Comedy Central to Premiere New Episodes of DRUNK HISTORY and CORPORATE

Comedy Central's Drunk History and Corporate are both back with new episodes beginning Tuesday, January 15 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT respectively.

Celebrating its 6th season premiere, DRUNK HISTORY devotes a full episode to an Are You Afraid Of The Dark parody around Mary Shelley's creation of Frankenstein. The episode features A-list talent including, Evan Rachel Wood as Mary, Seth Rogen as Dr. Frankenstein, Elijah Wood as Percy Shelley, Jack McBrayer as Lord Byron and Will Ferrell as Frankenstein's Monster. The episode is narrated by Rich Fulcher. DRUNK HISTORY is created for television by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner and is produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Gary Sanchez Productions.

Season two of the critically-acclaimed CORPORATE will feature its own lineup of star-studded guests with Kyra Sedgwick, Elizabeth Perkins, Kristen Schaal, Sasheer Zamata, Baron Vaughn and Andy Richter. CORPORATE stars series' creators/writers/executive producers Matt Ingebretson and Jake Weisman as two Junior Executives-in-Training at Hampton DeVille, a heartless, CORPORATE hell-hole led by tyrannical CEO Christian DeVille (Lance Reddick) and his top lieutenants, sycophants John and Kate (Adam Lustick and Anne Dudek). As Matt and Jake navigate an ever-revolving series of disasters their only ally is Grace (Aparna Nancherla), a Hampton DeVille HUMAN RESOURCES rep who is beleaguered by both her job and her exhausting relationship with the very needy Matt and Jake. CORPORATE is directed by co-creator Pat Bishop. Follow CORPORATE on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

As previously announced, Comedy Central will debut the final season of Broad City on Thursday, January 24 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the series premiere of Comedy Central's brand new, half-hour scripted series The Other Two.
