A list of things that didn't happen under Edith Wilson's watch:
1. 9/11
2. Disneyland with Johnny Depp at the animated Haunted Mansion that's all Tim Burton
3. Christmas and Halloween combined
4. A lot of things
She was absolutely WASTED.
Edith Wilson was the only thing preventing "All I Want For Christmas Is You" being played in stores as early as Halloween. Notice how that didn't start happening until after she died.
Bring back Drunk History, PLEASE!
History is already drunk, put it on tv.
💯💯🤣
Yes please
And it has amnesia.
I couldn't believe they cancelled it; this was one of the best ideas for a show premise I've seen in my entire life... And they carried out those ideas to literal perfection, lol. Gah, I didn't realize how much I missed it until just now 😢😫 Bring it back!!! 🙇♀️
Yes please
“How can I hit that?” - President Grover Cleveland, 1885
Beautiful😢
😂😂😂
She was gorgeous. What you gone do?
My husband once saw me across a crowded room, sauntered over, and asked that same question. I fell in love immediately. We've been together/married for five years.
The first part is a joke. :) He actually just said "Hello".
“When I was 25, I think I plucked off all my eyebrows and dressed like Prince.” Paget Brewster is hands down my favorite on Drunk History.
3³
Same
She’s absolutely amazing 🤩
She is such an icon.
Well with a name like Brewster
Love how emotionally volatile Jen gets telling a story. THE CHEESY BREAD...THAT I BROUGHT
The extreme Valley Girl accent makes this so much funnier. Nothing ever sounds intelligent with that accent, it's hilariously wonderful.
I love how emotional Paget got, she was full lost in the sauce lol
Right! I'm here laughing and crying with her. We owe our world peace to people like those women and I am so glad Paget is here to keep their memory alive, hopefully so we can learn from it instead of repeat it.
Ladybird saying “I’m the hungriest hippo here” had me rolling.
Is it weird that I get my dose of history lessons from Comedy Central?
Its 3:00am and im learning about the first lady's 🤯
it actually helps me learn the more accurate and detailed historical accounts! i watch these first, then do further research. the stories and people are enforced into my brain. it's a fun way to learn
Try Horrible Histories 🤣
Yeah, it's weird. Get the more complete pictures from better sources
Yes.
Nicole Byer's Eartha Kitt voice is absolutely hysterical, as is "Ladybird's" faithful performance of her pizza detour. The Batman villain vibes they gave Ladybird is inspired.
Can't not love Nicole byer!!!!
When it comes to colonial first ladies, Abigail Adams was easily one of, if not the best. She was definitely smarter than John Adams even though she never had a formal education, instead she taught herself through reading. She was an advocate for women's rights, believing woman should be able to have an education, own property and should be allowed more freedom. she wrote to congress saying "remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation." What an icon. She was also a huge advocate for African American rights, A letter written by her on March 31, 1776, explained that she doubted most of the Virginians had such "passion for Liberty" as they claimed they did, since they "deprive their fellow Creatures" of freedom. Another time a free black child came to her home and asked to be taught to read and write, so she put him in school, and when a neighbor complained, she said he was "a Freeman as much as any of the young Men and merely because his Face is Black, is he to be denied instruction? How is he to be qualified to procure a livelihood? ... I have not thought it any disgrace to my self to take him into my parlor and teach him both to read and write." You should seriously read more about her, she was an amazing lady.
it's always such a hoot to learn about these fierce and brave women who fought hard for our rights.
@@SleepIntoTheDiamondLife ikr? We rarely learn about First Ladies, even though a lot of them had a huge impact on politics
This comment needs to be pinned higher or liked more. This information is not only important to Americans, but to others not of USA decent. What a lovely leader you have.
In my country we are very lucky to have the government we have. I am from New Zealand and our current PM is Jacinda Arden. She has helped to guide us through some perilous times. Our terror attack in Christchurch, the volcanic eruption of White Island, Covid response just to name a few. Can't think of a better time to have someone so emotionally stable and caring. We all see her as family, her nickame here (we affectionately call her) Aunty Jack. Women are very important and valued in our political society.
@@alexray1025 i love to hear that. i wish women were more celebrated here. we’re definitely making progress, but still so behind. she sounds like a wonderful leader and i’m so glad y’all have her 💖
@@alexray1025 ugh she is wonderful. the moment that won me over on her was when she visited that twitch streamer who does wood carving from NZ. Just her genuine interaction with him, live, on stream, and the fact that he wasn't some crazy popular fad figure to be profitted off of made me really hopeful for NZ! I wish we had a leader like her
I love that Eartha Kitt was the focus of Lady Bird's entire segment 😍
"I'm gonna have people pay attention to me for the RIGHT reason." I went YES BITCH! turn that shitty situation into a golden opportunity!
"Can I have the Cheesy bread I brought?"🥴
I'm taking a mental health day today, and I can't think of a better use of fraction of my stimulus check than a tiny bit of booze and some amazing cheesy bread 🥴🥂🥖🧀
@@pastel.persephone5879 Enjoy! 😊
And then: lolling in the chair, wineglass allllllmost slipping from her fingers.
And then: "I don't want the cheesy bread any more". I died.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Truly needed history on Eartha Kitt!!! Bravo DH.
The Eartha Kitt story needs to be told!
And Thompson was *RIVETING* as Eartha Kitt. Wow! :D
You mean that starlet Pierce Hawthorne hooked up with in an airplane?
@@Evandarlingisdaddy what? It came up organically
The glass shatters in the sink behind her.
College. 😎
More like
College. 🥴🌀
I've always loved Eartha Kitt, she's an icon in so many ways.
Fr was the skinny legend
I only knew Eartha Kitt from Yzma on The Emperor's New Groove, so this is freaking awesome that she took on the Emperor and the First Lady, haha.
That is my all time favorite movie and eartha kitt was an amazing woman
Same lol. And Holes. And from the 60s Batman🤣🤣
Fun fact about Eartha:
She was the first to sing Santa Baby as well, its her hit song.
She is truly an amazing woman
@@rhonnichan Let’s not forget she had an affair with Nat King Cole 😏
Earths Kitt got a lot of history.
"It's not a Jimi Hendrix poster" was hilarious to me because I have a giant Jimi Hendrix poster on my wall just staring me down. When I heard that I had to just glance over at Jimi, and share this moment with him, whilst feeling personally attacked. 😂😂💀
I felt that too. My Jimi poster is behind me watching the video too 🤣
@@coziigurl Glad to find other Jimi fans!!
😂😂😂😂
I bet you'd save it in a fire. Rolled up or not?
Tessa Thompson makes a perfect Eartha Kitt impression! I'm very impressed!
Not enough credit for the Actors. My lord their days must be long just to get through this without dying.
I'm no history savant, but I do find it hilarious that every first lady has this great story that makes her a total badass, except Lady Bird Johnson, who is essentially a Karen.
Well I don't know Ladybird Johnson's story very well but I do know that she and her husband were not well liked.
There's a movie out about her now,
Paget Brewster getting emotional had me all choked up. She is so passionate it's deeply moving!
"Frogen nuggets....you're killin' it..." lol me
The zoom in on the dog was a nice touch 👌🏻
I saw Monica Geller, i clicked
Yep lol
I KNOW! Lol
❤️❤️
me too
exactly
Is it just me who thinks Paget and Derrick have like the best banter. Like seriously they are so flippin adorable
Which is funny because Molly was his girlfriend when they shot her episode lol.
The Edith Wilson story was technically the first Weekend at Bernie’s.
😂😂😂😂😂
One summer in the '70s when I was in high school I volunteered at the Smithsonian as a tour guide at what was then the National Museum of History & Technology (now the Museum of American History). One of the exhibits we covered was the popular "Hall of First Ladies". To this day, nearly 50 years later, I am still only able to remember the Presidents and their historical order and context through those gals.
The 'true condition' bit from 9:00 to 9:41 absolutely killed me. Oh man that got me. I needed that thank you
"nobody wants to see they boss." Truer words were never spoken.
I love that the Johnsons are depicted as the horrible humans they were.
Dolly Madison was beyond great.
When the troops fled, SHE wanted cannons so she and her servants could defend the White House.
BTW Madison was a real short guy. Dolly could pick him up.
Dolly loving her short king. Er, president lol. Also I just appreciate her badassery for saving all that important art and the Declaration
I never knew the story of Lyudmila Pavlichenko, it was incredibly touching
Everyone so upset with this show and their delivery need to liven up. History is NOT sacrosanct. This was an absolute hoot. DH rules.
Yeah. The Cardi outrage was really something
Uh, who's ragging on it? Jesus, how much strawmanning are you engaging in just to get sad upvotes?
I adore this show. I love how they explain the history in such a light and funny mamner
@@BlownMacTruck You know comments can be deleted right? Meaning the rude comments probably got pruned from mods
@@DeathnoteBB I’m referring to the OP.
the eartha kitt vs lady bird one is one of the best
b i r d l a d y
No one cares about Kitt, or the diverse one telling her story🚮
4:17 the way the actress rolls her eyes to match up with the voice searching for words gets me lol hahaha.
I wish this was how they taught history at school, i would have aced it😂😂...this made my day. Molly was the best for me.
History is far more interesting when you learn stories about people, rather than memorizing bland dates or x country did z thing that have very little about the actual who and why of it to actually make you remember them. Because that's what history is, really, the stories of people that came before us. The best history teachers are storytellers.
@@MariaThePotterNut That last line is so true. My favorite history teacher in school basically told us the history like stories. I don’t remember it _now_ but I remember remembering it way better than other history classes
OK, now I'm in love with the last one. Such passion! Such vulnerability! Such drunken obsession! Let's go to Chicago, or ... something!
“if i don-“ **spills wine** “IF I DON-“ **almost spills again** “cHeEsY bReAd”
I was just at the ladybird wildflower center in Austin for an event, and the jazz singer performing was definitely singing some hits that Eartha Kitt sang. It was beautiful on so many levels.
Paget Brewster gets me every time when I I watch her telling the story of Ludmila
My first time seeing this, that Eartha Kitt bit was hilarious and true to life. Loved it.
nicole byer is an american hero and deserves the best life and everything she’s ever wanted. she is a gem and so funny and i love her.
I love her too.
I thought they were actually unfairly portrayed.
@@be6715 Who was unfairly portrayed?
That was the saddest pizza I've ever seen. Sadder than elementary school lunch pizza. Sadder that Red Barron pizza. That was a box or sorrow with cheese.
it did indeed look nasty lol
@@Druzica18 Maybe if it was made with real provolone it might have been cool... but thx for the confirmation
New York style
@@blckclbrtn Wow, you're right! Does that make me a hater?
At least it didn’t have pineapple.
Dolly and James standing in front of a single door, with a modern street lamp behind it lol
I'm surprised nobody drunkenly said Jolly and Dames.
Frances Folsom Cleveland is known primarily for being a warhawk in WWI. She also campaigned against women's suffrage, contending that "women weren't yet intelligent enough to vote". In May 1913 she was elected as vice president of the "New Jersey Association Opposed to Woman's Suffrage" and served as the president for the Princeton chapter.
I absolutely love the zoom in on the dog, and subsequently it's face, at 2:16
17:08 Lady Bird v Catwoman! Where is this epic biopic?!?! This is amazing! But we’d need the same narrator 🤣😂👏🏻
I actually don't think it's true though. I don't want to be a buzzkill but everything I've read says it's not an accurate story.
Padget Brewster is awesome. Love this show. Love the cast, too. They are all wonderful.
She had her own talk show in the 90s. No one knew who she was and she had suddenly had a talk show😂😂😂😂
Dolly Madison (our nation’s fourth First Lady) saved George Washington’s portrait when the White House was being being burned to the ground by the British. She truly was a red blooded Patriot!
But she didn't roll it up like some kinda college dorm room Albert Einstein sticking his tongue out poster.
she order her slave (paul jennings) to save washington's potrait
Saving a picture doesn't make you a hero
It's just a portrait. The slaves and immigrants who built America are the real heroes. Not that slaves had much of a choice, but they survived despite continuous attempts to destroy them.
And ran back in for the declaration of independence (far more important imo)!
"If I dont help him to be president whatakanda wife am I?" 😂
“UUUUHHHHHhhhh”
My husband and I always re-watch episodes cause we love this show so so much. Please bring it back. I know my adult children and my mother loved this show as well. We used to pile in the bedroom and watch it all together!
I can't stop going back to Molly talking to that demon-like Chihuahua. "Can you shut up for just a second?" And it actually stopped growling for her!!!
And kissed her.
If I can ever play in indigenous person in one of your sketches I would relish the chance as this is insultingly remarkable:)
Him:* throws on a fluffy red apron*
Her: "aww homey I'm so proud of you" *bear hug*
This is the most fun History class I have ever been. Now, Comedy Central is my fav teacher lol...
I freaking love the actors in these 😂
Tessa Thompson as Eartha Kitt is *genius casting*
The Eartha Kitt story was hilarious.
I'm inlove with them all, from these badass historians to the talented actresses, but the third lady was so freaking charming. Also I love how emotional and passionate the last historian was. It made me emotional too
This is the most coolest way to learn history I love it it’s how I try to tell story’s lol
Did anyone else tear up with Paget? 😢
I did 🥲
it was sweet
I think Paget is just so lovely.
Nobody:
That chihuahua: 👁👄👁
Nicole Byer is AHMAZING!
I’m so mad this show got axed. It’s total genius.
The doctor in the wilson clip looks like Walt Disney 😂It’s true that Mrs. Wilson basically ran the country
The dog’s demon noises are crucial
“College” 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tessa Thompson as Cat Woman. Grrrrrr!!!! Awesome Idea.
“And that’s why Dolly, rips this shit up” 😂🤍
So who was gonna tell me that THE iconic Eartha Kitt voiced Yzma
"That's how dumb people were back then. The president was just propped up and they believed it."
Nothing like today, of course!
They say history repeats itself 😂
Is this about the Queen
Just nuke eye of a hurricane 😅
“The haunted mansion that’s all Tim Burton with Johnny Depp didn’t happen on her watch. Not on her watch”….Love Jen, & love Elainor Wilson for only allowing badassery on her watch
"Oh wait, where is my lighter?.... thank youawww" 🤣🤣🤣
- Alright, well congress is like, bla bla bla
- Uuuuh...
I am learning vital happenings in history right here.
He was like, "how can I hit that?" ROFL
6:58 Can't ignore it.
It's comedy gold.
This is fu*king Brilliant! Got myself some great Irish whiskey and salvaged a BAD day.
Lol. Nancy Reagan buying a dinner set for guests to The White House, because before she did it, None of the plates and silver ware matched😄
So here we are in 2021 reliving the history of Woodrow Wilson.
You mean Grover Cleveland?
Biden might be a bit racist sometimes… but not that racist not even close
I wonder who is in charge of making sure that drunk people don't hook up on set? 🤔
Not that "host". Seems like that's his only function, (except when he does acting) trying to bone whoever's presenting.
Alia Shawkat is so pretty! I love the freckles! Also, very convincing in every role.
The look on the doggo's face at Khloe and Lamar 'stuaaaatiiooon'.
Great format. Thanks for the chuckles
Holy cow! Jen was REAL hammered
That last one got me. I love this series.
" povlechenko"..." pile of Jenga!"😂😂😂
What a great history lesson! This one I will never forget, ha ha!!
Woodrow Wilson: the OG weekend at Bernies
23:45 Okay, but that actress has the one single pageant tear down pat. Dang. I gotta learn to cry pretty like that.
‘Seat’s Taken’ OMG lololololol
This is one of the best ones ever!!!
There needs to be a _High History._ I'm sure you can figure out what that means.
Under appreciated comment! Make it happen people.
I was planning on doing a podcast like this with my friends 😂
@@rhonnichan I was going to make a podcast... but then I got high.
What does that mean? Too confusing for my smooth brain
@@soccermommyNPC The show would be about pilots who get high and tell stories of aviation history.
Thank you for your Excellent presentations. I Love your heartfelt performances of really important stories in American history 🇺🇸🏆♥️
I lit up when I saw Jen Kirkman. Shes the funniest and the smartest of all.
Imagine how dope it would be to have the nickname “Lady Death”
She was like, "COLLEGE!"
Yes, that is a brutal name for a charity.
I would love to see a "Drunk History" episode of how Doug Emhoff become the first Second Gentleman.
