status can be attributed to the fact that [[Running Gag|he keeps giving the other guys ideas]] [[You Just Had to Say It|of how to mess with him.]]
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|This Is For Emphasis, Biatch!]] Overused, and eventually disallowed.
{{break}}
-----

[[File:cast-colin-mochrie_6411.png|frame]]
Line 118:
* [[Running Gag]]: Velociraptors.
* [[What the Hell Is That Accent?]]: Absolutely [[Defied Trope|defied]]. Colin knows that he can't do accents, so when a game of Options places him in Mexico, he becomes [[Crowning Moment of Funny|a Scottish tourist]].
{{break}}
-----

[[File:cast-brad-sherwood_6937.png|frame]]
Line 149:
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Seems to be Brad's favorite style of humor.
* [[Testosterone Poisoning]]: A lot of his characters come across as an amalgam of [[John Wayne]], the male lead of a soap opera, and [[Moby Dick|Captain Ahab]].
{{break}}
----

[[File:cast-ryan-stiles_5675.png|frame]]
Line 161:
* [[Gag Nose]]
* [[Game-Breaking Injury]]: [[Word of God|An interview with Colin]] revealed that Ryan's bad back is being taken into consideration during the acts this time.

Line 172:
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]
* [[Stunt Casting]]: He was evidently brought in to acclimate fans of ''Whose Line'' to this show.
{{break}}
 
=== Sean Masterson ===
 
Line 179:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Sean probably appeared in more eps of ''Drew Carey's Green Screen Show'' than this one.
* [[Testosterone Poisoning]]: His naturally deep voice goes [[Up to Eleven]] during his role as a [[Large Ham]] fitness instructor.
{{break}}
 
=== [[Charlie Sheen]] ===
 
Line 187:
* [[Off the Rails]]: He completely derailed a game of Fairytale with the line, {{spoiler|"Charlie Sheen [[Refuge in Audacity|fucks dead hookers]]."}}
** You could tell by the expression on his face throughout the entire game that he was completely lost. When he finally got picked to narrate, the [[Non Sequitur]] was all he could think of.
