Thursday, July 21: Comedy Central Presents "Drunk History" and "Legends of Chamberlain Heights" panel

(Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel)

6:00-6:45 p.m. Learn about the history of Comedy Central's "Drunk History!" Derek Waters (Co-Creator/Host/Director) and special guests will walk us through how this liquored-up narration of our nation's history works with the help of an ever-changing cast of intoxicated actors and comedians. Booze helps bring out the truth; it's just sometimes the truth is a little incoherent! Set to premiere its fourth season on September 27, Waters and friends have plenty of stories to share from the making of the show. Fans will get an exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming season, a Q&A with some surprise guests, and plenty of "Drunk History" debauchery!

6:45-7:30 p.m. The party continues with a look at Comedy Central's newest animated series, "Legends of Chamberlain Heights," premiering fall! "Legends" mixes raucous comedy and social commentary, centering on three friends navigating through their freshman year in high-school: "Jamal," "Grover" and "Milk." The three basketball benchwarmers tackle life with some wins and some losses, but failure doesn't faze them since they're legends... even if it's just in their own minds. "Legends of Chamberlain Heights" is executive produced by Bento Box Entertainment's Joel Kuwahara and Scott Greenberg (Bob's Burgers, Brickleberry, The Awesomes), along with showrunner Devon Shepard (Being Mary Jane, House of Lies, Weeds). "The Simpsons" veteran artist Brad Ableson developed the original concept with former UCLA basketball players Quinn Hawking and Josiah Johnson, who used their own legendary benchwarming experience to provide the inspiration for the main characters. Join the "Legends" squad for this exclusive, first ever sneak-peek of Comedy Central's next big animated hit!
