92nd On-Demand: Ever hear a story so ridiculous you think, there’s no way that actually happened — only to Google it and realize, that’s basically the premise of SNAFU, the new book from actor, comedian, and history enthusiast Ed Helms. You know Ed from The Office (where his character made plenty of his own SNAFUs), The Hangover (which is basically one giant SNAFU), and The Daily Show (where he reported on actual SNAFUs).

He’s diving into the real-life blunders so absurd they make Florida Man look like a Nobel Prize winner. We’re talking about Cold War geniuses who wanted to plant nukes on the moon, CIA masterminds who thought cats would make great spies, and other government decisions that were — let’s just say — not exactly thought through. Join Helms for an evening of laugh-out-loud storytelling, history you won’t believe actually happened, and the kind of cautionary tales that remind us why reading the instructions is always a good idea.
