“Very Important People” is an American improvisational comedy talk show that premiered on Dropout in December 2023, hosted by Vic Michaelis as a fictionalized version of themself. A reboot of the 2010 CollegeHumor series “Hello, My Name Is…,” episodes feature comedians who, after being unwittingly transformed via extensive makeup and costuming, have to devise characters from first impressions for an interview with Michaelis’ host persona. The show’s third season aired from December 2025 to June 2026. Michaelis was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experience making the talk show, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the show, which is up for your consideration for this year’s Emmy Awards and is now available to stream on Dropout. Thank you, and enjoy!
