Game Changer

Created and hosted by Sam Reich, Game Changer is the game show that changes every* time you play! Joined by new talent from the College Humor cast to compete for points and try to figure out what the game is that they will be playing. With formats like "make the noise like", "say the raunchiest thing", or even "perform an entire impromptu broadway show", after 6 seasons the show has matured phenomenally to something in that sweet spot between a Who's Line is it Anyway and @Midnight. Reich is always a great host, and the wit and frankly genius of the writing staff keeps pulling me in for more, the games are often so clever. You'll need the dedicated streaming service Dropout to watch, and now with my second time subscribing I can say this show alone is certainly worth at least a month, and there's plenty more from the CH crew on there, not to mention the multiple spin-offs of this show from formats that were overwhelmingly successful. S4E5 "The Official Cast Recording" is probably the one of the most entertaining, impressive, and fun 30 minutes of TV I watched and that's saying something (and makes sense got it owns spin-off). If you haven't seen I would highly recommend, always looking forward to more, great show.

I am one of those people who love introducing friends to great comedy shows, but never in my life have I laughed more than this show. Sam is truely a genius when it comes to making one of the best shows on TV. There has not been a single person out of the 15...ish? People I have shown this to that wasn't in tears within the first 5 minutes.

Although some episodes are a miss, I have to appreciate the risks this show is taking in an era of safe, risk-free comedy TV. This is truely revolutionary in the best way.

Out of the dozens of shows I watch, this is one of the few that I will always check on to see if there is another season comming out soon.

While the Zoom episodes are okay (they did the best they could), it's the studio episodes that make this show great. Game Changer is often hilarious, sometimes heartwarming, at times has genius-level twists/reveals, but is always creative and new.

Some favourite episodes: S1 E2, S2 E6, S4 E1, S4 E5, S4 E7, S5 E4, S5 E5, S5 E9, S6 E5, S6 E7, S7 E4, S7 E6, S7 E7.

As long as they keep making them, I'll be here here the whole time.

One other reviewer here has expressed annoyance at the first episode of season 3. While it's true it is not the most creative or fun episode, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of viewers will know REDACTED.

The very concept of the show means that there is no shortage of creativity and new ideas in every episode. The comedy is brilliant. Late night shows wish they had people this funny and ideas this hilarious.

You will also gain an appreciation for the different people and their unique personalities, you gain an even deeper appreciation for much of the comedy. The more episodes you watch, the more familiar you become with the eccentric cast. I've shown some episodes to dozens of friends and almost all of them end up completely hooked and begging to watch more episodes.

Sam Reisch is a brilliant host, with a laugh that encourages you to laugh along with him. Not every episode's concept is a winner, but the show as a whole is an absolute game changer for game shows.

I've been watching Game Changer for a few years now and am so frustrated that a show this great isn't being watched by more people.

It's everything you could want in a game show. We've got incredible production design, hilarious contestants and hijinks, clever plot twists, in-jokes and callbacks, and a really genuine heart to it all.

Watching Dropout shows in general feels a bit like watching Buzzfeed or the Bon Appetit Test Kitchen in their primes; here are a group of interesting and funny people doing what they love well and interacting with each other in different combinations to do it.

Not every episode is a 10/10, but there are no bad episodes. And when they're good oh you better believe they're insanely good. Once you can convince someone to try an episode, they're hooked. And somehow each season they manage to outdo themselves and what they pulled off last season. It's criminal these folks haven't won some Emmys yet.

I'm so excited to see what comes next and hoping more and more people can find and appreciate the magic going on here.
