The Sausage of World Peace (Dinner Party Master)
from PastMaster: Reshaping History · host PastMaster
The Palace of Versailles. A dining table. Jesus, Gandhi, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Elizabeth I, Cleopatra, and Liz Truss. One host. No chance of this going well. Tan takes on the role of "Hostess with the Mostest" in a fantasy gathering of the most influential and most divisive figures who ever lived, and the challenge is simple: get them to see eye to eye. Over sausages. Tan's menu is symbolic, his icebreaker is a question about wrestling, and his guest list is a diplomatic minefield. The Game Master roleplays each historical figure with alarming confidence, and Tan has to keep proceedings civil while the most dangerous people who ever lived compete for the bread basket. Liz Truss is reportedly struggling to follow what's happening, which feels historically accurate. The energy is very much Come Dine with Me in a warzone. Versailles was built by Louis XIV as the ultimate symbol of absolute power — a palace so extravagant it helped cause the French Revolution. As a venue for the world's most awkward dinner party, it's perfect. Can sausages achieve what centuries of diplomacy couldn't? Can Tan keep Hitler away from the wine? Will Liz Truss contribute anything at all? The Game Master seems confident it can answer all of these simultaneously. If you were sent back in time, could you survive and thrive — or would you be burnt at the stake for being a witch? PastMaster is the show that turns history into an interactive adventure game. Each episode, a comedian is dropped into the past with nothing but modern knowledge and terrible ideas. The AI Game Master is strict. The chaos is inevitable. The past will be mastered.
