Jonathan Monkhouse

British improvisor Jonathan Monkhouse was originally scheduled to play in the 44-Hour Marathon. Due to visa troubles, neither Monkhouse nor his improv partner Chris Mead were able to come to the United States.

Michael Joplin stepped in as Jonathan's replacement in the core cast.

The Saturday 2am slot was originally scheduled for Project2, the science-fiction troupe that both Monkhouse and Chris Mead are a part of.

The Sunday 6am slot was originally scheduled for "The Queen is not Amused", wherein Monkhouse would impersonate the Queen for the full hour.
