Vic Michaelis On Hosting "Very Important People," Improv Comedy & Emmy Campaigning | Interview

Comedian, actor, writer, and host Vic Michaelis joins Daniel Howat for Next Best Picture to discuss the acclaimed Dropout improvisational comedy talk show "Very Important People." A reboot of the classic CollegeHumor series "Hello, My Name Is...," "Very Important People" features comedians who are transformed through elaborate makeup and costuming before having to create entirely original characters from first impressions alone. As the host, Michaelis guides each interview as a heightened fictionalized version of themself, helping create some of the funniest and most unpredictable moments in comedy television today. During this conversation, Michaelis discusses developing the show's unique format, embracing improvisation, collaborating with the makeup and costume teams, working with the incredible roster of comedians who have appeared on the series, and how "Very Important People" has evolved over its first three seasons. They also reflect on the show's passionate fanbase, the creative environment at Dropout, and what it means for the series to be in contention for Emmy recognition this year. The third season of "Very Important People" aired from December 2025 through June 2026 and is now available to stream on Dropout.
