About this show

History is written by the victors but told best by the totally wasted -- on this wildly inappropriate (and maybe just a little inaccurate) series where well-lubricated comics tell famous American tales and celebrity guests act them out.

Drunk history is the best! Learned more about history with comedy and alcohol which is the base of our country when you think about it, plus Derek is so cute
