Gregory Everett Proops (born October 3, 1959) is an American actor, stand-up comedian and television host.

He is widely known for his guest appearances on the UK and U.S. versions of Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

He has also voiced the titular character on the U.S. version of Bob the Builder: Project: Build It in series 10 to 14.

Proops was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and raised in San Carlos, California, a suburb south of San Francisco, attending San Carlos High School.

Both Proops and McShane impressed producers Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, who put them on their show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

He frequently instigated jokes concerning various idiosyncrasies and differences between British English and American English, and would frequently banter with Clive Anderson on these matters (among others).

He lived in London for four years when he was doing the show and lists McShane, Richard Vranch and Colin Mochrie among his best friends.

After the show ended, he was recalled for the American version and has been a frequent "fourth contestant".

Before Smartest Man, Proops hosted a podcast called The Greg Proops Experiment.
