For its third season, Drunk History added recognizable faces like Will Ferrell and Jason Momoa to play real life people from different times. The Comedy Central series features an inebriated narrator telling a historical story while famous actors reenact the events and lip sync to the dialog.

This time around, they brought in Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer to take on historical badass, Harriet Tubman. In an amazingly accurate and wildly amusing account, the plastered storyteller recalls how Tubman participated in the Civil War as a nurse before becoming a spy for Union soldiers. She also somehow remembers the exact date when the famous abolitionist led a stealth army into the Combahee River Raid to free at least 700 slaves in South Carolina.
