Dropout’s Very Important People season 2 trailer promises even more hilarious interviews with bizarre characters

One of the funniest additions to comedy streaming service Dropout’s newly expansive portfolio has been Very Important People. Hosted by Vic Michaelis, the show is a faux news program where Michaelis interviews guests — all talented improvisers who have been given extreme makeovers and are asked to create a character on the spot. The first season included guests who performed as a pair of haunted dolls, a mad scientist, an alien, and Michaelis’s ex step-grandmother. Season two arrives next month, starting Nov. 7, and we got our first look at the guests and what they’re up to in a trailer released Thursday.

Michaelis’s commitment to the deadpan delivery of a public access television interviewer helps make the show special (as do the rare moments when the guests make Michaelis break), and the incredible makeup team never fails to impress with costumes, prosthetics, and looks for the guest. The show also thrives on the talents of its guests, and the lineup for the second season is very enticing.

There will be recognizable names for Dropout fans — regulars Brennan Lee Mulligan, Zac Oyama, Izzy Roland, Alex Song-Xia, Anna Garcia, Jacob Wysocki, Paul Robalino, Paul F. Tompkins, and Kimia Behpoornia will all make appearances. Other guests this season include John Early (Search Party), Kate Berlant (Don’t Worry Darling), Danielle Pinnock (Ghosts), Chris Redd (Saturday Night Live), Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live), Nicole Byer (Nailed It!), Corin Wells (A Black Lady Sketch Show), and Echo Kellum (Arrow). It’s a star-studded list of funny people for a show that never fails to deliver laughs.

Season 2 of Very Important People premieres on Dropout Nov. 7. It will be a 16-episode season, with new episodes premiering every other Thursday at 7 p.m. ET.
