Shows 2013 Comedy & Humor

description

Drunk History is a comedy series that airs on Comedy Central. It was created by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner and first premiered in 2007. In the show, guest comedians and actors get drunk and then recount an event from history while the story is reenacted by other actors. The result is a hilarious retelling of history that often features slurred speech, rambling tangents, and off-color humor.

The show has become popular due to its unique concept and the celebrity guests who have appeared on the show. Some of the notable guests who have appeared on the show include Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. The show has also received critical acclaim and has won several awards, including a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Costumes for a Variety Program or a Special.

Despite its comedic approach to history, the show has been praised for its accuracy and attention to detail. The stories told on the show are thoroughly researched, and the reenactments are often shot in historically accurate locations. Drunk History has been credited with making history more accessible and entertaining for a younger generation, and it has inspired other shows and podcasts to take a similar approach to storytelling.

This is Daly's 11th season of late night entertainment and some recent guests include Make Believe The Black Angels, Adam Blackstone, Adam Pally, and Ben Schwartz. While Leno and O'Brien have switched their time slots Carson Daly has been solidly in place and earning even more ratings points thanks to discourse between other late night hosts. The documentary segments take Daly out of the studio and on the road to places like Tom Green's home in the Hollywood Hills or on a motorcycle road trip along historic Route 66. Musically and documentary style is a visit to the famous Whiskey Bar and visit with Kings of Leon (Grammy award winning band).

Wilfred

Wilfred is a dog. Wilfred is a man in a dog suit. Either or both may be true but one thing for certain is the story idea and the concept just seems to work for this dark comedy. The Aussie actor Jason Gann (Rats and Cats, Kenny) is Wilfred the eponymous dog whose owner Sarah (played by Cindy Waddingham from I Love You Too and Lowdown) along with her boyfriend Adam (award winner Adam Zwar from Lowdown, The Wedding Party), who looks at Wilfred and sees him as a man who just happens to wear a dog suit. The idea came from an original and award winning short film written by Jason Gann and Adam Zwar. A very popular and AFI award winning television program in Australia which aired there in 2007 and again in 2010, Wilfred is now airing in the U.S. Editor Debbie Lee told them "Go as far as you want with it, the more bent the better" and so they did. This TV program based upon a short film has its silly moments but overall is funny and entertaining due to good acting and writing from its young stars.

Secret Millionaire

Imagine having millions, and being a charitable type, decide to spread your wealth around a bit. How can you go about giving some of your wealth away without appearing like a phony? Do it through a network television program designed to help people on both sides of the "street". ABC takes viewers along as true life millionaires enter poverty stricken areas to live among the local citizens and upon getting to know them, donate part of their millions to one or more deserving folks or projects in the area. It's a fascinating concept and most of us wish we could be on the receiving end of that concept. Some of us actually belong to the giving, generous portion of the population and love the idea of giving to those in need. But, determining who is actually needing and deserving can get complicated because greed makes many of us deceptive. That's why these secret millionaires infiltrate the poor community and try to make good decisions based on how they perceive the needs and those who deserve. Don't miss this inspiring television program that has been produced in the UK, Australia, and the U.S.
