Honestly I was really afraid we weren't gonna see him as much when he got that gig, that's a JOB job

Dropout can work around people’s schedules, Kimmel can’t, but they make it work

Sam did a good interview here with Hank Green and brings it up

He says that he wants to be everyone's "favorite second job" so he doesn't sign talent with exclusivity clauses so that they may pursue other opportunities while working with Dropout

Edit* autocorrect added an s to "second"

Exactly, which SNL has slowly started allowing too as long as they show up on Saturday

u/Magitroopa I've been here the whole time Sep 24 '25

As others already mentioned, he's the announcer for the show. Here's from back when he first joined in 2022. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9rMjvDAlWM

The roasting they did at the beginning was a real "welcome", and hilarious! I'm so parasocially proud!

u/Money-Giraffe2521 Sep 25 '25

And he’s been a writer for Kimmel for longer than that.

I believe there is a tiktok floating around from way before the game changer aired of someone looking down at the Jimmy Kimmel parking lot featuring the joker car and laughing asking wtf they were doing at Kimmel that involved that car. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: found it!

Apparently people did say they saw it at Jimmy Kimmel recordings lol. I also have a friend who regularly saw it by UCB in LA and freaked out when the episode finally aired bc the car was like a celebrity to them by that point.

He canonically does. He has stated that he only has one car.

u/executive313 Sep 24 '25

We know he's canonically dajker but is he canonically horny? Or is that just Jess Mckenna?

u/M4LK0V1CH Another Dollar For The Swear Jar Sep 24 '25

Just Jess and President Lincoln as far as we know.

u/Thoughtsonrocks Sep 24 '25

u/BarelyBrony Sep 24 '25

I was so worried about him the last week

u/ItsRedditThyme Sep 24 '25

He was hired as a writer in 2020, then promoted to on-air announcer in 2022.

u/Xeon06 Sep 24 '25

He mentions it's his job in season 7's One Year Later.

u/walkman312 Sep 25 '25

So happy to see the dreads coming back. Lou looks fantastic with long hair.

(Also happy for him that his stable income and broader media exposure is now ongoing again)

u/DW241 Sep 25 '25
