The Al.com story of Allan’s early days in comedy and the origin of his nickname “Molasses Boy” .

The Drunk History segment featuring Allan telling the tale of world-renowned scientist Percy Julian is listed among the best according to Vulture.

“Allan McLeod’s desert-dry monotone makes for some of the funniest, most endearing episodes in the show’s history; check out his John Wilkes Booth and Jean Lafitte stories if you need more proof. But his magnum opus is probably season two’s recounting of Percy Lavon Julian (a pitch-perfect Jordan Peele), a Black kid growing up in the “Jim Crow segregation land” of Montgomery, Alabama, before becoming the chemist who created synthetic compounds used in just about everything from steroids to birth control. Julian’s contributions to science are so many that McLeod wills a list of all the stuff he created to scroll down the screen (and even grabs and eats one). Plus we get a helpful lecture on the ratio of soybeans to horse dicks.” -Clint Worthington, Vulture
