Game Changer has submitted itself for an Emmy in the Game Show category, going up against such titans as Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune...and I think it deserves to win. Let me tell you why.

One thing that I feel is unique to game shows where the contestants come from a known pool like this (whose line, mogul money, and even celebrity family feud) is that the contestants have a natural stage presence. They aren’t nervous or awkward or anything. And because the people in those shows are usually fairly wealthy (or in game changers case the prizes are few and far between) the contestants are less desperate to win because the stakes aren’t as high for them. This is also the case in a lot of British panel shows that are frequented entirely by comedians. Out of those shows I think the one with the closest vibe is probably Taskmaster but even that creates a less relaxed atmosphere through its set design.

what i think sets it apart is the fact that it is designed as a comedy show rather than a competition. the contestants are established actors and comedians and have a good stage presence, and the comedy is not overshadowed by the competitive nature so commonly found in game shows (with the exception of brennan). that plus the changing rules each show just makes it so interesting and fun to watch. i really love the low stakes, mildly competitive, fun having, knee slapping vibe from game changer, and i really do think it should win some awards soon.

One thing a lot of people don't talk about is the fact that Dropout has innovated on the marketing front here too. The game itself is DESIGNED to create clippable moments, which can easily be shared to KZbin, TikTok, Instagram, and more, driving people to the paid content. (Which, by the way, having it behind a paywall on a platform they control is a far more effective money maker than relying on ad revenue on the platforms themselves.)

I think the focus on the contestants as opposed to the show itself is also shown in the fact that points don't matter. In a regular game show they're everything that matters at the end of the day. That one point could be the one thing separating this person from a million dollars or whatever. In game changer, sure there is sometimes a prize for the winner but that's not why they play it. The points are there pretty much just to be a driving vehicle for the episode to go along and deciding a winner is there just so there is resolution. The real thing that matters is if an episode is entertaining or not, which is also why you occasionally see other contestants joining in on improv prompts they weren't assigned if they think it'd improve it

i feel like a big part of normal game shows like jeopardy or who wants to be a millionaire is also the "shotgun effect" you get as a casual watcher, where you as the audience can guess on the prompts and questions yourself. game changer innovates on this in making the prompts oftentimes "unguessable" and funneling the joy into trying to figure out the rule of the game before the contestants do, and if you do delighting in watching them do so

The ideas of individual episodes don’t even have to be complex or super unique. Sam Says has happened three separate times, but the contestants are all comedians, so the chaos of Sam Says, mixed with the funniness of the contestants, and the joint effort they can all have for bits, makes it so much more than a new complex game each episode, which is only enjoyable because of the game

Game Changer has what might be the best writers in comedy despite appearing like it relies more on improv. I am awed by the prompts in 'Sam Says'. I can't begin to imagine the process that goes into creating them. This show is so far removed from your typical improv it never even occurred to me that it's technically in the same category as 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' but I would be shocked if Ryan or Colin could work at this level. Wayne Brady was on but they did tailor that episode of 'Make Some Noise' to his strength. Funnily enough it's probably because I don't really know Ryan or Colin all that well that I don't see them on the show. As soon as Brennan or Josh walk out I know exactly what to expect. I do think it'd be interesting to have them.

Holy shit, i just realized something. There's long been talk about how the very fun and good Taskmaster (the british game show) somehow doesn't translate well to american audiences, how the attempt to bring it overseas failed, and the like. But Game Changer, in its essence of a game where points don't matter as much as being entertaining, breaking the rules is encouraged, and every single round is something completely new, with banter inbetween and a charismatic host... IS an american Taskmaster, just with less contestant, less season-wide continuity, and more bite-sized challenges.

There is an argument to be made though that Game Changer isn't a game show, but an improv show wearing a game show theme as a hat. The prizes are rarely ever significant. The contestants are generally the same cast of professional, paid actors instead of contestants pooled through some unknown screening method like in Family Feud, Jeopardy, or Wheel of Fortune or pulled seemingly at random from a live studio audience like with The Price is Right. It's like every episode is celebrity Jeopardy except the winnings aren't often donated to charity to justify having paid actors as contestants. Which is largely fine, because the prizes aren't significant and the show is entertaining regardless. It's like Whose Line is it Anyway, everything's made up and the points don't matter. You watch it because the contestants are clever, entertaining, and hilarious people with acting and improv experience. You watch a game show because the contestants are everyday people like the viewers, ostensibly they are not paid to be there, and you can get wrapped up in the vicarious excitement of competing for fabulous prizes. Granted, Game Changer is far closer to a game show than Whose Line but it's definitely more improv show with a game show hat than pure game show. But maybe I just have a more limited concept of what a game show is.

Don't know how I haven't seen this video before. You made some solid points, but as a lot of other people have pointed out, Taskmaster and other British panel shows did a lot of this before Game Changer. As a big Taskmaster and Dropout fan, I certainly want to see the two crossover, whether it be the odd Dropout member appearing in a UK series, or more likely Sam getting permission to do a Taskmaster US series (we do not speak of the first TM US attempt). I'd probably want Katie or Grant in the assistant role to Sam, as either offer a different flavour to Alex Horne.

At the very least even if Sam paid for the ticket, Allie still spent a whole fucking day of their life on a “Sam says leave” joke and most people wouldn’t do that.

One nitpick is that Game Changer is far more like a panel game (perhaps the closest the US has to one, at least on video) than a proper game show. The contestants are mostly from the same rotating lineup, with the occasional guest contestant, but not people off the street or who apply to qualify. Meanwhile the contestants on WOF etc. are mostly regular random people (aside from the occasional budding actor/actress looking for screen time).

Idk if its exactly a game show or not, but taskmaster is kind of similar to game shows, theres a selected cast of comedians and the game changes every episode. Both of these shows are so great and i hope this becomes more common!

Taskmaster is a gameshow around the contestants where the task "game" changes every round. Granted majority of the tasks are prerecorded due to the nature of the tasks. Not shitting on this show, or saying they ripped the idea, just thats not the only show messing with the boundaries

I wish I could even watch a single episode instead of just clips. I think it could win if it was more giving with an episode or two to show how good the whole format is.

Dropout has free trials, and they've explicitly said they want people to share their accounts with friends (as a response to Netflix taking actions to stop that). There are even some full episodes on KZbin. If you want to watch one episode for free, it's definitely possible.

Because it basically isn't a gameshow. It's an improv game (with occasional scripted parts), and often doesn't have prizes (a necessity to being a game show).

I think maybe it's most standout feature is it's personal aspect. Most of the cast have worked together for over a decade, and everyone is a genuine friend of each other. The comedy from that can feel more genuine at times, which is very nice!
