After returning to Los Angeles as a young adult, he began performing with improv troupes and appeared in episodes of the syndicated late-night comedy show *Kwik Witz* (1996), which featured improvisers from across the United States. He also had a long national run as a [Coors Light](https://www.edgepedia.org/coors-light) spokesperson and became a founding member of the Impromptones, a singing improv group that performed to sold-out crowds across the country.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0204797/bio/)

## Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Davis first appeared on the American *Whose Line Is It Anyway?* on ABC in the season 4 episode aired November 22, 2001, performing alongside host [Drew Carey](https://www.edgepedia.org/drew-carey) and regulars [Colin Mochrie](https://www.edgepedia.org/colin-mochrie), Ryan Stiles, and [Wayne Brady](https://www.edgepedia.org/wayne-brady).[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/49014/whose-line-is-it-anyway-4x16-jeff-davis) IMDb credits him with 9 episodes of the ABC run between 2000 and 2007.[6](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163507/fullcredits/) When the show was revived on The CW in 2013 with Aisha Tyler as host, Davis returned as a recurring guest performer; TVGuide lists him among the show's guest performers across the revival's run.[10](https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/whose-line-is-it-anyway/cast/1060520414/)
Because he sings, Davis frequently appears in the show's musical games.

There's no rehearsals, no equipment, no lines to remember, and no notes at the end of the show."[11](https://www.indulgexpress.com/amp/story/entertainment/2017/Dec/01/jeff-davis-talks-whose-line-is-it-anyway-and-his-comedy-heroes-5066.html)
