What is the Show’s Premise?

The premise of Drunk History is very simple. Celebrities and comedians get drunk and regale the audience with factually accurate stories (with inaccurate dialogue) from history. Series creator and host, Derek Waters, joins in the drinking and follows the action.

The show has covered a multitude of topics, from the life of Alexander Hamilton to Roald Dahl’s service as a British spy. The series has featured guest narrators like Rich Fulcher, Bob Odenkirk, Tiffany Haddish, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Jen Kirkman. Meanwhile, other celebrities and comedians act out what the drunken “narrator” says, drunken slurring and all. The results are hilarious.

Critics and fans seem to agree because the show is on its sixth season and has garnered multiple Emmy Award nominations. The series boasts an impressive roster of celebrity actors, including Tony Hale, Terry Crews, Will Ferrell, Liev Schreiber, Michael Cera, Jack Black, Aubrey Plaza, and Evan Rachel Wood. While Waters himself and Craig Cackowski usually make an important cameo appearance.

Watch Drunk History with a VPN

A Virtual Private Network tunnels a user’s connection to a remote server and back. Moreover, this not only encrypts their web traffic but allows them to change their geo-location.
