Ryan Stiles has known Charlie Sheen for over 20 years, and has worked with him on 'Two and a Half Men' for the last five as Herb, the hapless second husband of the ex of Charlie Harper's brother Alan (Jon Cryer). If you ask him, he thinks the whole "Winning!" version of Sheen we've seen over the last couple of months has been all an act.

"I guess I know a different Charlie than everybody else," he told me last week, "but to me, it's like the tiger blood and all that kind of stuff, I think that's kind of a big joke to him. I don't think he really believes anything that he's saying. I mean, he's just ... The guy I know is just a normal, nice guy, you know?"

That easygoing relationship led to Sheen's guest appearance on 'Drew Carey's Improv-a-Ganza,...

The place and timing of the its taping are noteworthy: It was done at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Jan. 18. That is a week after Sheen's weekend-long binge in Las Vegas in the company of porn stars and alcohol and a week before the 36-hour bender at Sheen's house with porn stars and drugs that ended with him in the hospital and led to the production shutdown on Two and a Half Men and ultimately to Sheen's firing from the show. The cast of Improv-a-Ganza, which seems to be in the vein of ABC's Carey-hosted Whose Line Is It Anyway, features severals alums from that show. It includes Carey, Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and Greg Proops.
