Vic Michaelis shared insights about his character, stating, 'the key to their character (the fictional Vic Michaelis, host of ... I am hosting it.' This attitude underpins the show's comedic tone, emphasizing the importance of understanding the character's perspective during the improvised interactions, which has resonated with audiences.
The unique structure of Very Important People was praised, where each episode features a new comedian receiving a transformative makeover, explaining, 'they have a spare few minutes to take in their new look, create a character based on it, and sit down with Michaelis'. This spontaneous creation process fuels the show's spontaneity.
On the success of the first season, Michaelis noted how the characters' eccentricities, such as 'a caveman/physicist' and 'a bodybuilder who found $100,000 in a bag', contribute to the show's appeal, highlighting 'Michaelis' talent as a scene partner... is the tetherball pole that makes those wild swings possible.'
