‘Drunk History’ is BACK: ‘If you make someone laugh, you can also make them listen’
Comedy Central's 'Drunk History' is returning after a seven-year hiatus, co-creators Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner told MS NOW. The show aims to make audiences laugh while also educating them about history, focusing on the emotional experiences of historical figures. The new season will feature segments on topics ranging from the story of America's largest ball of twine to Francis Perkins, the first female cabinet secretary under FDR, and Madonna's VMA performance.
The show's blend of humor and historical narrative offers a unique way to engage audiences with lesser-known or complex historical events, potentially making history more accessible and memorable.
The episode also discusses the Bracero Program, Claudette Colvin's role in the civil rights movement, and mentions potential celebrity guests and narrators.
