I realize itโs probably a pipe dream, but I keep half-hoping that Kimmel and Colbert have enough connections to Dropout to be convinced to join forces with them and help to build a fully independent comedy empire.
Iโm not confident Dropoutโs model can scale like that but if Lou Wilson can get Jimmy and Sam into the same room to talk shop? If Ify lures Stephen with a LOTR themed Um Actually? The possibilities are fun to imagine.
Dropout is such good value. Gastronauts is sincerely my favorite cooking show out there. I like seeing talented cooks compete in a way that feels like they all get to show off their skills rather than manufactured conflict of other competitive shows.
Dropout has a pretty deep library at this point too. It's all comedy adjacent, but there's a lot of variety. There's a new cooking show called Gastronauts that's fantastic, a gameshow based on nerd trivia, "Umm Actually" and Gamechanger, where the premise is different every episode.
