S1.E1 ∙ Gandhi & Benjamin Franklin
The students and leader of the Who Was Show discuss many "funny" achievements of Ben Franklin and Gandhi.
S1.E2 ∙ 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.
S1.E3 ∙ 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.
S1.E4 ∙ 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.
S1.E5 ∙ 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.
S1.E6 ∙ 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.
S1.E7 ∙ 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.
S1.E8 ∙ 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.
S1.E9 ∙ 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.
S1.E10 ∙ Genghis Khan & George Washington Carver
A fierce conqueror who built an empire and a scientist who made peanuts famous? Sure, they're important. But so is Ron's birthday.
S1.E11 ∙ 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.
S1.E12 ∙ 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.
S1.E13 ∙ Julius Caesar & Bruce Lee
Julius Caesar came and took over the Who Was? Show HQ. But can this Roman leader really beat Bruce Lee and the entire Who Was Show cast? (ending bonus bloopers!)
