Dropout, Formerly CollegeHumor, Dives Into FYC Season With ‘Game Changer’: ‘We’re Not Going Anywhere’
Dropout CEO Sam Reich and star Brennan Lee Mulligan talk about bringing the former CollegeHumor into the Emmy FYC race with "Game Changer."
Actually, just over two months after the internet comedy company, which rebranded as Dropout last year, sold out a 17,000-seat live performance set for January 2025 at Madison Square Garden, that proposition might not seem as funny anymore. In a stale category that’s gotten more attention since the Television Academy moved it from the Daytime to Primetime ceremonies in 2023, and amid a time of deep upheaval for Hollywood studios and mega streamers, Dropout has a better shot at a nod than it’s ever had before. All the while, the growing audience and acclaim for Season 6 of “Game Changer” are the direct result of a “funny” story executive producer Paul Robalino tells about the Dropout team (then still CollegeHumor, and then still majority owned by Barry Diller’s media company IAC) just trying to get something, anything, new onto the indie streamer in fall 2019, when “Dimension 20” was doing all the heavy lifting.
