When Lin Manuel Miranda gets drunk, he has a lot to say about Alexander Hamilton. So much so that his "Drunk History" episode was extended to accommodate all the amazing footage.

"Drunk History," created by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner, is Comedy Central's liquored-up version of our nation's history. Comedians and actors get drunk and retell a historical event. Then A-list actors, from Michael Cera to Winona Ryder, act out the narration.

Business Insider recently talked to the Emmy-nominated production designer of Drunk History, Chloe Arbiture for her work on Miranda's "Hamilton" episode, which is available now on Hulu.

Arbiture is the only female production designer nominated in her category. She talked about the challenges of making history visually funny and entertaining, even when it's tragic. She also told us how exciting it was to unexpectedly get nominated for an Emmy. Her nomination was so unexpected, in fact, that she had to cancel her honeymoon so she could attend the ceremony.
