I'll have to watch tonight's episode on VOD, but I noticed it's described as
'Jonathan Mangum 6' on the CW website. That's relevant because episodes 5 and
7 featuring Magnum aired last year, according to epguides.com.
If their information is correct, next week's 'new' episode with Greg Proops is
3 in the series. Episode 5 aired earlier this year.
My sense is that Whose Line banks episodes always. Ryan Stiles lives in
Washington state, and Wayne Brady has a full schedule outside of "Deal" and
theater gigs. Add to that the time involved in plucking episodes out of
lengthy taping sessions, and I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

I think I broached this a day too soon. Tonight's "new" Whose Line included
what played as contemporary references to the Republican debates and the
presidential election. (And Wayne Brady looked decidedly younger than expected.)

Kevin might have been thinking of Cliff Arquette, a.k.a. Charley Weaver — he
died in September 1974, and would have been seen on the syndicated nighttime
“Hollywood Squares” for months afterward, thanks in particular to the
“bicycling” method of distribution.

Not really. He returned to "Hollywood Squares" after a year off (IIRC, fired
for general unpleasantness) for the original version's last syndication season
taped in the summer of 1980 and aired into the summer of 1981. None of the
original episodes were repeated until Game Show Network started showing them in
2000 or so--18 years after his death in 1982.

Indulging my puzzle habit, I'm watching (skimming) Hollywood Game Night, and am
slightly astounded to discover how long NBC has been incubating these episodes.
Two of the celebs promoted their latest projects -- a TV show and a movie from
2018. I wonder how long it'll be before they air a show featuring somebody who
has already died.
I seem to recall Paul Lynde lived a lot longer on the Hollywood Squares than he
did in real life.
