Week of July 1st
Aisha Tyler will be the new hostess of the CW’s reboot of Whose Line Is It Anyway? I know I was heartbroken when this one-of-a-kind improv showcase was cancelled back in 2006, but now it’s back with Aisha taking over for the great Drew Carey. The returning cast members Ryan Stiles, Wayne Bradie, and Colin Mochrie will provide plenty of laughs, along with a special guest for each episode. Mark your calendars for the July 16th premiere and catch special sneak previews of what’s to come here. |
Monsters University took the #1 spot again at the box office this past weekend, grossing approximately $42.6 million, while The Heat took #2 at $40 million.
