Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The show where everything's made up and the points don't matter is returning to American television screens for the first time in almost a decade.

Whose Line Is It Anyway?, based on the British series of the same name, ran for eight series from 1998 to 2005.

Previously hosted by Drew Carey on ABC, the revived version will be fronted by chat show host Aisha Tyler and be broadcast by The CW network.

As the show is carried by the improvisational skills of its contestants several of the original line-up is set to return for the revived series. Among them are Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie.

Whose Line Is It Anyway? was originally devised for BBC Radio 4 in 1988 but was later adapted for television and broadcast on Channel 4 for ten series with Clive Anderson as host.
