\n\tI\u2019m looking at Vic Michaelis sideways\u2026Literally<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s Friday afternoon, two days after Dropout held its first-ever Emmys FYC event at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, and Michaelis\u2019s Zoom feed has rotated 90 degrees. In traditional Michaelis fashion, they are apologizing for it. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I look insane,\u201d they say, four clips in their hair, wearing the brown suit familiar to anyone who\u2019s watched an episode of \u201cVery Important People,\u201d the prosthetics-driven talk show they host that\u2019s wrapping its third season on the indie streaming platform. And they\u2019re filming a new fourth season, shooting all the episodes in eight days. They\u2019re currently on day three.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo nights earlier, Michaelis competed in a live miniature version of the game show, \u201cGame Changer,\u201d alongside longtime cast members Brennan Lee Mulligan and Lou Wilson, with Dropout CEO Sam Reich steering the group through the kind of absurd mini-games that have built the niche platform\u2019s devoted following.<\/p>\n

\n\tMichaelis has been part of the Dropout fold since the company was still known as CollegeHumor, playing small roles while performing with the Upright Citizens Brigade in L.A., and is now a fixture across the company\u2019s signature platforms, including \u201cMake Some Noise\u201d and \u201cSmartypants.\u201d But the comedian\u2019s mark is increasingly being made outside the sketch comedy space. After a recurring run as Mildred in Season 2 of \u201cUpload,\u201d they landed a series regular role this past year as Cheryl Szymanski in the Peacock spy thriller \u201cPonies,\u201d opposite Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, they are doing Dropout because they want to, and not \u201cjust to make rent.\u201d In a sitdown with Variety<\/em>, they lay it all out.<\/p>\n

\nThis interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s a tough industry, especially for someone as kind-hearted as you. How have you navigated it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m lucky. I have a very normal life and a family that, in the best possible way, does not care even a little bit about what I do for a living. They\u2019re very proud of me, and very supportive. Trying to tell my dad I was going to pursue improv comedy as a living was not the easiest conversation. Honestly, the only worse thing I could have told him was that I was getting a tattoo. He didn\u2019t understand it, but he quickly jumped in and learned a lot. He comes to all my shows and watches all my stuff. If I\u2019d wanted to do business, or law, or cut hair, he would have felt the same way about any of those things.<\/p>\n

\n\tI think it\u2019s important. It is having people in your circle who ground you and remind you that you\u2019re a human being first. This is a town that can make you feel like you\u2019re the only person that matters, and that\u2019s obviously not true. You\u2019re a very tiny piece in a much bigger cosmic puzzle.<\/p>\n

\nIf you weren\u2019t doing this, what would you be doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tNurse.<\/p>\n

\nSet the scene. What does Michaelis, the nurse, look like when walking into the room?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI think about this so much. My mom spent a lot of time in hospitals over the last few years, and I spent a lot of time in the medical care system in the States, which is just so broken. Hospitals are where people have their best and worst days. Somebody is getting excellent news and going home, or somebody is getting bad news. So many highs and lows and big emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tDoctors come in and out, and obviously are very busy and have very important jobs, but nurses are the people talking to you every day, dealing with those emotions. It\u2019s a performance in itself. The nurses I dealt with who were the most effective were the ones who could connect with you with a little bit of humor but were also focused and blunt enough to change the course of your day. Could I pull blood? Probably not. That might disqualify me. But I\u2019d like to think I could if I had even one day of training.<\/p>\n

\nWhat did your parents do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tMy dad was in business, like a real road dog. He traveled my whole childhood. When we moved to Canada when I was 15, it was, to my memory, the most time I had ever spent with him. Suddenly, he was around all the time. My parents divorced pretty young, but my mom lived outside Chicago and worked in eldercare, helping elderly people who want to stay in their homes but need in-home caregiving.<\/p>\n

\nYou did 14 episodes this season of \u201cVery Important People.\u201d Did you ever think the show would last three seasons? Or even three episodes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHonestly, I thought I was getting away with murder doing the first one. I wasn\u2019t sure if there was a world at the very beginning of pre-production that the host would rotate. So I said, how do I tangle myself up in this character so much that it\u2019s impossible to replace me with somebody else? How do I become a necklace? You know when you layer necklaces on top of each other and they get so twisted that you have to throw both of them away? I said that\u2019s going to be the VIP. You get rid of me, and if you decide it\u2019s not working, then you\u2019ve got to throw the whole thing out.<\/p>\n

\nI keep hoping you\u2019ll surprise me and have someone like Tom Cruise on the show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tBy accident, every season.<\/p>\n

\nIs he there every season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYou have to spot him.<\/p>\n

\nThis season, you had one of my secret favorite people, Angela Giarratana from Smosh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s the secret? Make it public. I love her. They\u2019re all so talented at Smosh. I would love to have Shayne Topp and Amanda Lehan-Canto on at some point. The whole cast is so wonderful, they\u2019re all friends, and I\u2019m so lucky to call them friends now. Angela, in particular, has been such a good friend for such a long time. She\u2019s really one of my best friends, and just somebody who\u2019s already obviously known. I can\u2019t wait for her to blow up even more than she has already.<\/p>\n

\nYouTube shows like \u201cHot Ones\u201d and \u201cRoyal Court\u201d were submitted at the Emmys this year. Sam Reich has said, \u201cIf someone gets in, it\u2019s a win for all of us.\u201d Do you agree?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAwards, in general, are an interesting thing. You look back on where they come from and the history, and it is special for people to recognize you. Where we\u2019re at within the industry, especially right now, and how new media and independent streamers are viewed by some legacy media, there still seems to be a gate in between. If someone breaks through, we change perception. We\u2019re changing minds. It truly is a community win because it means the gate is open. Even if it\u2019s just a tiny little bit. Anybody getting a nomination, \u201cMythical Kitchen,\u201d literally any of those, it only means good things for everybody.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tYou know what they say. \u201cRising boats flood the town.\u201d What is it?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRising tides kill all ships?\u201d What is it?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t[Publicist chimes in with \u201cRising tides lift all boats.\u201d]<\/p>\n

\n\tOh yeah, \u201call boats go to heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPerforming with \u201cGame Changer,\u201d it\u2019s not about winning the episode. It\u2019s about creating moments and connecting with the audience. It\u2019s a similar principle here. It\u2019s not about who wins or is nominated. It\u2019s about opening the door and changing the landscape. It\u2019s playing for something bigger than the perceived goal.<\/p>\n

\nI have to follow up on our very first interview in 2024. How are you opening Gmail on your phone today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI can\u2019t talk about this with you, Clayton. I\u2019m not doing this with you. Downloaded the app. Is that what you want to hear? I got the app.<\/p>\n

\nDid you really <\/em>get the app?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI got bullied by my friends, and somebody that I respect in the industry, now I have the app. I hope you\u2019re happy.<\/p>\n

\nAre you mad at Variety <\/em>at all for what got out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI wasn\u2019t mad. I was disappointed and furious. You know how something happens, and then it just becomes part of your public persona. That is just a thing now. It\u2019s like a part of my cache of things, like pretzel pizza, \u201ccan I have a dollar,\u201d or \u201cEvelyn Tucci,\u201d and that I don\u2019t have Gmail on my phone.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m glad to provide the service to make you more efficient.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m shaking my head, and I want that on the record.<\/p>\n

\nWhat are you looking for in roles? What do you have coming up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019ve got a video game coming out soon, which I\u2019m really excited about. It\u2019s different than anything I\u2019ve ever done. It was an absolute blast. In general, \u201cPonies\u201d was such a delight. If I could hand-pick the types of parts I would want to be doing, it\u2019s getting to be a fun character in a prestige action-adventure. Like, that\u2019s literally all I would want to do. You know the movie \u201cSan Andreas\u201d? I want to do \u201cSan Andreas.\u201d I want to be both Alexandra Daddario and The Rock. I want adventurous stuff, monster-y things. There is so much cool stuff to be done and to be made. I remember the feeling I got watching the first \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy\u201d in theaters. It just rewired my brain chemistry. I want to do things that make my dad really excited to see. I\u2019ve been so lucky that the kind of stuff I\u2019ve done has been the kind that makes my dad go, \u201cThis is exactly the type of stuff I\u2019m interested in.\u201d That is my guiding principle. I want my dad to be proud of me.<\/p>\n

\nSo if you weren\u2019t in it, your dad wouldn\u2019t go to an improv show or watch an episode of \u201cGame Changer\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tFor sure. That\u2019s for me. That\u2019s like my heart. It\u2019s weird, it\u2019s fun, it\u2019s indie. I love playing weird, sad characters who think they\u2019re getting exactly what they want, in a monkey\u2019s paw kind of way, where they\u2019re getting their dream, just not in the way they wanted. I love characters like that. Especially when it comes to film and television, doing stuff that\u2019s fun, action, adventure, twisty, turny. Those are the kind of movies I like to watch. Obviously, if you want to hire me, I will do anything literally. Hire me, and I will do it, I promise. But in a perfect world, I want the stuff that my dad and my siblings are going to go watch, cinematic stuff. I hope people keep making stuff for theaters and big audiences like that. It\u2019s what made me fall in love with film. I\u2019m really lucky to be part of this new wave, and I hope it continues.<\/p>\n

\nWhen you go off to film \u201cPonies\u201d and come back to do Dropout, is there ever a disconnect?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tDropout is so home at this point. It really is. It feels like home, too, because in the same way that I get to tell my dad, I get to text Sam and be like, Sam, guess what I\u2019m doing, and send photos. Everybody is just genuinely very excited, and it\u2019s really nice to have a place in the industry that feels like a place you can come home to. That\u2019s the reason that, especially when I first booked \u201cPonies,\u201d people spent a lot of time being like, \u201d Does this mean you\u2019re not going to do Dropout stuff anymore? Are you going to do less Dropout? And I was like, kind of the contrary. It means I get to do more things I want to be doing. I get to do Dropout because I want to do Dropout, not because, you know, you\u2019ve got to make rent. I think art is better when you\u2019re doing it because you\u2019re inspired and not because you\u2019ve got to eat.<\/p>\n

\nYou just set me up perfectly. Looking into the future: Vic Michaelis wins an Oscar one day. Even at Tom Cruise levels of stardom, are you still doing Dropout?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tOf course. I literally was talking to Sam this morning. We\u2019re filming VIP right now, and he came over to the set to say hi. It means I\u2019ll have more time and resources to focus on the ideas I\u2019m preparing. You have more weird life experiences. Maybe the timing gets a little funky. It may mean I\u2019m not doing everything, but Sam asked me about \u201cGame Changer,\u201d and I love it. It\u2019s my favorite thing to do. I love puzzles. I\u2019m also very acutely aware of how many people would love to be in my position. \u201cGame Changer,\u201d especially, and VIP, it\u2019s a dream. I get to play exactly the type of character I\u2019ve always wanted to play. Sam gave us a blank creative check to make what we want, and if it works, we\u2019ll keep making it; if it doesn\u2019t, we\u2019ll retool. People liked it and were watching it, and the price we pay is that we\u2019re given creative freedom to keep making stuff. You don\u2019t really see that anywhere. In the climate the industry is in right now, people are putting a lot of money behind things and are scared to take risks. It\u2019s such a gift to be in a space where the best ideas win out. How often does that happen? It feels very rare. This is just a place where, I don\u2019t know, it feels very special.<\/p>\n

\nDo you have imposter syndrome?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m adjacent to that. I\u2019m somebody who feels like I get a lot of opportunities because somebody else has passed or somebody else, at the last minute, hasn\u2019t been able to do something. Even with \u201cPonies.\u201d I was the last one cast, basically. Literally everybody I know was up for it before they came and talked to me. I don\u2019t care how I got into the room. People could have been fighting tooth and nail to keep me from being there. If I get in a room, I\u2019m there. I don\u2019t care how I get the opportunity. I will say thank you and take it, even if it seems like people do not want me there. That\u2019s fine. You don\u2019t have to want me here. Let me show you. If you still don\u2019t like it, then kick me out. That\u2019s no problem. It is sort of that adjacent thing of, maybe I\u2019m not supposed to be in the room, but I\u2019m here. Let\u2019s see what happens.<\/p>\n

\nAnything I didn\u2019t ask that you want to include? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI can\u2019t help but, literally sitting here talking to you about a show I was working on, on the set of another show that I\u2019m working on, feel, as cheesy as this sounds, honestly, unbelievably grateful. If this all went away tomorrow, at least I got to do it. How many people get to say that? I know that\u2019s not the sexiest answer, but that\u2019s how I\u2019m sitting here talking to you right now, with my hair in the craziest clips that they could possibly be.<\/p>\n

\nYou know, this story is going to have to start with \u201cVic Michaelis is sideways on Zoom with clips in their hair\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nYes, the whole time. It\u2019s been perfect. <\/strong><\/p>\n
