    • Trivia
      The show's hosts, Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain, representing the 1700s and 1800s, were initially to have been joined by Will Rogers as a representative of the 20th century, but the creative team was worried that Will Rogers wasn't quite as iconic a figure to represent the modern era that could stand next to the other two hosts, reducing Rogers to a smaller role in the Great Depression scene.
    • Quotes

      Benjamin Franklin: Well, Mr. Twain, what do you think of our America now?

      Mark Twain: I think the founding fathers never dreamed of America like this.
