I haven't seen enough of UK Whose Line to be honest even though I sampled it when Game Tv briefly aired it. I kind of wish he did do an episode of the Drew era (hey why not Josie Lawrence did a couple of episodes I kind of wish they invited her back)

Norm was a tremendous guest on every talk show he appeared on. Just so funny.

I met Johnny Fairplay when he was in Winnipeg 15 years or so ago... that guy was a complete pr*ck.  It's definitely not a persona or character... it is him in real life.       Watching the video of Danny Bonaduce breaking his jaw is always very satisfying.

and it doesn't surprise me that he got kicked off first in the first Fans vs Favorites season (unless it was one of those deals where he was only there for one episode)
