To achieve Labor Day perfection, consult this checklist:
[ ] Sizzle colossal ribeye over hot coals.
[ ] Wear white pants.
[ ] Listen to a lot of Bob Seger.
[ ] Watch Adrien Brody free himself from a straitjacket.
Perhaps we should clarify that last one...
We’re talking about
HOUDINI, a two-night miniseries on HISTORY starring Adrien Brody as the legendary escape artist, premiering Labor Day at 9/8c.
What Michelangelo was to painting and Ted Williams was to swinging a baseball bat, Harry Houdini was to cheating death. You know this. But unless you were alive during the Coolidge administration, you’ve never actually seen him perform. That all changes this Labor Day, though.
Because just after sundown, you’ll turn your television to HISTORY. You’ll dim the lights. You’ll demand absolute silence (and some of that leftover potato salad). And then you’ll watch an impoverished immigrant (played by the aforementioned
Oscar-winning Adrien Brody) rise to become the greatest illusionist of all time,
breaking handcuffs, meeting Rasputin and surviving being buried alive along the way.
Goes without saying, but... don’t try this at home.
