De Lama's (translation: The Llamas) is a Dutch television show of BNN that was first aired on June 28, 2004. It is based on the Channel 4 show Whose Line is it Anyway.

Patrick Lodiers is host of the show, which is a combination of well-known and less-known theatresports-parts. The most important is improvisation.

De Lama's consist of the following comedians: Ruben Nicolaï, Tijl Beckand, Ruben van der Meer, Jeroen van Koningsbrugge, Jandino Asporaat and Ad-Just Bouwman. Sara Kroos, Arie Koomen, Kristel Zweers and Martijn Oosterhuis are ex-Lama's. Other than in the British and American show, the Dutch team consists not only of four comedians but also a fifth member, called the Gast Lama (Dutch for Guest Llama). This is always a famous person from The Netherlands (or Belgium). Because two of the five members left at the end of this season, it's not possible anymore to form a whole team. This is why broadcaster BNN started Lama Gezocht in which viewers of the show can apply to become a part of the team. This show recently ended, and Ad-Just Bouwman was chosen as the new Lama.

In 2006, the show won the Gouden Televizier-ring, a prestigeous Dutch television award for the year's most popular programme on tv as chosen by the audience. It was the first BNN-show since the station's start in 1997 to win the 'ring'.
