{{quote| Greg: "We were walking in the daytime on the strip, and we were between the casino shaped like a pyramid and the one that's shaped like a castle, and we saw this kid just walking around, he was the cutest little kid with his big brown eyes, and he came up to us, remember? And he goes "I love you guys, I've seen you do your improv before, and your comedy, and I wonder if I there's any tickets to the show tonight", and I said, y'know, "No f--k off, we're sold out"..."}}
 
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' was the next high point of Ryan's career after ''Whose Line'' was discontinued... now it's Ryan getting Charlie on TV after his tenure on that show was brought to an end.
