The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd is a television series on History that tells stories characterized as "unbelievable" or unimaginable. It is hosted by Dan Aykroyd and has run for 2 seasons.[1][2][3]
Premise
[edit]Dan Aykroyd hosts this series where he and a group of experts tell historical true stories which defy reality. Aykroyd would make puns or jokes which would implicitly reference his own work with the Blues Brothers or Ghostbusters. The first shows would sometimes recycle stories told by William Shatner in the sister program The UnXplained (which has run since 2019).[4]
