Summary
One player is the host of a talk show with a specific premise or theme (audience-suggested). Other players are guests — celebrities, experts, ordinary people — with distinct characters and points of view. The host interviews guests, manages the conversation, transitions between segments, and reacts to the unexpected. The show should feel like it has structure: an intro, interviews, perhaps an audience question segment. Teaches players to maintain a hosting persona, serve the scene without dominating it, and build a structured improvised format.
Example
Show theme: “People Who Have Complicated Relationships with Their Houseplants.” Host opens with a monologue. Guest 1 arrives: their fern left them. Guest 2: their cactus is threatening to leave. Audience question: “Have you tried therapy?” Guest 2: “She won’t come. She says it’s too humid.”
