To determine if targeted therapy + atezolizumab (cohorts 1-3) will lead to improved overall survival (OS) in patients with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety and efficacy (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] response rate, progression-free survival \[PFS\]) of targeted therapy + atezolizumab (cohorts 1-3) in ATC and poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (PDTC). II. To determine the OS in patients with PDTC treated with targeted therapy + atezolizumab (cohorts 1-3). III. To determine the efficacy (RECIST/immune-related Response Criteria \[irRC\] response rate, progression-free survival \[PFS\]) and OS of ATC and PDTC patients treated with taxanes + atezolizumab (cohort 4). EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate changes in the tumor-associated and systemic immune system biomarkers in ATC and PDTC patients treated with immunotherapy. II. To report radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake in patients who have a diagnostic whole body scan and therapeutic I-131 in cohort 2. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 4 cohorts.
