History will repeat itself and so will the laughs as the Emmy-winning Comedy Central series DRUNK HISTORY transports viewers back in time to hang with the founding fathers in an upcoming HAMILTON-inspired episode. Get a first look at left, courtesy of EW. The episode will premiere on November 29th on Comedy Central.
In the show, an inebriated Lin-Manuel Miranda narrates the rivalry between Alexander Hamilton, played by Alia Shawkat and Aaron Burr, portrayed by Aubrey Plaza.
Lin-Manuel took to Twitter today to share some hilarious details on the filming of the episode:
1) I realize the @drunkhistory announcement happened when I was on vacation, so I'll tell you some things about that!

2) We filmed my segment @drunkhistory on Superbowl Sunday. I did not see the Superbowl this year.

3) I drank 3/4 of a bottle of honey whiskey as I narrated.

(along w A LOT of water.)
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
4) I woke up and a LOT of people I know (Groff, @questlove, @ChrisisSingin) texted,"Do you remember FACETIMING me last night?"
I did not.- Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) August 12, 2016
5) So I'm just as curious as you are as to what I said. And the casting is AMAZING. I guess we'll see this fall. @drunkhistory.

In the interview with EW, Drunk History's Shawkat says of the episode, "It felt so meant to be. Hamilton was just everywhere in my life. I even sent a picture to my friend who took me to the show, like 'So now I am Hamilton, that's what's happened.'"
She continues, "Me and Aubrey loved the outfits. We talked about how different we felt. We were acting different, walking different, interacting with the crew differently. There was something trippy about being dressed like a man all day. It looked kinda cool, kinda hot. I looked like a male version of my mom."
The new season of DRUNK HISTORY premieres on Comedy Central September 27th.
