Hosting is a <strong>lot </strong>more work than it seems, and Beavis is only touching very lightly on a few execution aspects of it. I have seen tons of shows with either poor hosting, or worse, under/no hosting to speak of (hosting is a lot more than just walking out saying "we are starting another game"). There is a serious art to it, involving everything from high skill in comedic timing to dynamic group management. Hmmm....there might be more posts about that ... ~ Dave Thanks man.

You make it look so easy; but it is anything but. Improv performers are living on the edge so much of the time. Hats off to the guys who try to give it structure. The old adage is true.
