    Gianmarco is one of those guys I expect to be big in the next 10 years. He's young, he's quick, and he's got my values.

      He got a part in one of their Big Hollywood Movies! Very minor but with lines, I'll never watch it but good for the lad!

    I watched the special the night it premiered and am watching it again today.

    Soresi is brilliant. He's got such a fun stage persona and he's so polished. He'll catch you off-guard with a clever one-liner or a joke that comes out of nowhere. There's no crowd work in this special (that I can remember?), but he uploads clips to YT of him talking to audience members that are also extremely charming and quick-witted.

    He's immediately vaulted to the top of my list of progressive comedians, along with James Acaster and Marc Maron. Very funny guy.

      Well, now your comment makes me want to see Gianmarco on Taskmaster.

      Edit: I guess I want anyone that has been involved even tangentially with Dropout content on Taskmaster. It’s a pretty large category now.

      I'm sure you've seen it but to others, PLEASE look up compilations of him on morning shows! He literally claims jester's privilege, ignores the format, the questions, rants and complains for 15 minutes in a bright red white and blue tank top.

      It is absolutely unhinged hahaha

        I kind of love that Game Changer has become an incubator for show ideas. First "Make Some Noise", now this. Would low-key kind of love a spinoff of the Survivor episodes as their own show with faux drama, tribes, alliances, etc. I haven't watched real Survivor since whenever they did the pirate themed one in the early days, but I would obsessively watch tongue-in-cheek take on it where nobody takes it too seriously.

          I think the survivor one is much harder to do both for legal reasons and because, IMO, it's not sustainable as a long running show. Either you're super competitive or you're voting Sam off.

            I'd settle for a special with a few more episodes than we got. I was left wanting more!
