Drunk History is an incredible show

 

I'd love to see the process for how they tape/edit that show. I read an interview where the guy said it takes 6 hours or so to film, so it's not like he just shows up and the people are drunk and he just starts filming.

 

It has to be scripted because there's no way a drunk person is going to remember what they're supposed to say or the story they're supposed to tell, but at the same time no one ever seems like they're reading from a prompter either. Maybe they memorize the lines before hand and then just try to stumble their way through it.

 

We've tried to do a drunk history a couple times with friends and it just doesn't work. The person loses focus too quickly or you can't really tell what the heck they're talking about.

No offense, but maybe your friends just don't know much about history. My guess is they ask a bunch of comedians which particular historical story they know, get them completely loaded, and simply let them talk about it.

Could be true, although my one buddy has a graduates degree in history (what a waste).

 

It could also be the head guy simply asking the story teller questions to clarify certain parts of the story, and that's what makes the show. I'm sure editing is a huge part of it.

Yes. It just doesn't seem like that difficult a process to go through. You're already dealing with comedians and they're drunk, so they're gonna say hilarious/stupid things. You probably just have to guide them a little.

This is my thought as well. And since these comedians know they will be on camera talking about the historic event, I'm sure they are told to brush up on the history of it. It definitely does not seem as though they are reading anything, and they are absolutely hammered.

for what I am able to get out of the ads and write up, the special is somewhere around xmas

and the regular se4 starts the new yr....

 

I guess they may be trying to get some of the over flow of the hobbit final movie.

Awesome. Sherlock is the best show on tv, outside of GOT.

 

I am starting to rewatch all of the sherlocks and I forgot how great they were.

the esp in which Jim Moriarty was absolutely the best.... I am glad the actor got an emmy.
