Twitch streamers group EverythingNowShow lets chat decide dialogues in a live improv show

Twitch chat plays a significant role in shaping the content of many live streams both directly and indirectly. Streamers like Jerma985 are known for allowing Twitch chat to make important decisions during streams. In his famous Dollhouse stream, chat acted as the controlling force, voting on everything Jerma's character did in a simulated, real-life "Sims" scenario.

Like Jerma, EverythingNowShow is a group of improv actors who have built their channel upon live interaction with their viewers, often through the chatbox. In essence, the streamers act out a scene and the chat is responsible for directing the scene's flow, providing dialogues or visual aids whenever prompted.

During a segment on the show called "Small Talk at the Water Cooler", the improv actors asked their chat to provide answers to questions co-workers would typically ask each other during a water break.

Questions like "What's your name?" or "How do you identify politically?" were all answered by the stream's viewers and members of EverythingNowShow would implement these responses in their dialogue. This would result in hilarious interactions, like in the video above, where a question regarding work departments was brought up:

"Which department are you in?"

The responder then (literally) turned to the show's Twitch chat for help, and user @katzenbaaren responded with "Computer Washing". Using this, the response was:

"Computer Washing. Yeah, sometimes the computers around here get really dirty and stinky. So basically my job is to go and make sure they don't stink and reek up the whole office".

Multiple other moments in the stream required viewers to provide dialogue or story direction via chat or Twitch polls. In some streams, EverythingNowShow even allowed their chat to display images or videos in the stream.
