Lin-Manuel Miranda's run as the titular character in his smash Broadway musical Hamilton came to an end earlier this month, but the Pulitzer Prize winner is hardly taking a break. He's in the process of bringing the musical to Chicago for its first run outside of New York (though he will not star). He's already signed on to star in a Mary Poppins sequel that will hit theaters in December 2018. But perhaps the most exciting news to come out of Miranda's post-Hamilton life is that he'll star in an episode of Comedy Central's Drunk History, telling the story of the infamous duel between the country's first treasury secretary and Aaron Burr while inebriated.
The announcement was made at San Diego Comic-Con last week, and it has us asking a lot of questions: What is Miranda's poison? Will he improvise a drunken rap that goes completely off the rails? Who will play the lip-synced roles of Hamilton and Burr?
In any case, if you didn't get a chance to see Miranda on Broadway during Hamilton's run, at least you'll be able to see him pissed drunk telling the story of the founding father without a father.
