Drunk History: Abbi Jacobson Plays Gloria Steinem, Undercover Playboy Bunny


Abbi Jacobson is the latest celebrity tapped to act out the wildly unpredictable narration of Comedy Centrals Drunk History.

In Tuesdays episode, the Broad City star and co-creator dons a pair of rabbit ears and a tail to portray a young Gloria Steinem, who famously went undercover as a cocktail waitress at a Playboy Club in Manhattan for Bunnys Tale, a 1963 Show magazine article.

The story is narrated by ESPN host and comedian Katie Nolan, who calls the Playboy Clubs policies just gross.As per Drunk Historys typical protocol, Nolan attempts to explain the historic tale while inebriated, with Jacobson and other actors matching their actions to the narration.

Jane Krakowski of 30 Rockand Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidtalso stars in the episode, as bunny mother Sheralee.

Theres all these things they can take your money away for, Krakowski mouths to Nolans voiceover. If your ears are on crooked, thats a demerit. If your bunny tails dirty, thats a demerit. If youre not smiling enough, thats a bunch of demerits.

Jacobson-as-Steinem later concludes that the clubs were basically a prostitution ring.

Past Drunk History episodes from this season have featured such drunk celebrities as Tiffany Haddish, who helmed an episode about Heroines featuring Busy Philipps, and Questlove, who narrated an episode about Game Changers and the history of Motown, featuring Raven Symone and Jaleel White.
