He's pretty good and a pretty underated actor, he's playing his role very well. And why do I watch the US version of TGYH and I always see in the comment section, 'Aussie's better'? Both are pretty good and funny.
@andrew32393I agree they would have been good at it and that would have defeated the point. The idea was to use people was to put actors on the spot. I never saw any versions that used improv artists.
@JohnForester15 to translate your comment, First off: other people have accents and when they talk fast, I don't understand what they're saying. Therefore, their version of this show is inferior. Second off: My opinion about humour (a subjective thing) is "truth". That attitude is the reason most other countries don't think most Americans can be very funny; most of what we see of you is you taking yourselves way too seriously, talking yourselves up and stating your opinions as if fact.
Imrpov, yes, but the jokes might not translate well. Monty Python, from the UK, as well as much British humor, seems to fail in the U.S. I can see the similarities. Foreign humor I do find the humor funny myself.
It's not that the "aussie version is better"; it's more that the US version was terrible. They were getting terrible guests for the show, and their "humor" really didn't work well in these improvisational situations.
With the exception of a few gems (Brian Cranston, Wayne Knight, Harland Williams) the Us version was really poorly done. Dave foley was great as the judge but Tim meadows thinks he's way funnier than he is and needs to shut up. They should have had some aussie/uk personalities mixed in.
Wayne Knight did phenomenally well, this is funnier than most scripted comedy.
He was awesome on the sketch show "The Edge."
american scripted comedy
I laughed out loud way too many times this guys a legend.
His last line
Gold
Wow, he's lost weight. I love Wayne Knight

The US one is shit

He is clever! ❤😂
This is awesome : D :D
why did they never have any of the guys from whose line on this show? probably cause theyd be too good lol
I would buy these products.
Didnt know there was a US version, so used to the aussie one
The fat guy from Jurassic Park, he was funny then, now, his still funny, I like him. :D
I remember this guy in Jurassic park
lol, he's dressed excatly the same way he was on jurrasic park
Also in Jurrasic Park and SpaceJam.
@MrRobertlc, there was only one season here. I believe that this was from the first episode.
Wayne Knight is a lot thinner than his Seinfeld days!
SOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY
Is the hostess Alice from "Workaholics"???!! Anyone?
YES that is her!!!! Maribeth Monroe is her name
5:10, he almost let it slip that his reaction was 'wtf'
Australian version is the best
This is a pretty good performance though. Noone could beat Oz but this confidence was up there with Shaun, Hamish, Angus and Josh
Hello Newman!

Although I like that concept the people many in the U.S. don't seem to understand Aussie humor.

Hello, Newman. -_-
Is that... Is that Moira?
Is Wayne Knight a doctor also.
@TK421atPDX I'd swear it's more like homeopathy.

why are Americans like really really unfunny compared to like I dunno every other country in the world?
omg... in US do you really need to clap after every single joke!

David Alan Grier.
Wayne didn't really use the material well... he didn't milk it for the comedic potential.
Whatchu talkin bout? He went fully against the "improv-yes" trope and still pulled out sensational material.
I didn't laugh once
