Drunk History’s Derek Waters on how the show turns boozy ramblings into TV gold

Drunk History’s format is a winner: Take a famous comedian, get them drunk, film them struggling their way through a historical story, and use their slurred monologue as an audio track over which other famous actors lip sync and reenact the story. It’s a simple, effective premise but one that takes a lot of work to pull off. In the video above, creator Derek Waters walks us through the process of turning these drunken ramblings into entertaining television.
