Game Changer

Game Changer is a comedy panel game show on Dropout created by Sam Reich. The show follows players (typically three players, mostly comedians), participating in a new game every episode, with the players usually not understanding the premise and rules of the game beforehand. The show has been described as one that "combines improv comedy, puzzle solving, fierce competition, and a prankster ethos." Three of the games played have been spun off into their own shows on Dropout. Premise The show is based on one central theme: the players start the game knowing nothing. While some episodes may deviate from this theme, most episodes follow this format. Most episodes follow three contestants playing against each other by following prompts and tasks put out by the host of the show, Sam Reich. It also sometimes parodies other shows like Survivor and The Bachelor. Occasionally, special guests will participate in the game. The very first episode featured the participants' significant others, and the inclusion of guests outside of the Dropout/CollegeHumor community began with the virtually filmed third season, which featured guests such as Tony Hawk, Michael Winslow, and Giancarlo Esposito. Later guests have included Jewel, Ty Mitchell, Bob the Drag Queen, and Howie Mandel. History Game Changer was created as an original show for the streaming service Dropout, in response to internal pressure to create more inexpensive, unscripted content compared to CollegeHumor's previous output. Early in development, the show was titled What the What and based loosely on the party game "Scissors". The show was announced on August 29, 2019 and released on September 20, 2019.
