What did she answer that needed to be scripted? Nothing seemed that crazy of an answer.

The most shocking part of this episode for me was that now we finally know where the Would You Rather theme is from... unless it was mentioned before some other time and I missed it.

Scott mentions it's a Sondheim song some time in one of the first ~dozen times they played it, but doesn't say which

I always thought about what I'd do if I were out at a theater and the Would You Rather music started playing and how I'd furiously look around for someone who might recognize it from CBB Then I remembered the chances of me being in a theater like that are ~0%

Wow this episode was great. I've only found the last couple of eps quite funny (relying a bit more on Improv4Humans for belly laughs) but man everyone was on top form. Poehler is amazing at improv, Adomian has brilliant characters that never stop being funny and Jason has such great banter with Scott that I wouldn't mind having him as a permenant co-host. I DON'T CARE!

Them laughing out of character when she explains that forks are just spoons with holes in them (you know, sideways holes) had me wiping tears. And the ever-going-deeper drug high. "I'm binoculars, tell everybody about me!"

There is no way they 'scripted' one of Scott's lovely little games.

None of the answers seemed too ridiculous to me, FWIW.

The only way to tell if it was scripted or not is to figure out if Amy got the maths right.

Does it matter if it's scripted? It was hilarious, the episode is a classic and I don't think anyone doubts that Amy is very funny.

Im pretty sure when people are saying its scripted they mean Amys last answer about the hot air balloon or whatever, and that's it. The rest of them were honest, improvised answers.

Uh Scott has gone on record in episode 73 saying that the entire show is written by Bruce Vilanch. A lot of people think it is largely improvised but that's just the result of Bruce's conversational writing style.

What if we found out all the podcasts were heavily scripted? Come on, no one is that funny. I heard Eddie Murphy and Russell Brand ghostwrite for Todd Glass Show.

I think I probably laughed the most at Scott coming back to his "Well, we've been trying for a few months now..." stuff and everyone just ignoring it and talking over him.

Neil and Scott scripting the bits means they come up with the bits then tell them to the guests, not that the guests get a little script. Like Hollywood Facts is scripted, but the guests don't know the swerve answers that scott has in his 'script'.

Yeah, that was my catchphrase.  Seriously, though, the last 2 times Jason's been on, he's done the "Is this still the catchphrase?" joke, and I laughed just as hard as I did the first time. It didn't go for quite as long this time, though.
