For those who don't know, Sam's dad is Robert Reich, the former Labor Secretary and progressive activist with his own KZbin channel that Sam occasionally shows up in, so Sam comes from a pretty liberal family. Casting Sam as some nutty right-wing Rupert Murdoch-style conservative demagogue media mogul, this skit is basically designed to have Sam gut-bursting. Well done writers, well done.

[@jedinxf7]

I had idea, but you left out acclaimed economist, and honestly "former labor secretary" doesn't do justice to one of the most respected cabinet members of the last century. not exaggerating; and it's very rare for a cabinet member other than secstate, the AG, or in worse times secdef to have that sort of lasting legacy in the mind of the public (at least, of the informed public).

[@OFS_Razgriz]

Also Sam is friends with Adam Conover who is in the leadership of the writer's guild and supported the SAG-AFTRA strike. Also also Sam has collaborated with the former First Lady Michelle Obama to direct videos for some of her social campaigns and appearances on talk shows and stuff.

Congrats to Carolyn for finally getting Katie to giggle!!! The fortress has been breached! :)

[@darthizzle]

This is Katie's best performance by far. I loved how she read her part

[@Dact78]

I cannot believe the kind of person Sam Reich has become.

[@Zelmel]

Rewatching this for the Nth time, and Katie's face after "I'm glad to see Trebek go" was the real best feeling.

[@PSroka]

Ive watched and showed this to a dozen people a dozen times on dropout, and I'm watching it again!

[@toothfairy10133]

the way this was specifically aimed to attack sam and yet carolyn was not far behind him for most of the episode

[@romxxii]

Rice being flavorful is not a hot take, Sam. It's an Asian take. Rice is delicious. Ask any Asian, the first spoonful (or chopstick-full) of rice after an extended Western diet tastes delightfully sweet, and even better when served with something savory or saucy that'll get absorbed by the rice.

[@miriamrosemary9110]

I'm not Asian and I fully agree. I love the taste of rice.

[@michaelfradley6950]

I agree! glad my man Sam is speaking the truth.

[@ecamiran4004]

Can't forget that there are also different rices, each with a different flavor depending on what you want to do with it.

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

When someone tells you rice is bland, all that actually says is that they don't know how to cook.

I LOVE when they get the chance to improvise, it is always so good

[@Tayday12]

this episode is so genius. i loved hearing grants unhinged laughter in the background constantly. that man is LIVING

[@TKBarnes]

This episode just reinforced in me the firm belief that Brennan is a borderline sociopath and Katie is an actual psychopath. God I love them.

[@charlesbronson2926]

Knowing Sam loves survivor explains why they made that survivor themed game changer

[@TheBleuHAZE]

I haven't seen an episode of breaking news that I can remember literally making me cry from how funny it is.This episode has tears coming down my face and its hard to breathe bravo!

[@romxxii]

Of course Brennan "Bird Facts" Mulligan would react visibly to the description of bird genocide.

[@vaylonkenadell]

I cackled when Sam made the sign of the cross after insulting Samuel Beckett. Now _that_ is comedy.

[@prettypancakes2359]

Absolute all star team on this one

[@jaderush4141]

0:51 His voice going up and up as he struggles through that phrase in one breath to end with a confused "contestant?" and immediately move on is incredible
