MAKING HISTORY
(Sundays,
8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT)
Produced by Phil Lord and
Christopher Miller (“The LEGO
Movie,” “21 Jump Street”), and
created and written by Julius
“Goldy” Sharpe (FAMILY GUY, “The
Grinder”), the new comedy MAKING
HISTORY follows three friends
from two different centuries as
they try to balance the thrill
of time travel with the mundane
concerns of their present-day
lives. It’s a rollicking
historical adventure and a
contemporary comedy about love,
friendship and trying to fit in
to an increasingly complex and
impersonal world.
DAN (Adam Pally, “The Mindy
Project,” “Happy Endings”), a
facilities manager at a small
Massachusetts college, recently
discovered time travel and has
been transporting himself back
to the 1700s to spend time with
the colonial woman for whom he’s
fallen. In the present, Dan is
misunderstood by all, and
anxious that life is passing him
by. But by claiming song lyrics,
lines from movies and stand-up
bits as his own in the 18th century,
he’s absolutely hilarious – he
gets the girl and makes friends.
But Dan’s actions in the past
are messing up the present. That
woman he’s dating is not just
any woman. She’s Paul Revere’s
daughter, DEBORAH (Leighton
Meester, “Gossip Girl”), and
Dan’s meddling causes her father
to delay his famous ride, which
may have altered the outcome of
the entire American Revolution.
To set matters right, Dan
enlists the help of a brilliant,
polished and popular history
professor at the college, CHRIS
(Yassir Lester, “Girls,” “Key
and Peele”), who’s now given the
incredible opportunity to
actually live the history he
teaches.
Can Dan, Chris and Deborah
save America as we know it? Can
a woman from 1775 adapt to life
in 2017? Can the three intrepid
time travelers improve the past,
help the helpless, fight for
justice and find true love and
friendship?
