Colin's work on Whose Line has always been fantastic -- just don't ask the man to sing.

They grew up together?! Well that explains their chemistry.

[@omfgblondie]

Not literally. They met as young comics and has been working together for like 40 years now.

[@linnhuman]

​​@@omfgblondie I do believe that is still technically growing up together

[@myriadmediamusings]

Every generation or person has their favorite comedy duo, and for me it's Colin Mochrie and Ryan Styles.

[@andyt2k]

He and Ryan are an insane combo

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

"Ryan and I grew up together." No wonder they work together so well.

[@JDrapic]

The number of times you get a variation of "you really want to start?" when physical attributes pop up, you just know they've been teasing each other for a long time

[@Beespank]

It really is unsurprising in hindsight 😂

[@lordtachanka903]

The fact that his name sounds like “Mockery” and he’s really good at making fun of both himself and others is just GOLD.

[@user-yk4to4rg8k]

Colin and Ryan are still everyone’s favorite pair from Who’s line. I love that they were featured on every version of Who’s line.

[@joeyralston3773]

Wow, just learned Colin and Ryan are childhood friends and suddenly everything is okay again

[@omfgblondie]

They're not. They met in their 20s. He means that they had worked together for years since they were conpletely unknown.

[@user-rm6ws8xm3n]

We are always our worst critic. Colin, you are brilliant !!! From one bald guy to another... Keep Shining !!!

[@jetnut89]

Gotta love the bald jokes

[@jayeff2]

I used to watch Colin and Ryan in a little theatre space in Vancouver in the 1980s. Back Alley Theatre.

[@kitsburrard5530]

Yes, I remember those great improvs there in the early 80s. He was already a star in my eyes. They both were.

[@watchparty1]

I've said for decades Ryan and Colin are the most underrated comedy duo there is. Love hearing how they grew up together. Not surprised at all.

[@bettersteps]

It took me time to appreciate Colin. Now, I love him. I wish I saw more of him on TV and in movies.

[@nunyanunya4147]

he has not aged a day... his face is just becoming more prominent and the rest of him is letting it shine.

[@GinoZump]

Same with David Cross

[@Cyberia15]

I was just thinking that. The only thing that's changed on him is the color of his hair. He looks great!

[@texasbornrefinerymade753]

These individuals are legends, they will never be replaced by todays actors. Arguably underrated and IMO better than SNL

[@dirtpoorchris]

Colins puns at the start of news bits and music infomercials are always great.

[@dustystephens7387]

“Knick knack patty whack” was gold

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

"A Bush in a band is worth two in the Byrds" was gold too!

[@arvydussibonus1712]

His work on the US episode with Richard Simmons Living Scenery alone is a great gift to the world.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

Richard really went out on that episode, despite being a guest.

[@stephsaguudefan1753]

Of course they grew up together. You can tell by the look in Ryan's eyes when Colin mentions his nose. Colin will always be one of the funniest people in the world to me. Never seen anyone better at improv.

[@AaronBowley]

i'll still never understand how they're able to be so funny, come up with the most out of the box jokes and make whole scenes work and flow, on the spot. they are amazing

[@motorbreathjz]

extremely talented.. and to do it on the spot on tv and audience.. baffling.. quick wits..

[@adamzangara]

I met Colin once in the lobby of Caesar's in Vegas. He stopped and chatted for a quick handshake. He was very nice. And a lot taller than I thought. However, working next to Ryan Stiles...lol

I used to skip school and watch Whose Line (and Unsolved Mysteries). Colin was always my favorite! I’m 36 so this gives me inspiration to keep going ❤😊

[@Galvantez]

I always assumed he'd already been a moderately succesful comedian--stand-up, probably--who just happened to be recruited for the Whose Line cast.

[@nancyscogin7549]

Sandy so young! Course I look very different now, too!😄

[@Elesario]

Would be fun to see Colin on QI.

[@NotKyleChicago]

[@terriseaton3049]

Colin is very humble. He deserves multiple chances. Both Colin & Ryan, talent never ends!

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Colin and Ryan, one of the best comedy teams ever, and, yes, that includes the greats like Laurel & Hardy.

[@mikintosh6111]

Colin may criticize his performance, but the sweater was a banger.

[@Scrubber89]

Ryan and Collin together are comedy geniuses. Thank god for Whose Line UK.

[@Zaiqahal]

You can even see that he was pretty nervous in the US Whose Line show. There's an episode where he resorts to some pretty dark humor and tries to snap himself out of it.

[@bkmur4713]

I’ve met Colin twice! Once when he was smoking near a skip, and another at 1am outside of a 24 hour restaurant.

[@Skorpio420]

I wish more of the UK episodes would get a DVD release.

[@CertifiedDoc]

How many of them did they publish? Even the US series only got two seasons on DVD.

[@Skorpio420]

@CertifiedDoc The UK/Clive Anderson show had the first two series (or seasons for us yankees) put out on DVD by A&E. Meanwhile, the first US/Drew Carey hosted season from ABC was released in two parts on DVD. I don't know of any other home releases besides these.

[@xlixer7641]

You can find them online pretty easily.. I think someone even uploaded every episode to youtube

[@userjim83]

The entire first 8 series (even the pilot) are on KZbin, just the last two you need to search for. Scratch that, the last two are on the same channel too.

[@cbehr91]

There's a British comedy channel on Pluto that shows UK Whose Line in several hour blocks.

[@garrethboland5646]

This is awesome. I loved Brad, too

[@jp3813]

I remember a very early episode of Whose Line where Ryan also didn't seem to know what he was doing. I don't think he got a single laugh. Hence, it kinda irks me whenever I see comments about how unfunny a one-time guest was.
