On Thank God, the goal seems to be to create an instant blooper reel where one player on stage (and only one) is in trouble and we can laugh at his predicament and perhaps applaud how he gets out of it.

There are some theater games in the classic tradition that revolve around one person not knowing who he is or what the scene is about…but even in those, as played at Second City, no one has any advance prep. So it’s a challenge for the one na
