Hoedown: Halloween
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Host Clive Anderson calls all four performers down for a hoedown, with Richard Vranch vamping at the piano, and asks the audience for a reason families get together. He swats away a ruder shout and settles on Halloween. Greg Proops opens with a trick-or-treater who has his own chemical reason for not minding the rocks and bugs in his bag, Colin Mochrie complains that he frightens children without needing a mask, Niall Ashdown, on his first Whose Line outing, wrestles a wizard and a blizzard into rhyme before limping to an unfortunate ending, and Ryan Stiles closes by revealing the costume that sends neighbours running every year: Clive Anderson.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Incest is a bit too strong for British viewers.
But I do not care, 'cause I trick-or-treat on drugs.
That's because every year I dress as Clive Anderson.

This was Niall Ashdown's first episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway?. Channel 4 lists it as Series 7, Episode 3, first shown on 11 August 1995, while the Whose Line fan wiki files the same games as the series opener.
