Great Americans

Great Americans is the flagship biographical retrospective series of the American Institute of Importance, the nation’s leading nonprofit dedicated to celebrating the figures who shaped this country. Join Henry Block (The Onion) and some of UCB’s top performers as the Institute inducts a new class of honorees: Scientists. Inventors. Various women in shawls shouting obscenities in public. Through a series of live dramatic presentations, audiences are granted unprecedented access to the lives, legacies, and defining contributions of these essential Americans. Let us be clear: These are the most important people in our nation’s history. If you haven’t heard of them, you’re being hysterical and no one believes you.
