The Interrogation
1990s-present
Also known as Interrogation, Questioning
Two players interrogate a third about a bizarre or specific crime (audience-suggested); the suspect must build a defense on the fly while interrogators invent evidence.
Known for
- Lower-stakes cousin of Press Conference — suspect is invented, not a real historical figure.
- Common UK Whose Line format; also staple of ComedySportz 'murder scene' variants.
- Crime suggestion can be mundane ('stealing a pencil') for comedic undersell.
