This week, History will launch Join or Die with Craig Ferguson, a new series that features a panel of celebrities and comedians joining an expert to discuss a particular historical topic. In an attempt to attract more younger viewers, the network is following that up with "Night Class," a late-night comedy block featuring three new short-form programs that will debut Thursday, February 25 at 11:30pm.

The first new program is Great Minds with Dan Harmon and was created by, yep, Dan Harmon of Community and Rick and Morty, and Richard Korson of The Daily Show. The series, which originally was developed as a pilot for IFC, will feature Harmon and a time machine that allows him to visit with some of the greatest minds to ever exist. He'll chat about their lives and bring them into the modern world on an adventure that drops the well-known historical figures into the middle of our advanced society. Sooo, it's sort of like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure in short form? A long-line of comedians and actors will drop by the series, including Paul F. Tompkins, Jack Black, Sarah Silverman, Nick Kroll, Dana Carvey, Aubrey Plaza, Kristen Schaal, Thomas Middleditch, and more.

The second new program is Crossroads of History. Created and written by Elizabeth Shapiro, the scripted short-form series will examine largely unknown moments in history that have ended up shaping the world. Expect to learn a lot about how Adolf Hitler was a terrible artist and how rejection from art school set him on the path toward genocide. Lou Diamond Phillips, Brian Baumgartner, Angela Kinsey, Jack McBrayer, Paul Scheer, and more will appear.

Lastly, How to Lose the Presidency will showcase real clips of embarrassing moments and mistakes that cost presidential hopefuls the race for America's top job. Highlights include Howard Dean’s scream heard 'round the world and Rick Perry’s time of forgetfulness. But don't worry, the current presidential campaign underway will not be forgotten.

Which show sounds most appealing to you?
