@@LADYJOKER81 yea it got cancelled because of covid at the beginning of the pandemic. Don't know if it'll come back though. Wish it would, I do know they have all 6 seasons on hulu.
My husband and I went to an outdoor concert in our town... to see Ray Charles. While everyone was finding their seats, it was announced that, due to poor health, Ray couldn't perform. I was crushed but then I looked up and saw Eartha coming towards me, looking for a seat. Had no idea she was a local. I thought, well... if I can't see the legend I came for, at least I got to see this one.
@@carrington2949 Ray's last minute replacements were another local, Michael Bolton, and Roberta Flack❤. Not too shabby... but seeing Eartha really made it extra-special. (I was hoping they'd call her up on stage)
21:00 The original, actual, published statement - "Adams has a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."
Eartha Kitt’s politics that she spoke out about, mostly make sense - believe in Black youth, don’t send our boys to die in Vietnam. She did also say that she didn’t think marijuana use OR the entire “hippie culture” would even exist without the Vietnam War, which is… kind of out there, probably not true and pretty imperialist when you think about it. She still ABSOLUTELY did NOT deserve what she got for speaking her truth to power. Incredible talent. And certainly never abused anyone, unlike so many famous people who saw no consequences in their lifetime.
well seeing as "hippie culture" is mostly a product of propaganda created by the fbi to associate enemies of the state (people who opposed the war/minorities) with marijuana, which they then made illegal to allow them to hunt people who opposed the war and faught for civil rights (this is a summary of a statement taken directly from the director of the fbi at the time, who was in charge of overseeing these decisions) its really not that out there.
I live in Philly, about 15 min from Poe's Philly house. If you ever have a chance to visit it, DO. It's the coolest freaking place. They show you where he wrote the tell tale heart and the black cat and a bunch of other stories and poems in a really cool way.
15:36 The two dudes casually on a mobile. Hilarious. Besides the detailed scenery the lip syncing on the literal basis is brilliant. And the delibarately bad fitting beards and wigs do the rest. Aweseome.
My father had a serious fanboy crush on Eartha. He took my sister and I to the Orpheum theater in San Francisco to see Timbuktu. My sis didn't tell him that her husband was working backstage and got him in to meet Miss Kitt after the show. We could've rob him blind that night because all he could think of was his meeting Eartha.
When I was a kid I had a horse I named Lady and my step dad would always call her Lady Bird & I never knew the reference until now. 30 some odd years later…. Wow…. 😵💫👏👏
Is that Christian Bale as Nast? And the narrator is clearly under the influence of drugs(perhaps some kind of medication¿) ,and cocktail it with alcohol 😅
Okay but can we just appreciate for a second the fact that Valkirey (Tessa Thompson) was in this. I love her and have been a fan since she had that article about her in time magazine a few years ago.
I named a cat Eartha Kitt.… He died recently. I thought it was a girl when I took him to get fixed they told me it was a boy, so I kept the name Eartha, Kitt he did not know.… I miss that kitty. I really do. He left behind close friend another cat who has been semi-lost ever since his name is crusty after crusty the clown from Simpsons he’s got green eyes and fur Like a bear
Booo Comedy Central for canceling the show
What this show cancelled? Hopefully they notices it’s genius and brings it back.
Agreed!

I am so mad that they cancel it
BBC has it too though. It's really funny.
Tessa Thompson as Eartha Kitt?! Amazing!!
I didn't realize how much she resembled Kitt until I watched this. She could definitely play her in a biopic!
@@ambrabridges2161 true, I think it's their face structure, but both of them are gorgeous.
If Hollywood will remake Catwoman in the future, she got to be the one!
I know, right! She’s so perfect it’s terrifying
I like that 😉💜
there is something so incredibly funny about john adams technically lying twice about jefferson being dead
😂
I love how Thomas Jefferson & John Adams were friends and became rivals and friends again after their presidency.
I friggin love the Eartha Kitt impression!
“You’re my best friend!”
“We barely know each other.”
“Cheers 🥂.”
😂
3:19 “holograms don’t even exist yet”
Poe was always ahead of his time!
BRING THIS FREAKING SHOW BACK. I DEMAND IT!
I love that they shot Lady Bird as a batman villain
The lightning effect was perfect
I never knew this about our Queen, Eartha Kitt.

The original, actual, published statement -
"Adams has a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."
That makes so much more sense as a thing to say. Yet back in those days, still a deal-breaker for many people.

" knocked on erfah's kit's fronts doors".. 😂😂 😂 IM 💀
Not the cellphones in the 1800s!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least they were antique ones
Tessa Thompson needs to play Eartha Kitt in a bio pic NEOW!

8:07 and Eartha Kitt was like "NooooOOOOOooooo" 😂😂😂

It's always the pizza that will go with any drama/crime film!
"Is the pizza here?" 🍕
You always hear about eartha kit and the only time I hear about ladybird is the dog named after her in king of the hill.
That’s the best part!
"Ladybird IS NOT A RACIST" 😂😂😂
Then I'm guessing you're not a Texan. We talk about her a lot: the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, her campaign against billboards, etc.
😂😂😂😂
@@tejaswomanyeah but it’s Texas. The rest of the country doesn’t care about Ladybird whatsoever
Tessa Thompson killed it.
They actually couldn’t remember the date of the signing of declaration of independence 🤣
Anyone else notice that the pillows in the bit on Tammany Hall had tiger striped pillows? One of Nast's most famous cartoons was of the Tammany Tiger.
That's THE saddest looking pizza I've ever seen.
Every cheese pizza is the saddest looking pizza ever
Flip phones 15:36 in 1871, only Comedy Central can get away with this. LOL!
Hornswaggled. Let’s bring that word back.
Edgar Allen Poe used the eff word a lot 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
The sneezing 🤣🤣
I loooove seeing them actually sneezing, not lip syncing.
It’d be hilarious if they had Paul Giamatti to play John Adams…again 😂
18:19 Talk about a recess. and the story went on. I love it
Noah Wyle AND Jason Alexander? My childhood in a nutshell!
Tessa Thompson must play Ertha kitt in a bio pic
😂 I thought they were done when they jumped in the pool.
best part of the anachronistic mobile phones is that they're anachronistic for now too
Mulberry Pizza, Los Angeles! So classic 🍕
That pizza looked like what happens when you put too many wet clothes in an economy dryer.
😂
I would have thrown that on the floor after opening that box

Nicole Byer is amazing
I only watch this for the Eartha Kitt part
Same. And Tessa, as Eartha, was amazing! ❤
OK, but Jen chucking Derek in the pool, though. xD
25:00 you’re my best friend!
YOuRE mY BoY bLUE lol
..but we barely know each other 💀
This show is great
Jesse Plemmons as Poe is just...awesome.
What about Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton? That one is hilarious! I’m so bummed that DH got canceled, it cheered me up on bad days.
They probably figured they'd already covered that in the episode that was devoted completely to Hamilton.
When I was a kid I had a horse I named Lady and my step dad would always call her Lady Bird & I never knew the reference until now. 30 some odd years later…. Wow…. 😵💫👏👏
Paying people for book reviews used to be the usual practice.

Greetz from old europe
Eartha Kitt - Fabuuulllouus!! Tessa Thompson - Awwwhsommme !!!
Heard Duncan and went "CLANCY!?"
Where did you find that Eartha Kitt actress? She is so perfect.
I think the feud with Edgar Allen Poe is the funniest darkest, most representative story
There Eartha Kit story, um I luv u Queen 👑
Rip beautiful 💃❤️
My smile when Duncan starts off this compilation 🤓
Why can’t we get these uncensored?
The fifth element: it's everything and id legitimately love to know how that movie was pitched -a brilliant bonkers film
This is now playing on Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.
Hey Joe Rogaine called he wants his Duncan back....😂😂😂😂
Love Tessa Thompson
These are some excellent impressions!
I love it!
I can not describe how great or is to see Doncan Trussel on DH- again!!
Griswold dying with a Poe pic in the room is giving homosexual ✨
Someone HAS to pick this show up
Yo that earths kitt actress is hot
Tessa Thompson
I have one of those tiger pillows!
Did they use mine for the show
Most likely
That is one of the worst looking pizzas ever.
Is that Christian Bale as Nast?
And the narrator is clearly under the influence of drugs(perhaps some kind of medication¿) ,and cocktail it with alcohol 😅
There’s a bromance right there
I don’t know No grisly or whatever wold but I know Adger Allen Poe so we all know who won that battle

Duncan trussel is awesome.
Ooh hey it's Librarians Leverage guy!
Is it just me or does the guy narrating the Adams/Jefferson story have the same vocal cadence as Obama?
That is the WORST pizza I've ever seen.
Man I miss this show so much.
