I watch a bit of Dropout and on one of their shows there was a bit where they had a celebrity judge and they were doing a survivor parody, I think. Can’t remember who the celebrity was, I guess it doesn’t matter. But Adam Conover was there, sort of randomly because he’d never been in an episode of that particular show before, and I remember thinking it was clear that he was only there because he was friends with the boss and must have wanted a chance to be around the celebrity guest. He just stuck out like a sore thumb because this was one of their improv shows which are entirely built around the actors’ rapport with one another, a sizable part of the appeal is that you can tell all the performers and crew are friends who are hanging out, and none of the other performers seemed to know what to do with or say to Adam. I didn’t necessarily feel like the other performers disliked Adam or anything, it was just very much the “friend of a friend who you don’t know or have anything in common with has come to the get-together and it’s making things slightly awkward” vibe.

Also he just wasn’t very funny.
