Episodes

Gandhi & Benjamin Franklin
One was a revered civil rights leader; the other, a revolutionary diplomat. Both spoke truth to power and had a talent for turning words into action.

Albert Einstein & Joan of Arc
What does a peasant turned Catholic saint have in common with a Nobel Prize-winning scientist? Inspired thinking, for one thing. Also: awesome hair.

William Shakespeare & King Tut
An iconic ruler of ancient Egypt and an influential Elizabethan playwright each left behind priceless relics that earned them rock-star status.

Isaac Newton & Amelia Earhart
He invented a new field of mathematics, while she sent flyers soaring to new heights. Both were trailblazers in their fields who bucked convention.

Marie Antoinette & Louis Armstrong
The beloved king of jazz and the reviled queen of France came from different worlds. Yet both achieved royalty -- and left behind a dazzling legacy.

Sacagawea & Blackbeard
In Shoshone, her name means "bird woman." In English, his name means ... well ... "black beard." One is famous, and the other is infamous.

Susan B. Anthony & Frida Kahlo
These two pioneering women were passionate souls who changed art and politics by doing what they loved. And sometimes wearing (gasp!) pants in public.

Marie Curie & Harry Houdini
She was a scientist who could speak five languages. He was an illusionist who was born to entertain. No "magic" involved -- just lots of hard work.

George Washington & Marco Polo
It's a tale of polar-opposite icons: one, a commanding leader known for his truthfulness; the other, a world traveler who probably told lots of lies.

Genghis Khan & George Washington Carver
A fierce conquerer who built an empire and a scientist who made peanuts famous? Sure, they're important. But not as important as Ron's birthday!

Pablo Picasso & The Wright Brothers
Go-getters in completely different fields had the courage to try something new. One was an artistic genius, and the other two took to the skies.

Galileo & Queen Elizabeth
The Renaissance sparked the rebirth of art and science. It also saw the rise of a royal icon and an astronomer who changed how people saw the world.

Julius Caesar & Bruce Lee
He came, he saw, he took over Who HQ. But can a famed Roman ruler conquer a martial arts master and the entire "Who Was?" cast? (With bonus bloopers!)
