Will it always be only American History and not world History?

They'll wait until the ratings come in for this, then they'll have "Drunk History International with John Oliver"

"IF THE DEVIL HAD A NAME, IT WOULD BE CHUCK FINLEY!!"

Great, great question. I'd love to get an answer from the producers on this.

Of course, all this presumes that the powers-that-be are as enchanted with the show--and eager to see it evolve--as we are.

who cares about the rest of the world?? AMURICAAAA YEAH!!

Agreed... there is a lot of history to tell while drinking, I hope they branch out to world history :)

I'd like to see some European thrown in there.

There's still a lot of regions that deserve the full treatment. I don't know what's on tap for Season 3, but I'm sure New Orleans has a ton of interesting history. And I might get ridiculed for this, but Utah has some of the wackiest history you could ever imagine. Brigham Young was a character you just couldn't make up. I hope someone gets the ear of Derek Waters on that one. The Mountain Meadows Massacre on Drunk History would be just unreal.

I think one of the biggest reasons this show works is because you can give a geographic region of the US and a time period and most domestic viewers (for the most part..I think) would be able to understand the political and social climate of that particular time in the US.

For instance:
1940 Montgomery, AL
1780s Philadelphia, PA
1920s/30s Hollywood, CA
1941 Hawaii


And understanding the time period and a basic understanding of the characters involved will generally lend itself to a more amusing story. Foreign history, while I'm sure it could be done and done well, might be a bigger challenge if the audience knows nothing of the players and time period involved.

There is a UK version out now.

I understand. Thank you for telling me. -The masked bandit
