Sam Says Describe Sam Reich here!
Samuel Dalton Reich is an American media executive, producer, Game Show Host and comedian. He is currently the CEO of independent streaming service Dropout (taking over back when it was still called CollegeHumor). In 2020, he acquired the CollegeHumor brand from IAC and launched Dropout.TV, spearheading the company's new direction towards new content.
On Dropout itself he serves as the host of Game Changer and its Spin-Off Make Some Noise.
Fun fact: Older viewers may remember his father Robert Reich
from his term as the Clinton administration's Secretary of Labor.
List some common tropes and trivia:
- Biting-the-Hand Humor: Being Dropout's CEO, Sam is also put in the position of the resident Butt-Monkey and on Game Changer, Breaking News, and Make Some Noise, everyone around him will not hesitate to put him in his place. The master of his torment vacillates between Brennan Lee Mulligan, who is usually the first to raise his voice at Sam in (comical) anger, and friend Pete Holmes who insulted Sam everytime it was his turn on Make Some Noise.
- Sadistic Game Show: A trope he leans heavily on for comedy on Game Changer. Since the contestants have no idea what game they're about to be playing before they play it, he often likes to throw them curveballs that test their resolve or just outright do things like Jump Scare them. Once he locked three of his employees in a green room turned into an escape room without their knowledge, and commented that he literally "[felt] like the Joker" watching them from seven different cameras.
