Comedy Central's Drunk History has been canceled. The series, which aired on Comedy Central from 2013 until the end of its sixth season last August, consisted of different sketches depicting historical events as told by significantly inebriated guest stars. Episodes covered a wide swath of history, but typically centered around a theme, whether it be the history of a specific city or particular historical figures like the Roosevelts or Civil Rights heroes. Over the course of its six seasons, the series was nominated for seventeen Primetime Emmy Awards, winning one in 2015 for Outstanding Costumes for a Variety Program.

Drunk History is a pseudo-educational history show put on by Comedy Central. Creator and host of the show Derek Waters brings in history buffs, has a few drinks with them, and then has them tell him a story from history as best as they can.

Everyone knows the best way to learn history is with a side of alcohol, and if some talented actors can get involved then all the better. Comedy Central's Drunk History(adapted from host Derek Waters' original Funny or Die web series) is consistently just the ticket. Each episode tells a few historical tales that are as true as the extremely drunk storytelling host can , while celebrity actors try to lip sync and act out the storyteller's version of events. Grab your favorite drink(s) and settle in--here are Drunk History's top ten celebrity guest stars.

We're experiencing a golden age of television, and nowhere is that more apparent than in comedy. For every Key & Peele, Birthday Boys and Kroll Show that have left us too soon, there are a dozen long running shows like Louie, Veep,Saturday Night Live, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and Children's Hospital that prove there's an audience for unique voices in comedy.
