Elbow-deep in turkey, ankle-deep in kelp - Tony Robinson goes in search of the not-so-happy holidays spent by those who've worked The Worst Christmas Jobs in History. Airing Monday, December 12 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the North American premiere of this one-hour special reveals the flipside of Christmas revelry.
From the Justice of the Peace shutting down churches and barring Christmas pudding to the Puke Collector cleaning up after the excesses of merriment, Tony bravely tries his hand at the most terrible occupations that have made the festive season what it is, from the Roman feast of Saturnalia to the 19th century Dickensian Christmas.
"Tony Robinson has the ability to render the goriest, filthiest, and most miserable tasks completely entertaining," says Cindy Witten, Vice President of Content, History Television. "The Worst Christmas Jobs in History truly makes us appreciate the comforts of the holiday season."
Other unpleasant positions include Yule Logger, Boar Hunter, Gossard, Back End of a Cow and Faggoter - someone responsible for gathering twigs in the snow. Once Tony has decided which turkey of a job wins the title of worst in Christmas history, he rolls up his sleeves and gets in the spirit.
The Worst Christmas Jobs in History will be repeated on Friday, December 16 at 8 p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT, Sunday, December 18 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT and again on Sunday, December 25 at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
Tony's back at it again this March with the second season of The Worst Jobs in History on History Television. The first season of the critically acclaimed series was one of the highest rated programs in the network's history.
