Assume the Position! It Begins Again!

One of the greatest programs I can remember, that few have ever seen, was "ASSUME THE POSITION" - a fantastic program hosted by Robert Wuhl, comic, actor and sports fanatic that takes on "history", trivia, and makes you smile every other sentence. It was something I remember seeing and then - faster than it appeared, it all went away.

The previous episodes of this have been available for years, and I look forward to seeing this series appear again. We will be covering it in our CAPTION HUNT series as well so be sure to tune in there for what are outstanding, memorable takes on American history and the world. I've included the pointer, breakdown and details for the show below. I also found some great samples on YouTube that are simply a tiny bit of what this series has to offer.

Assumption 1 (Using the Media in 1802)

Assumption 2 (Fact Vs. Legend)

Assumption 3 (Pluck Yew)

DO NOT MISS THE SECOND APPEARANCE OF THIS GREAT SHOW!

Attention, class! HBO welcomes back Robert Wuhl--eminent thespian, scribe and pundit--who will regale audiences with more of the stories that made up America...and the stories that America simply made up. The Emmy(R)-winning actor and star/creator of HBO's Arli$$ delivers an imaginative, irreverent "lecture" that playfully examines some of the facts, myths and myths-that-became-facts that have permeated U.S. history. Mixing pop culture with historical events and personalities, Wuhl explores the legitimacy of America's leaders; makes a connection between presidential facial hair and Fidel Castro; and much more. (TV14)
