Video Licks: History Channel’s NIGHT CLASS is What You Wish You’d Learned in School

History Channel’s new late-night programming block, NIGHT CLASS, premiered yesterday. It is exactly the humorous reprieve we need from the boring fact spewing you’re used to. It gives viewers a pinch of the real stuff and softens it with some hysterical embellishments, like adding lyrics to Beethoven’s famous compositions and introducing Hitler’s vicious art school superiors.

Great Minds: “Community” creator Dan Harmon takes Beethoven (Jack Black) to The Red Lion Tavern

The Cross Roads of History: An examination of Hitler’s (Josh Fadem) rejection from art school. Brutal! Featuring Paul Scheer and Elizabeth Shapiro as the future Nazi leader’s examiners.

Mentions: Watch Night Class Thursdays 11:30/10:30C on History Channel.
