But obviously the dialogue is the stuff that is not accurate." Independent newspapers have verified that the information in the series is historically accurate. He told NPR that he "make sure to go back and say: Make sure you say this date or this person's name. Accuracy Īccording to Derek Waters, all the dates and story elements are true, though the historical figures' dialogue is obviously not accurate. Waters says he drinks with the storytellers in order to "let them know we're doing this together" and so as not to make it feel exploitative. The storytellers in the series read up on the stories while sober, then rehearse it in front of a producer before getting drunk. It premiered on Comedy Central on July 9, 2013. The series continued to air online on Funny or Die and briefly aired on HBO. It starred Johnson, Waters, Cera, and actress Ashley Johnson. The first video premiered on the website Funny or Die on August 6, 2007. Waters told his friend, actor Michael Cera, about the idea, and Cera encouraged him to make it and volunteered to appear in the video. Waters thought it would be funny to film and recreate a story of an intoxicated person stumbling through a historical story, and have actors reenact the story. The idea for the series originated from a drunken conversation that Derek Waters had with his friend actor Jake Johnson in which Johnson recounted the story of R&B singer Otis Redding, who died in a plane crash. A number of international versions have also been produced. Early production had already begun before production halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On August 19, 2020, that decision was reversed when Comedy Central cancelled the series, with the sixth season serving as its last.
On August 26, 2019, the series was renewed for a seventh season. The series premiered on Comedy Central on July 9, 2013. In addition to Waters and celebrity guest stars, the show's characters are played by regulars such as Bennie Arthur, Tim Baltz, Mort Burke, Sarah Burns, Maria Blasucci, Craig Cackowski, Michael Cassady, Michael Coleman, Tymberlee Hill, Adam Nee, Jeremy J. In each episode, an inebriated narrator, joined by host Waters, struggles to recount an event from history, while actors enact the narrator's anecdotes and also lip sync the dialogue. Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are the show's executive producers. Drunk History is an American educational comedy television series produced by Comedy Central, based on the Funny or Die web series created by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner in 2007.
