The Decades is a unique comedy series that explores the cultural trends and shifts of the past century. Produced by the celebrated comedy collective, JASH, The Decades uses humor to explore the social, political, and cultural moments that defined each era. Each episode is a self-contained exploration of a different decade, from the 1920s to the present day. Through a combination of stand-up comedy, sketches, interviews, and archival footage, The Decades takes viewers on a journey through time and space, exploring the key events, fashions, scandals, and moments of pure weirdness that defined each era.

The Decades is hosted by comedian and writer Moshe Kasher, who brings his irreverent sense of humor and quick wit to each episode. Kasher is a seasoned comedian and writer, who has appeared on numerous TV shows and podcasts, including Shameless, Maron, and The Champs. His unique perspective on life, culture, and history make him the perfect host for The Decades.

Each episode of The Decades is filled with hilarious sketches that bring to life the weird and wonderful moments of each era. From the flappers of the 1920s to the disco queens of the 70s, the show embraces every aspect of each decade's culture, no matter how bizarre or obscure.

In addition to the sketches, The Decades features interviews with experts, comedians, and cultural commentators, who provide insight and analysis on the events and trends of each era. These interviews help to contextualize the sketches and provide a deeper understanding of the social, political, and cultural forces at work in each decade.

One of the unique features of The Decades is its use of archival footage. The show features clips from newsreels, commercials, and TV shows from each decade, which give viewers a glimpse into the past and provide a rich visual context for the sketches and interviews.

Despite its focus on history and culture, The Decades is a decidedly modern show. Its irreverent humor and contemporary production sensibilities make it appealing to a wide range of viewers, from longtime history buffs to younger audiences who are new to some of the era-defining moments explored in each episode.
