Who could better narrate the history than the man who made the unknown Founding Father of America a household name? Broadway hit "Hamilton" star and creator Lin Manuel Miranda will narrate the upcoming episode of Comedy Central's "Drunk History".

For those who don't know this fan-favorite show, "Drunk History" is where celebrated actors and comedians narrate the some parts of the history of US while intoxicated at they're being reenacted on film. Miranda fits the episode as he will discuss the story of Alexander Hamilton.

In a new clip released from the episode, in which Entertainment Weekly has premiered to everyone, Miranda did not resist to be explicit in language on how he detailed Hamilton's first meeting with Aaron Buur at Queen's College.

He also discussed the two of them departing their respective schools to join the Revolutionary War. Hamilton serves as the Aide-de-Camp under first US President George Washington before taking his path to Battle of Yorktown.

Miranda tweeted during the show that he drank three-quarters of a honey whiskey bottle while taping it on Super Bowl Sunday. Despite this claim, he sounds decent and kind of sober.

His narration was way too funny with some colorful sound effects added to his narration to make it amusing and entertaining.

Arrested Development's Alia Shawkat and Parks and Recreation's Aubrey Plaza will also be in the comedy show. Shawkat will be Hamilton while Plaza will portray Burr.

To add more fun, the episode will also feature Bookem Woodbine, Dave Grohl, David Wain and Tony Hale. Would not that be awesome?

The episode of "Drunk History" with Hamilton's story will air on November 29, 10:30 p.m. ET on Comedy Central. Miranda will also premiere his mockumentary with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson called "Millennials: The Musical" which will be released on the same date through YouTube.
