DRUNK HISTORY
June 18, 2019  | By David Bianculli

Comedy Central, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON PREMIERE: One of the guest stars in tonight’s Season 6 opener of this goofy yet entertaining Comedy Central series is Colin Hanks, who portrays the oddball amateur aviator known as Lawnchair Larry. The real L.L., in 1982, attached 40 weather balloons to a lawn chair, sat in it holding a pellet gun and a sandwich, and went aloft outside of Los Angeles. Hanks has been on Drunk History before, playing iconic children’s TV host Fred Rogers. He did that, by the way, before his father, Tom Hanks, agreed to play Fred Rogers in a Hollywood movie being released later this year – making this one of the first times, surely, that father-and-son actors have portrayed the same role in different projects.
