From the looks of these promos, the History channel might have something special on their hands with their new show, Night Class.
Three short form series, Great Minds with Dan Harmon, Crossroads of History, and How to Lose the Presidency, will all be under the umbrella of Night Class starting tonight at 11:30PM.
If you’re into Harmon talking to Beethoven as played by Jack Black, you might want to check this out tonight.

Looks like that Adult Swim model is more popular than ever.
Looking to expand into more comedy-centric or comedy-adjacent programming, The History channel is adding more programming on top of Join or Die with Craig Ferguson.
Night Class will be a late night block, not unlike Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. The block will include Great Minds with Dan Harmon (Dan travels in a time machine to visit history’s greatest minds as played by Jack Black, Aubrey Plaza, Paul F. Tompkins, Thomas Middleditch, Sarah Silverman, and more), Crossroads of History (Elizabeth Shapiro highlights some of the more unbelievable, less talked about moments in history featuring Jack McBrayer, Wayne Knight, Lloyd Ahlquist, and more), and How to Lose the Presidency (a panel revisits how certain candidates committed campaign suicide).
We’ll all actually get to see how Night Class feels next week when it premieres Feb. 25th at 11:30PM.
