History aficionados and business experts...we give you reason to cheer with a beer in hand. Comedy Central has renewed the popular show, Drunk History, for a third season.

"Drunk History" pairs inebriated storytellers up with A-list talent on a tour of cities across America, providing a unique take on the familiar and less familiar people and events from our country's great past as they reenact great moments in history very badly, due to their elevated BAC level.

Don't drink and act, kids.

Through the first four episodes of its second season, ratings for "Drunk History" are up +26% among Adults 18-49 vs. season one and +17% among total viewers.

As told by narrators who stumble and slur their way through the re-telling, season two segments have featured profiles of investigative journalist Nellie Bly and Claudette Colvin, who inspired Rosa Parks' historic stance, along with stories about the Baltimore plot to assassinate Lincoln and the midnight ride of Sybil Ludington.

Guest stars for second season reenactments include Jack Black, Courteney Cox, David Cross, Charlie Day, Laura Dern, Emily Deschanel, Nathan Fielder, Johnny Knoxville, Nick Kroll, John Lithgow, Jordan Peele, Joe Lo Truglio, Jack McBrayer, Stephen Merchant, Patton Oswalt, Busy Philips, Jason Ritter, Winona Ryder, among many others.

The third season will premiere in 2015.
