Why Get Actors To Tell The Stories?

I think it's to mainly draw viewers. Also, it helps that the actors can tell a funny story without being obnoxious, unlike regular drunk people tend be.

For the record, it was always actors/comedians/or writers narrarting.

"The internet is overflowing with intelligent, astute, and articulate people. No, really, it is."

What bits are you referring to? As far as I know every story teller, including those on Funny or Die, were comedians, writers, or people involved in the entertainment industry in some way.

I've seen a number of comedians make total fools of them on this show, and some have vomited, gone the bathroom outside, or completely collapsed. I thought Natasha did a great job.

If you're watching Drunk History to get a history lesson with "authenticity" then you're going to be disappointed every single time. It's not an educational show. Part of why it's so funny is seeing a someone with an average education try to explain something while drunk, like watching somebody try to give a book report after hitting the bar.

Just check your own avatar. It's the result when you let non-professionals mess with things they don't understand.
