[@RSTHD]

Benedict cumberbatch can bend his voice to any character in the universe. How do you go from Sherlock Holmes to country rockstar?

[@sherlockholmes6956]

i dont know. take i75, i guess?

[@ouo897]

RST i know 😍👏

[@BlakieTT]

... he's Doctor Strange, DUH!

[@CodeytheArtist]

Sherlock Holmes hahaha best response I've seen in a long time! Well played!

[@taptaptaps]

RST OMG YESS

[@alexchannon]

I need a full length version of I Dropped It

[@007Julie]

Alex Channon he can probably improvise an entire musical on the spot. He's that talented!

[@alexchannon]

elmo007millie very VERY true!!!

[@JohnDoe-yw2nq]

Stefani Casas That's not true. The guests know all the themes and what they're going to do but they don't rehearse it.

[@sihayradiseocho]

Yes. I. Need. It. Too.

Surprisingly good singing from Benedict

[@ouo897]

NetherStar Entertainment surprisingly? He has always been good.

[@ativoflegacy]

[@najlanadhifa2497]

NetherStar Entertainment in a movie called August Osage County or u can just type 'can't keep it inside by benedict cumberbatch '

[@sherlockholmes6956]

i miss you too

[@007Julie]

Yesterday H yeah but that "break" I fear is going to be for a long, long time. At least 5 years. I hated the last episode, it was terrible, so convoluted!!

[@Meocross]

Don't know what you expected when we get only 3 episodes, Madhouse probably would have picked this series up but they are hogging the chapters.

[@dragonetta1981]

It's a standard improv comedy game. I love it.

[@Happybidr]

Tanyahachi 07 Actually it isn't that hard. It was such a funny jump at first, but weathermen gave a lot of options to go to. It depends on what you do for a living, if you have to be adept at conversation on any topic whatsoever. Given the fact that actors read lines written by others, you'd think this wouldn't been a good game for them.

[@chayantechasukij7222]

Tanyahachi 07 I SEE YOU AND THAT PROFILE PIC EVERYWHERE OH MY GOD

[@AwesomeCat2012]

How to instantly improve this game: - Hide the sentences and only make them appear a bit after they have been said. - remove the bell.
