My girlfriend at the time was very upset with me because we had to sleep on sleeping bags on the floor. Then, subsequently, in the middle of the bed. After I finished, Derek and Jeremy made sure I was taken care of and left, then I proceeded to throw up in the middle of the couch. Gagliardi: I felt compelled to lay down and tell the story because sitting upright wasn’t working for me. Derek and I were in tears, holding it together crying and laughing the whole time. Then, suddenly, at two in the morning, Mark just flopped down on his couch and told the story of the famous duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. It really seemed like this was a bad idea and that nothing was going to come out of it. And we’re sitting around Mark Gagliardi who spoke for like, four hours about meritocracy.
I had the camera, I’m doing the sound and I’m doing the lights. For that first one, it was just me and Derek. We had often made short films together and this was one where I loved the idea, but it was all dependent on who this drunk person is going to be and whether that’s funny. Jeremy Konner, Co-creator of Drunk History : Drunk History was this idea Derek came to me with. Almost as a bonus then, they were accompanied by hysterical reenactments by some of the biggest stars in comedy - many of whom have reunited here to celebrate the show on its 10th anniversary. And for all the hilarity and irreverence involved, they were also meticulously fact-checked so that they were legitimately educational as well. Some tales were well-known, while others legitimately gave voice to the voiceless and recounted the stories we all should have learned about in school. Over its six seasons, it told dozens of stories about American history.
Īfter a six-episode web series became a viral hit, Drunk History the television series premiered on Comedy Central on July 9, 2013. Sure, that voice may have been slurred, occasionally confused and often interrupted by burps, hiccups, sneezes and the occasional bout of vomiting, yet it still provided an accurate, wholly effective lesson about our past. Well, for the vast majority of humankind that’s been the case, but for six glorious years on Comedy Central, history found a new voice: the drunks.
