Dropout I’m looking at Vic Michaelis sideways…Literally.
It’s Friday afternoon, two days after Dropout held its first-ever Emmys FYC event at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, and Michaelis’s Zoom feed has rotated 90 degrees. In traditional Michaelis fashion, they are apologizing for it. “I’m sorry, I look insane,” they say, four clips in their hair, wearing the brown suit familiar to anyone who’s watched an episode of “Very Important People,” the prosthetics-driven talk show they host that’s wrapping its third season on the indie streaming platform. And they’re filming a new fourth season, shooting all the episodes in eight days. They’re currently on day three.
