Welcome to Who Broke the News?, the website where we follow those who don't know what they're about to say and aren't allowed to smile or laugh. This is an unofficial score tracker for Dropout TV's "Breaking News: No Laugh Newsroom". We've got the scores for each episode of the show, so you can track who broke the most across the whole series. Head over to the leaderboards and you can see who won the most episodes, who lost the most episodes, and just how many episodes Katie Marovitch has made it through without dropping character. (Spoiler alert: it's a lot ...)

This unofficial website is a small project lovingly put together by a fan, with absolutely zero affiliation to "Breaking News", Dropout, Sam Reich (hey Sam!!!), or anyone at CH Media. Episode data, cast photos, and screenshots are sourced via The Movie Database API and are the property of their respective parties, not the property of this site or its creator. There are no adverts or affiliate links here, but if you enjoy the site and want to support its upkeep, feel free to visit my Buy Me A Coffee page. If you want to give me feedback, feel free to get in touch.

Cumulative standing

These are the cumulative standings across all seasons of Breaking News, carefully weighted by points per episode so we can at least try to avoid people who have been in just one episode topping the charts.*

* Yes, Brian Huskey, we know you nailed it in your single appearance in season 2, but we've got to give the regulars a fighting chance!

This list ranks the lowest scorers by points per episode. This is to try to make the table a little fairer and not penalise those who have been in more episodes. Their total score appears underneath.

This list highlights the players who broke character the most in any given episode. Some players appear multiple times because they broke character the most across multiple episodes (hi, Amy, we still love you), and some episodes appear more than once because more than one player broke repeatedly.
