Make Some Noise is an American improvisational comedy television show hosted by Sam Reich and released fortnightly on SVOD service Dropout. [1] [2] The show is a spin-off of the Dropout game show Game Changer , which featured the same format in the episode of the same name and multiple sequel episodes, each starring Brennan Lee Mulligan, Zac Oyama, and Josh Ruben. [3]
Make Some Noise premiered on June 13, 2022 with a 10-episode season; season two, with 15 episodes, aired in 2023, and a third season consisting of 20 episodes is scheduled for release starting in June 2024. [4]
Each episode features three comedians competing as players, who must improvise scenes based on prompts from Reich. The players are then awarded "points", though the amounts given are jokes and no numbers are actually tracked. The game is split into three rounds: in the first round, the players each respond to individual prompts; in the second round, the players do the prompts in groups of two; in the third and final round, all three players improvise each scene together. A minigame takes place between each round, with the players competing in a specific challenge, such as imitating a specific sound using a prop or coming up with a name for something presented on screen.
Some episodes feature alternate formats, such as all prompts being based around impressions. One of these formats, "Karaoke Night", was introduced in the second season, based on the Game Changer episode of the same name. In "Karaoke Night" episodes, players choose a song title and musical artist from a large binder, and must improvise a song in the style of the artist provided, accompanied by keyboardist Aaron Wilson. The rounds work the same way as the main game, with the first round being solos, second round being duets, and all three players singing together in the final round. The final episode of each season is a "Cut for Time" special, consisting of scenes and prompts that were omitted from previous episodes for reasons such as quality, good taste, or episode length.
At the end of each episode, a "winner" is decided by Reich, who awards them a "golden ear" trophy as a prize.
