Any designated driver who’s been trapped in a rambling, disjointed conversation with a completely inebriated passenger might be surprised to hear of a TV series that’s found great success in rambling, disjointed retellings of historical events from a completely inebriated narrator.
That, however, is precisely what “Drunk History” has managed to do. The show that began as a series of Funny or Die online shorts born of an actual drunken discussion has become a half-hour Comedy Central mainstay, now in its fourth season. Catch a new episode of “Drunk History” when it airs Tuesday, Nov. 1, on Comedy Central.
According to “Drunk History” lore, the idea for the show came to co-creator Derek Waters (“Hall Pass,” 2011) during a boozy night spent with friend and “New Girl” star Jake Johnson. The two were discussing the death of singer Otis Redding and, according to Waters, he envisioned Redding telling the story in Johnson’s words, moving his lips to what was being drunkenly spouted off.
The image, as it turned out, translated to the screen to great effect. Each episode of “Drunk History” recounts events from American history as narrated by a thoroughly soused comedian. The cast acts out
what’s being said, while lip-syncing the narration — complete with anachronisms, stammering, hiccups, curses and mistakes.
The more poorly the story is told, the funnier the reenactment comes across, from one narrator mistakenly referring to Richard Dreyfuss (“Jaws,” 1975) while recounting a story about abolitionist Frederick Douglass, to another forgetting the names of pretty much all the reindeer in his recitation of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” (unless I’m the one in the wrong and Santa does, in fact, have reindeer named Shouter and Blinsen). Still another narrator needed to pause the story — not once, but twice — to, shall we say, void his system of eight vodka cranberries.
Part of the draw of the show is the big names involved. Since the early web series days, the everchanging cast has included countless celebrities and Hollywood Alisters. The episode detailing the friendship between Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass features Will Ferrell (“Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” 2004) — who also co-produces the Comedy Central series — Don Cheadle (“Hotel Rwanda,” 2004) and Zooey Deschanel (“New Girl”), and went on to win the award for Best American Short at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Since moving to Comedy Central, the series has
enjoyed the antics of Jack Black (“School of Rock,” 2003), Winona Ryder (“Girl, Interrupted,” 1999), Bill Hader (“Saturday Night Live”), Bob Odenkirk (“Better Call Saul”), Owen (“Wedding Crashers,” 2005) and Luke Wilson (“Old School,” 2003), John Lithgow (“3rd Rock From the Sun”), Greg Kinnear (“As Good as It Gets,” 1997) ... the list goes on and on and on.
For the most part, each episode has focused on a city and related a number of historical events and figures associated with it. The show has looked at the Lincoln assassination and the Watergate scandal in Washington, D.C., the kidnapping of Patty Hearst in San Francisco, the story of Benedict Arnold in Philadelphia, and the activities of Bugsy Siegel in Las Vegas. While major people and events are certainly portrayed, the show’s research team digs deep for lesserknown stories as well, so there’s more than just the pieces of history everyone is taught in school.
“I think a lot of these stories have vanished, and they’re about an injustice that has happened,” said Duncan Trussell, one of this season’s sloshed narrators, at an Awardsline Emmy screening back in June. “I think that underneath the intoxication and slurring, we’ve summoned up a soul that’s getting a little bit of vengeance in the form of having their story re-announced

What makes their relationships so special? Even when their circumstances changed, Donna and Molly continued finding time for Lana. In return, Lana continues to fill their lives with the beauty and excitement only she can bring.
to the world where it’s mostly been dormant.”
More recently, the show has branched into broader themes, and that’s where things have landed for the current season. Season 4 kicked off with “Great Escapes,” which looked at Timothy Leary’s (Thomas Lennon, “The Odd Couple”) flight from prison, the Devil’s Island penal colony, and Titanic survivor Charles Joughin (Chris Parnell, “21 Jump Street,” 2012).
“It’s not just Abraham Lincoln stories,” said Waters at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. “It’s more like, ‘Oh, this is a great story that more people need to know about,’ like the Stonewall riots ... good stories that aren’t necessarily going to be in history books, but people should know about.”
The upcoming episode, titled “Siblings,” sees Katherine Wright help her brothers build an airplane, the Kopp sisters fight to protect their home, and the Fox sisters’ role in the creation and spread of Spiritualism. Elizabeth Olsen (“Godzilla,” 2014), Jason Ritter (“Another Period”), Rachel Bilson (“Hart of Dixie”), Sarah Ramos (“Parenthood”), Sugar Lyn Beard (“50/50,” 2011) and Jenna Fischer (“The Office”) all lend their talents to the episode. Seriously, never has earnest drunken blathering been so entertaining. Check out the newest episode of “Drunk History” when it airs Tuesday, Nov. 1, on Comedy Central.

October is over, and I think we all know what that means: the holiday season has arrived. Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, and Christmas only a month after that, so the time to start planning those holiday get-togethers is now. Luckily, Food Network’s own holiday expert is ready to advise and inspire with her own party tips and treats.
The second helpful season of “Giada’s Holiday Handbook” premieres Sunday, Oct. 30, on Food
Network, with some last-minute Halloween ideas. “Everyday Italian’s” Giada De Laurentiis wrote the book on holiday entertaining, and although Halloween may not inspire the peace, joy and togetherness that Thanksgiving and Christmas do, that doesn’t mean that it can’t bring people together.
In the premiere episode, Giada hosts an open house for the neighborhood kids and their families. Of course, anyone going to a get-together at a Food Network celebrity’s home expects great food, and Giada doesn’t disappoint.
For those of us who weren’t lucky enough to get invitations to the party (I assume that mine was lost in the mail), Giada at least walks us through her spooky menu and gives helpful advice for preparing similar dishes at our own Halloween parties. Items on the menu include spooky chicken finger sammies, tasty coconut “bones” and scarily sumptuous witches’ brooms.
Once Halloween is behind us, Giada moves on to the classic cocktail party. In the Nov. 6 episode, she hosts some friends for a vintage gathering, complete with throwback recipes with a modern twist, such as bacon onion dip, a Korean shrimp cocktail and a grown-upsonly gelatin mold.
Plus, if you missed last season’s episodes full of helpful holiday advice and recipes, or even if you want
a refresher, Giada’s got you covered. Last season’s first episode airs Saturday, Nov. 5, with the rest of the season’s enlightening episodes to follow as the big day approaches — check your local Food Network listings for exact times and dates.
Giada De Laurentiis is so full of holiday advice and suggestions that it couldn’t be contained in a single TV season. Food Network’s “Giada’s Holiday Handbook” arrives just in time for Halloween, premiering Sunday, Oct. 30.
We’re just four weeks away from Halloween: people pretending to be somebody else, going door to door for handouts. Or, as that’s also called, running for president. Lady Gaga told People magazine that her new album was influenced by the
men in her life. Taylor Swift was like, “Hey! Stay in your lane, pal.”
Over the weekend, three pages of Donald Trump’s 1995 tax return were leaked, revealing that he declared a $916 million loss from his three Atlantic City casinos. That’s right. Donald Trump lost money on casinos. You know what they say: “The house always loses.”
