This is not a joke: CollegeHumor wants your Emmy vote. Actually, just over two months after the internet comedy company, which rebranded as Dropout last year, sold out a 17,000-seat live performance set for January 2025 at Madison Square Garden, that proposition might not seem as funny anymore.
For the second year in a row, Dropout is submitting its competition series “Game Changer” in the outstanding game show category, its sixth season vying for a nomination against decades-old contenders including “Family Feud,” “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune.”
In a stale category that’s gotten more attention since the Television Academy moved it from the Daytime to Primetime ceremonies in 2023, and amid a time of deep upheaval for Hollywood studios and mega streamers, Dropout has a better shot at a nod than it’s ever had before.
