''Puppet History'' is an “edutainment” game show created primarily by Watcher co-founder Shane Madej.<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12305222/?ref_=tt_sims_tti</ref> The show is hosted by The Professor, a puppet controlled by Madej. The show usually features fellow co-founder Ryan Bergara and a variety of special guests. It covers a variety of historical events and people that are lesser known, or quite unusual.<ref>https://uspto.report/TM/88924929</ref>  The guests compete for “history points” – represented by [[Jelly bean|Jelly beans]], which are said to be the Professor’s excrement. At the end of the show the “History Master” is award a trophy, some Jelly beans and, in season 2, a pin.<ref>https://watcherentertainmentwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Puppet_History#cite_note-1</ref name="PHS2Trailer /> Furthermore, the show features a musical guest as the “history points” are tallied up. The musical guests typically previously feature in the show’s focus, (e.g. the Propeller from Season 1, Episode 3) but not always (e.g. God from Season 1, Episode 4).<ref>https://watcherentertainmentwiki.fandom.com/wiki/ name="PHS2Trailer">{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o0OYtAMv0I |title=Puppet_  History#cite_note-1  Season 2 Trailer |date=August 9, 2020 |publisher=Watcher |access-date=February 18, 2021 |via=Youtube}}</ref><ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJU2Tq3qqsY&list=TLPQMTQwMjIwMjHgoVyC8YAlEg&index=3 |title=Surviving The Titanic: History's Luckiest Woman • Puppet History |date=April 10, 2020 |publisher=Watcher |access-date=February 18, 2021 |url-status=live |via=Youtube}}</ref><ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MZZrDA-I4M&list=TLPQMTQwMjIwMjHgoVyC8YAlEg&index=4 |title=The Dancing Plague • Puppet History |date=May 22, 2020(contracted; show full)of the first shows to have premiered on Watcher’s YouTube channel.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkDRruNanFA |title=Introducing Our Weekly Talk Show • Watcher Weekly #001 |date=January 10, 2020 |publisher=Watcher |access-date=February 13, 2021 |via=Youtube}}</ref>.
