## Resource

"Game Changer" is an American comedy panel game show on Dropout created and hosted by subscription streaming service CEO Sam Reich, which started in 2019. The show follows three comedians as they participate in a new game each episode, unaware of its premise and rules beforehand. Episodes of "Game Changer" have led to four spinoff shows on Dropout: "Dirty Laundry," "Make Some Noise," "Play It By Ear," and "Crowd Control." The show's eighth season premiered in May 2026 and is contending for Emmy recognition. Reich was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the game show, which you can 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!
