The Worst Showman

The Worst Showman is the second comic in the History Alive series.

Synopsis
When P. T. Barnum learns that his Barnum & Bailey circus has closed, he sets off to make a greater one in the afterlife.

Plot
P. T. Barnum is watching RWN (Real World News) when he learns that Barnum & Bailey has closed. He decides to make his own circus. He tries to recruit Karl Wallenda, but he refuses, so P. T. settles for William Howard Taft instead. He also recruits Amelia Earhart, though she is skeptical. He tries to recruit Evel Knievel, but Evel grabs a bat and threatens to kill him. After hearing Blackbeard complain about a store running out of cannonballs, he decides to make him his final performer. Come the day of the circus, nothing goes as planned. William breaks the tightrope the moment he steps on it, and Blackbeard's cannon overshoots past the net. Amelia, seeing this, calls Fred Noonan, who picks her up on a plane. Later, on the news, Susan News and Bob Teleprompter laugh at P. T.'s misfortune.
