This Day in History
I will release one sketch a day in 2025. Every sketch will be inspired by something that happened on that day in history. In a stroke of genius, I decided to call the project This Day in History. The sketches vary from humorous adaptations of real-life occurrences, satirical depictions of historical events put into modern popular culture situations, to animated shorts. I would love to collaborate with an organization that shares my vision and passion for this project and would like to use my content on their social media accounts.
This Day in History Trailer
Watch the trailer for This Day in History!
This Day in History was loosely inspired by Mel Brook’s History of the World and my desire to create more content, faster. This project has been one of the most creatively challenging and rewarding undertakings of my life. It has made me a better, faster, and less precious comedian. It has made me write in ways I never had and edit in ways I would have never thought to. And, although I joke about my knowledge of history in the trailer, This Day in History legitimately taught me a lot about the history of the world. I am not saying that anyone should use This Day in History as a historical source, but it all really is based on true history.
And yes, it all really was researched on Wikipedia… so maybe I shouldn’t be so confident saying that last sentence. But also, like, Wikipedia has become a very reliable source, right? The contributors are performing a herculean task; God bless them. We wouldn’t be here without them. Not like here on Earth, I was born before Wikipedia, but we wouldn’t be on this web page because I couldn’t have done This Day in History without it.
