Get ready for a wild ride because Very Important People Season 3 is here, and it’s about to push boundaries like never before! But here’s where it gets controversial: the trailer teases something ‘absolutely disgusting,’ all thanks to the eerie ‘thing behind’ host Vic Michaelis’s eyes—a desperate craving for approval. Intrigued? You should be.
This isn’t your average talk show. The improv interview series, streaming on Dropout, returns on December 4 with a twist that’ll keep you guessing. Comedian Rekha Shankar kicks off the season, stepping into the hot seat without a clue about her character until she’s fully transformed by the show’s makeup and costume team. And this is the part most people miss: the magic happens live, as Shankar improvises her new identity on the spot, while Michaelis interviews her as an aspiring broadcast journalist version of themselves. It’s chaotic, it’s brilliant, and it’s utterly unpredictable.
This season’s lineup is nothing short of stellar, featuring in-character interviews with Jeremy Culhane, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Jacob Wysocki, Angela Giarratana, Eugene Cordero, Demi Adejuyigbe, Lisa Gilroy, Frankie Quinones, Caitlin Reilly, Laci Mosley, Zac Oyama, Katya, Rachel Pegram, Chelsea Peretti, and Anna Garcia. Each guest undergoes a jaw-dropping makeover, emerging as someone entirely new—and often hilariously unexpected.
According to Dropout, Very Important People is more than just comedy; it’s a showcase of creativity under pressure. The improvisers aren’t just funny—they’re artists crafting characters in real time. But here’s the kicker: Is this genius or just plain chaotic? Some viewers love the spontaneity, while others argue it’s too unstructured. What do you think?
Season 3 drops its first episode on December 4, with 15 episodes releasing biweekly through June 18. And if you’re craving more, the Last Looks miniseries returns every Friday, peeling back the curtain on the mind-blowing makeup transformations. It’s like watching art come to life—but with a side of laughter.
So, are you team ‘this is comedy gold’ or team ‘it’s a hot mess’? Watch the trailer below and let us know in the comments—because one thing’s for sure: Very Important People Season 3 is anything but boring.
