Dropouts Game Changer Star’s Appearance on The Rookie Next Week: Initial Preview


Dropout is on the cusp of achieving greater visibility. Renowned for its comedic successes like *Game Changer*, *Very Important People*, *Make Some Noise*, and *Dimension 20*, Dropout is beloved by comedy fans. Next week, Dropout’s own Vic Michaelis, Jacob Wysocki, Zac Oyama, Anna Garcia, and CEO Sam Reich will appear as themselves on ABC’s police drama *The Rookie*, within a scene located on the *Game Changer* set. The episode bears the fitting title “Fun and Games.”

In this installment, Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Celina (Lisseth Chavez) react to a burglary report at Dropout TV studios, where Nolan meets someone he recognizes. Could it be a cast member from Dropout or a behind-the-scenes staffer? From the preview photos, it’s clear that the police interrupt a filming day on *Game Changer*, setting the stage for comedic antics.

Take a look at the images below for hints and possible Dropout Easter eggs.

*The Rookie*’s “Fun and Games” will be broadcast on ABC on Monday, March 2, from 10:00-11:00 p.m. EST, and will be available for streaming on Hulu the following day.

*UPDATE: Feb. 23, 2026, 4:21 p.m.* A previous iteration of this article mistakenly referred to the Dropout game show as “Change Changer” rather than “Game Changer.” We regret the error.
