The Season 6 Drunk History Trailer Features a Boozy Amber Ruffin

Derek Waters’s Comedy Central series Drunk History returns in January, and today the network dropped the first trailer for the next batch of episodes. As previously announced, season six will feature an Are You Afraid of the Dark parody set around Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein featuring Rich Fulcher, Evan Rachel Wood, Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood, Jack McBrayer, and Will Ferrell, and Comedy Central revealed more of the lineup today:

Vanessa Hudgens and Rachel Bilson as sisters Marge & Helen Callaghan knocking it out of the park in their reenactment of the start of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.


Amandla Stenberg as Elizabeth Eckford, one of the nine African American students who were the first to attend Little Rock Central High School in 1957, also known as the Little Rock Nine.


Alison Brie & Sugar Lyn Beard as Thea Spyer and Edith Windsor, the married couple who fought for LGBTQ rights. After Spyer’s passing, Edith challenged the Defense of Marriage Act and won.


Josh Hartnett as Joachim Neumann who rescued his girlfriend and escaped to West Germany through the “Tunnel 57†under the Berlin Wall in 1964.


Q’orianka Kilcher as LaNada Means, a student leader at UC Berkeley who organized the Third World Strike, which ultimately led to the development of the Ethnic Studies Program.

Today’s new trailer also reveals the return of a very special drunk narrator — Late Night writer Amber Ruffin. Watch the new season when it debuts on Comedy Central Tuesday, January 15, at 10 p.m., followed by the season-two premiere of Corporate at 10:30 p.m.
