Now that I've potentially killed the thread....

In this regard, the role of the GM is closer to the role of Drew Carrey in "Whose line is it anyway?" (or for those in the UK, Clive Anderson), in that he chooses a theme or scenario and grades the performance of the players but otherwise has a very light touch on how the players actually perform.
As much as I liked my analogy I realized this one had some extra depth. ENWorld could be the studio audience in this analogy. Aren't there always threads with DMs posting "I need a trap" like the host of WLIIA asking for an unusual occupation? :)

Oh, and at the risk of a US vs UK WLIIA war, Clive is more a RBDM than Drew.

That's good - hadn't thought of that.

Oh, definitely. I much prefer Clive, but that's just personal preference. (Obviously.)

But, is there anything like a script written before an episode of WLIIA? :p :angel:
Well, yes. They plan on which games they will play, and not all of the suggestions for details come from the audience. Many times the parameters of the game are set out on the host's cards before the show begins.

The game where they dub over a film clip, for instance, requires advance planning.
