After a long hangover, “Drunk History” is back.

The Emmy-winning comedy show is returning with three new short-form episodes, seven years after it last aired on Comedy Central.

From Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner, “Drunk History” pairs inebriated storytellers with scrappy historical reenactments. (The facts and dates are true, but the dialogue definitely isn’t.) The first new episode, launching on Sept. 15 on Comedy Central’s YouTube channel, stars Meghan Trainor as Madonna, focusing on the pop icon’s legendary performance at the inaugural VMAs.
