Italy here and a lifelong Whose Line fan, as I hear the host also is. Sadly, copying (verbatim) a honorable and tested format isn't enough. You need master improv comedians, and decent comedians (as these are) is simply not enough. I really hope Frank Matano reads this (ciao Frank) and realizes, as a LOL alumnus, that the Canadian version of LOL was won by Colin Mochrie. I do not need to say more, do I? Of course, season one is bound to have some teething problem. But, and I can't stress this enough, you need to look for improv comedians, as opposed to scripted. Matano himself would be way better as a contestant than as the host.
