Meghan Trainor is Madonna as Drunk History returns
The first of three new mini-episodes from the Comedy Central staple premiered on YouTube today.
Drunk History, the Emmy-winning Comedy Central series, returned with three new short-form episodes in a month. The first episode focused on Madonna's provocative performance of "Like A Virgin" at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards. Singing sensation Meghan Trainor portrayed the event, wearing period-accurate lace and a rhinestone "BOY TOY" belt.
Accompanied by host Derek Watters and guest narrator Marisha Ray, the performance remained faithful to the original, with Ray demonstrating the shocking impact of Madonna’s act, even shocking Annie Lennox who lost Best New Artist In A Video that year. Ray, notably, was heavily intoxicated, having consumed five margaritas and three shots of tequila, but assured Watters her analysis of Madonna's daring act was truly impactful.
