Probably practiced it a lot. I bet he really enjoyed doing this, because William Shatner was apparently his hero growing up and then they became really good friends halfway through Seinfeld.

I love how as soon as Jason sat in the Captain's chair at 3:08, he instinctively assumed a Captain Kirk pose.

In the Australian version they filmed the scenarios as if they were their own TV show on their own set. They never showed the audience or the host until it was over. That was important for suspension of disbelief; in immersing the viewer in the same scenario that the guest was thrown into. The way they film this version makes it look like some tacky end of camp play.

Are all the episodes like this? Who's Line is it Anyway is way funnier. The script of the sketch seems pretty set in stone except they make an obvious prompt to Jason to come up with a funny line every few minutes. "How was the atmosphere, captain?" "Prepare us for launch, Captain" "Speak to the alien, Captain." Jason even tried to change the course of the sketch by saying "We've been cancelled" but then they just went back to the script when the alien came on the viewer screen.

Some of the actors took control of the scene; Harland Williams for example, and really ran with the idea.

But that's the point. They have a script and you only get one chance to improv through it. Whose Line is different because Drew admitted only around a third of what they make was funny enough to make it to air.
