(JTA) — “Drunk History” is a popular Comedy Central show in which stories from history are recounted by narrators who are, as the title implies, under the influence.

The latest episode, set to air Tuesday night, includes a telling of the hunt for Adolf Eichmann, the main architect of the Holocaust who escaped to Argentina but eventually was captured by Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.

The vignette is narrated by Rachel Bloom, the Jewish star and creator of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” and also features performances by Tony Hale (“Arrested Development,” “Veep), Alex Karpovsky (“Girls”) and Weird Al Yankovic (who plays Eichmann). Needless to say it’s hilarious, and you can watch the full clip above.

The Eichmann capture story is also hitting the big screen when “Operation Finale,” starring Oscar Isaac and Ben Kingsley, comes to theaters in September.
