Drunk History is an American television comedy series produced by Comedy Central, based on the Funny or Die web series created by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner in 2007. In each episode, an inebriated narrator, who is played by a comedian joined by host Waters, struggles to recount an event from history, while actors enact the narrator's anecdotes and also lip sync the dialogue.
The series premiered on Comedy Central on July 9, 2013, and its second season premiered on July 1, 2014. Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are among the show's executive producers.
In addition to creator Derek Waters and celebrity guest stars, the show's additional characters are played by regulars Bennie Arthur, Tim Baltz, Mort Burke, Sarah Burns, Maria Blasucci, Craig Cackowski, Michael Cassady, Michael Coleman, Tymberlee Hill, Adam Nee, and Jeremy J. Tutson.
On January 13, 2017 Comedy Central renewed the show for a fifth season, which is set to premiere later in 2017.
Since January 12, 2015, a British version of Drunk History has been broadcast on the UK channel Comedy Central. A Latin American version called Drunk History: El lado borroso de la historia is presented by Eugenio Derbez. The Hungarian version titled Tömény történelem started airing on October 24, 2016 on Comedy Central Hungary. A Brazilian version hosted by Danilo Gentili, called Drunk History Brasil: o Lado Embriagado da História, will be broadcast in SBT as a segment of The Noite com Danilo Gentili in 2017. Comedy Central Brasil will broadcast the show separated from The Noite.
