Why Penny’s Brother From The Big Bang Theory Looks So Familiar – Looper

Putting his sketch comedy skills to good use, Jack McBrayer has made several appearances on the Comedy Central series “Drunk History.” The show is what it sounds like: a comedian gets drunk and tells a story from history, which is then re-enacted by more comedians who lip-sync along with the drunken narration.

Overall, McBrayer appeared in 11 episodes, all in re-enactments. In order, he played: H.R. Haldeman, Richard Nixon’s chief in the segment about Nixon’s historic meeting with Elvis; attorney Clarence Darrow, who defended John Scopes in the Scopes Monkey Trial; 1950’s disc jockey Alan Freed, who coined the term “rock and roll”; US President Andrew Jackson; 19th century Shakespearean actor William Macready; US President Abraham Lincoln; World War II hero Merrick Truly, mastermind behind Operation VIersen; Renaissance-era French judge Barthélemy de Chasseneuz; Charles of Valois, Duke of Normandy and founder of the House of Valois; and romantic poet Lord Byron. For his eleventh and final appearance, McBrayer played himself in a segment about the death of 1920’s Hollywood producer Thomas Ince, who died on William Randolph Heart’s yacht under mysterious circumstances.
