As a seasoned movie buff with a penchant for indie gems and offbeat humor, I’m genuinely thrilled about the guest lineup for “Very Important People” Season 2 on Dropout. The twist of makeovers and impromptu character creation promises an intriguing blend of familiar faces in unexpected roles.


Indie broadcaster Dropout has announced the complete list of celebrity guests for the second season of the comedic talk show “Very Important People,” hosted by Vic Michaelis.

As a devoted cinephile, I must share my excitement about “Very Important People”, a unique talk show where Michaelis graciously guides the stage. The intriguing twist? Each guest undergoes a surprising makeover before their conversation and is tasked with instantly conjuring up a character to play throughout the interview! It’s like stepping into a film set, right in the heart of each episode!

After the August 14 announcement of the celebrity cast for the initial eight episodes of “Very Important People” Season 2, premiering on November 7, it has been verified that Bobby Moynihan (“Saturday Night Live”), Nicole Byer (“Nailed It!”), Echo Kellum (“Arrow”), Corin Wells (“A Black Lady Sketch Show”), Alex Song-Xia (“Rick & Morty”) and Paul Robalino (“Smarypants”) will star in episodes 9 through 16.

Moreover, “Very Important People” Season 1 stars Brennan Lee Mulligan (from “Dimension 20”), Izzy Roland (of “Sex Lives of College Girls”) and Lisa Gilroy (“Glamorous”) are set to reappear in different characters this time around.
