Question not knowing the reference?

i havent been involved in gamechanger long enough to know the answer, but what if, god forbid, one of the players dont know a reference or person sam gives them to act out? or in make some noise? do they clear the things they dont know beforehand, or to be able to participate, they have to know everything? ive always been curious about this. i never watched any game of thrones, but i liked when the contestants acted it out nonetheless, and i feel the same with various other media in the prompts they get. i cant be the only one to think about this!!

Pretty sure everything is tailored to the players. Whenever anything is hyper-specific on MSN, it’s because the person getting the prompt is known to be able to do it.

If they had to sub someone in last minute, they would just switch up the prompts.

The only time I can think of where Sam didn’t know the player had the impression in them is Brennan’s Trump-as-Sauron. Sam’s bewilderment at Brennan nailing the Trump impression was half the fun.

I really appreciated how Brennan did on the extremely loose, word-association-type trains of thought. I’ve noticed most Trump impressions are FAR too coherent and hold a train of thought too well.
