For a series that really takes license with both science and history, what better way is there to bring the season to an end than having Dana Carvey play JFK and there be the threat of giant mutated spiders?
Don’t even bother thinking of an answer and just watch the season (and maybe series?) finale of Great Minds with Dan Harmon here.
In a much better, more concise version of what the movie Transcendence was going for, Great Minds with Dan Harmon has to deal with their latest guest, Ada Lovelace (played by Gillian Jacobs), who is credited as a pioneer with computers, and what happens when she gets her hands on a modern computer.
Also, Dan tries his darndest to play matchmaker.
Watch it all unfold and see if they achieve merging human consciousness into computers here.
Dan Harmon’s short form series Great Minds at History Channel’s Night Class returned with more to take some delightful license with bringing historical figures to the present day and put them (as well as Dan) into morally and ethically comprising situation to humor the rest of us.
The latest episodes that have Danny Pudi play a Buddha who gets drawn into product placement and Andy Dick play a John Wilkes Booth that’s coerced into playing Lincoln accomplish this quite well.

Dan Harmon’s Dungeons & Dragons sessions, that have been their own live show as well as part of his podcast Harmontown featuring Spencer Crittenden and guests who may be more or less acquainted with D&D, is getting its own show on Seeso.
Harmonquest will not only feature the riff-filled version of D&D with the likes of really funny people joining in the journey, but will also have great animated reenactments to accompany the game as the story unfolds.
Here’s a preview with Paul F. Tompkins as one of the guests that shows how great this concept really is.
Look for Harmonquest to start streaming on Seeso starting Thursday, July 14th.
If you’ve been watching Great Minds with Dan Harmon on History channel’s Night Class, you’ve might have noticed that the relationship between Dan and Spencer Crittenden, who is solely responsible for the time travel that makes possible, is tenuous at best.
Luckily, their latest guest is none other than the legendary psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud, as played by Nick Kroll who gets to analyze their relationship, albeit in a very Freudian, psychosexual manner.
See if Kroll’s Freud is able to fix their relationship all the way in 2016.
First off, Kristen Schaal playing Amelia Earhart should make your day on its own. However, Great Minds with Dan Harmon one-upped that by giving the farewell to Earhart that she probably would have wanted.
In an attempt to be more diverse, Great Minds with Dan Harmon on History channel’s Night Class ended up with infamous dictator Idi Amin (as played by Ron Funches) as a guest.
Well, Idi started as a guest and sort of hijacked the show as dictator are wont to do when on a TV show.
Thomas Middleditch, who just happens to be a member of The Improvised Shakespeare Company, made for a great William Shakespeare on last night’s episode of Great Minds with Dan Harmon.
Unfortunately, for Harmon, Shakespeare and him didn’t quite get along as well as he had hoped especially for William’s take on modern movies and TV. They, in fact, get into a shouting match hurling insults from across the centuries at each other.
This time on Great Minds with Dan Harmon, Dan comes face to face with women’s rights pioneer Mary Wollstonecraft (as played by Aubrey Plaza) and immediately has a big time crush on her.
What follows is a pretty great example of how trailblazing Wollstonecraft really was.
The latest episode of Great Minds with Dan Harmon, part of History channel’s Night Class, has Dan unprepared on so many levels to meet revered writer Ernest Hemingway as played by Scott Adsit.
In fact, Dan questions himself a lot next to Hemingway, making for another great episode of this show. Watch it here.
