"I want you to imagine you get two tickets for Hamilton" it's so hard even Lin has to just imagine it.

[@3Silence]

The moment I've been waiting for: Hamilton and Hamilton in the same room. Did you mean: The room where it happens?

[@TMSokoya]

They should have called it Hamilton on Hamilton.

[@jackkearsley6785]

ham on ham

[@solidsnake58]

I seriously want a supercut of every interview Jake has done where someone has replied "What a great question."

[@GGliorF123]

This interviewer was fantastic!! He asked such interesting questions, I loved it.

[@muscateer]

"Great question. You really DID do your homework this week"

[@azi_vasey9106]

I love this lin looks so much healthier now without all the late nights n stuff I love his constant optimism 💖

[@selamw]

exactly what I thought too

[@siobhanobrien78]

Yeah he looks like his old self. He's so cute in those old sad sad conversation youtube videos; I especially loved when he lip synced "Mama will provide" from Once on This Island .

[@savvygam3r]

bakerstreet bois ikr same, but I like him with his hair long better tbh 😛

[@writeawaygirl]

"I'm just trying to catch up with the rest of the world." Did you mean: What did I miss?

[@aravensfeather2874]

Nicely played 👌🏻

[@ruthannemarie2668]

**camera zooms in whenever Lin talks** Lin is important Lin is bae, best fan camera-man

[@kyliekeller2147]

guys lets face it we'd all ask hamilton if he and laurens had a thing going on cmon

[@camille5394]

Potato Trash SOOO TRUUUEE I ship it sooo much!!!

[@wormbag80]

YES

[@johnlaurens2587]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@claraunicorn1613]

Words can't describe how much I respect and love Lin. He's literally the best human ever. Love❤️

[@byDsign]

*GREAT INTERVIEW!!!!* This 55 year old Hamilfan LIVES for these videoclips of Hamilton *anything* on KZbin. And your name IS Hamilton... you're already LOVED! LOL

[@kitt4y]

If Alexander Hamilton comes up to me and says: "Interview me," the first initial question I would ask is, "so, you and Lauren's...anything there...special?"

[@tealares]

Y E S

[@wormbag80]

SAME

[@cinnamonbun2251]

Excellent interview! Man, I can just see Hamilton himself being asked that question after the show and being like, "... Yes."

[@suicidal.session]

L: Well? What do you think? Did I do it? Do you see yourself in the show? H: ... Yes. L: ... Wait, is that all you have to say...? H: ... Yes. *tears in eyes*

[@elliejackson5407]

Beezeecade no he'd probably be like: Bitch you represented Jefferson perfectly he was such an asshat and George Washington is queen and King George the III had some serious separation anxiety and was always a dickwad.

[@elliejackson5407]

But one thing you forgot: "PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES

[@babyangel1317]

Fantastic interview i have missed watching you interview ppl with question that they actually have to think about answer to

[@hectorrivera6624]

"This kid is insane man, was his name man? " His name is Lin Manuel

[@fruitoson4227]

the way the interview guy was watching lin is all of us

[@6756popcorn]

Living in Chicago it was nice to hear that from Lin.

[@chloeillustrates4703]

Omg, I relate to Lin so much. I read a story about Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler love life and then I found Lin’s musical. Thank you Lin for making In the heights and Hamilton.

[@ftwnhgn]

Easily the best interview with Lin-Manuel Miranda that I've ever seen. Your questions were amazing! So, so well done. Finally someone with unique and interesting question. Thank you for uploading this!

[@jae7590]

i didn't notice how much i fucking love his eyes until now. good god, they're so pretty.

[@Berbean]

Smol Lin = Best Lin

[@Berbean]

***** Yes he is. Smol child.

[@gigapixelbyte8927]

Smol Linnamon roll

[@fruityeel]

This was such a good interview!! Lots of new questions. And I'd probably break the rules and ask Hamilton a bunch of questions. It's hard to just ask one thing, you know?

[@kmarshallx3]

AMAZING Interview. Super well researched. Interesting (and NEW!) questions. Just awesome. 😍😍

[@JBBaird715]

Lin looks so much better with short hair. Don't deny, you know it's true.

[@chaeryonq9703]

J. Baird yes really, but i still miss his long hair because c’mon PIGTAILS

[@leekeishakeishaleesmith3801]

Oohhhh I don't know, I lovvvveddd his long hair🥰

[@azi1936]

Denied

[@Chaidiamond]

Great interview as always! Two of the best in their respective fields coming together was always going to be awesome 😊

[@whatisthis4070]

My left ear enjoyed this commentary

[@bernettamorton3626]

I know I will meet you one day! It will be so cool! Just you wait...just you wait! You are such a cool dude! My 10 year old grandnephew is so into Hamilton and he is asking questions as I chauffeur him home after school. Sometimes I have to Google to find out. I say..."Ooo, that's a good question...I don't know...let's look that up." My niece would ask, "Is that homework?" I say, "No, he's just really interested in finding out about history because of this hit Broadway musical!" We are so excited! My sister was listening to my Hamilton mix tape and wanted to borrow it...it's a gift to her now. Lin Manuel, you are a gift to us! We treasure and love you dearly! I'm gonna take my shot at being a writer. You inspire and encourage me and countless others. You have brought me joy! Thank you, Lin Manuel Miranda! Love and blessings alwaysto you and your beautiful family! 😙👏👏👏💖💖💖

[@bonafidechamploo]

wish this channel was so much bigger

[@zoedevvv]

I'm definitely writing a musical about Lin ;)

[@heynowmate5072]

Pause at 7:01

[@evalynn1863]

I was not disappointed xD

[@arainmiao3781]

Thank you

[@ruhishah4950]

Thank You!

[@iAzaria]

Jenny1942 bless your soul

[@zelicca]

+Jenny1942 So what's up with 7:01???

[@demented2935]

I would have asked, “Did I tell your story?”

[@ktal3167]

I dont think it was that strange that a hip hop musical worked for our countrys history. If lin miranda asked me about it while he was writing it i wouldnt have blinked an eye. Hip hop is powerfully emotional and poetic. Perfect art for story telling. It just makes sense.

[@gillianb2352]

great interview!

[@wileysboyz]

Best interview of Lin Manuel that I've seen. Excellent job!

[@melissarohan8322]

Just you wait was a phrase that must've been heard a lot during the process of getting Hamilton going.

[@isabellemartinez9353]

Lin manuel Miranda is Hot

[@degradedsun6248]

Duh

[@jaleria489]

Dream big brother that’s what he is

[@RoseNoho]

Oh, yeah...

[@sophies794]

W a capital H I see

[@glaicelobato8407]

Tottaly! His geniuses and talent make something about him SO attractive and sexy... Can't explain

[@beomgyuniverseofficial]

That question made me want to answer it. If I had the chance to lean over to Alexander Hamilton himself and ask him a question about the musical, it’s this: “did they manage to tell your story?” I feel like Lin put in a lot of work into the musical because imagine all those people who lived before us, dreaming of being known, people like us. Just normal people. But they were never known. Sometimes I wonder that. But anyway, stop wasting ur time reading this sentence go off now 😊

[@Koribaby1]

"I don't know that Hamilton's genius." The humbleness, friends. Because COME ON! I love Lin's team. Alex, Tommy, Jeffrey. They got his back.

[@alianderson1710]

The one dislike is from Burr.

[@failingaesthetic4878]

the two others are George Washington and Samuel seabury

[@iAzaria]

Ali Anderson wait there's another one.... dammit jefferson!

[@niamhmcg7842]

And peggy

[@mamajenkins1981]

Ali Anderson daveed Chris Leslie Phillips renee interview Charlie rose

[@nphan08]

Why does he assume he is the smartest in the room hey?

[@megagarts1721]

Why did lin cut his hairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it was so beautiful

[@fruityeel]

Mega G Arts true, but maybe now we can watch it slowly grow out again and become a copy of his majestic Hamilton locks.

[@slux33]

Mega G Arts he looks really handsome with short hair!

[@mackenziemeyerhofer6600]

Thank you for this!

[@terryreyes9027]

Lin I just got into Hamilton in June 2016,loved it from the start and the most poignant thing I can say is because of you I finally have respect for milliniums.

[@miaclarke6489]

Terry Reyes I’m seeing it in 3 days 6 hours 56mins and 19secs (and counting)

[@pamelamays4186]

When I was a kid, the idea of a rock musical was out of the question. Then came along Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar.

[@felippesponton]

I would say to hamilton: "you really gotta work out those duels ideas, bro"

[@lillyrose8670]

I would ask him: If you wrote a musical about another historical figure, who do you think you would choose?

[@joanpaim7780]

Lilac Shadow and

[@ritay1182]

My left ear enjoyed this interview very much. Thanks!

[@Nemesis_SN]

Jake. Hamilton. #DABES

[@paulinamacias2944]

Great interview! Just subbed

[@giulia6344]

It must be so hard to be Lin now though. He sat his own bar SOOOO high. I totally think whatever he comes up with next will be as good if not better, but damn I imagine that opening night will already be packed because of his fame. That must be tough on him, but I hope he knows we all already know whatever comes next will be incredible too.

[@meagan5009]

I'm obsessed.

[@cultivatepod]

"I feel like this is gonna be a Frost/Nixon" haha of COURSE Lin would make that reference

[@GlauciaFR1986]

Maravilhoso! Adoro!

[@osaeg6547]

4 dislikes from burr, madison, jefferson, and john adams

[@saurora2869]

Lafayette street

[@annabellekremens2051]

I feel bad for the 5 people who dislike this, they can't enjoy the best person ever.

[@szepenszoloszolo5177]

Great interview

[@rainbowfangirl1298]

it's funny I already have plans for: Miranda

[@mindy2215]

Beautiful!!!

[@caris4837]

1:06 THAT IS THE ONLY STUPID THING LINNAMON ROLL HAS EVER SAID AND THE FACT THTA THE PREVIOUS FACT IS TRUE GOES TO SHOW HOW GENIUS HE IS AND HOW GENIUS THE SHOW IS

[@caris4837]

Ok well maybe just the most stupid thing but it's far more stupid than the others

[@poggieauggie529]

I was like "BITCH HAVE YOU EVEN LISTENED TO YOUR OWN MUSICAL"

[@Sortaboring]

Woah finally a great interviewer

[@GlauciaFR1986]

Perfeito

[@daniellecollins7522]

You cant ignore or get tickets to. Lol my life. The one about going to the show with the real Alexander Hamilton was a *really* good question.

[@suicidal.session]

I'm writing it, I'm writing it, MIRANDA, I'm writing it, I really want to write, GOD, I already see it, mi casa, su casa, livin with others tryna earn a dolla- Nvm that's terrible, I don't Spanish, fuck, I wish I could write it so badly, I'm in tears because of his man, I've never seen anyone so fucking COSMIC, I just-

[@summersky828]

Beezeecade i speak spanish. WE CAN WORK THIS OUT.

[@soph403]

LET'S GO.

[@nerdiedreams]

when this is on Broadway, hit me up for either a job or a lifetime worth of tickets.

[@springdayisnottoday371]

Is Jake Hamilton a descendant of A. Ham

[@PhineasandFerbRulez]

[@rubyw3775]

[@manoukh31]

[@skywilliams1518]

*You see the thumbnail* *You immediately that of Bruce Banner aka "Hulk"*

[@bianca6519]

omg ok i know all of Schuyler sisters but my sister knows the whole album! everysong

[@theo4991]

Great interview, but the sound not being mono is really, really bugging me, especially during the narration :'o

[@PartTimeSarah2]

Does anyone know what episode of Last Week Tonight the clip at the beginning is from where John Oliver is saying something like "It's so freaking good"?

[@loveebuggss]

7:02

[@ainsleighisnotgoodatsienec5292]

I'm too late to see it I'm never gonna see it 😓😭😭

[@azi1936]

Wait no one is talking about Hamilton writing under a pen name 😂 jeez I just think that’s so interesting

[@Rundrop]

"There's absolutely no reason it should've worked" How can you say that?

[@maggiemissildine-be6iv]

Hamilton wse. Happy.

[@クロウ-y9i]

My small beautiful son :)

[@somethingstrange9804]

I can be Alexander Hamilton with that second ticket....? (they will never know I am a twelve year old girl who looks nothing like Hamilton and just want the tickets....he he so sneaky)

[@polarcanadia7448]

I would ask Alexander Hamilton.....Why does he want to be known so much? Is it because when his father left, mother died, and cousin gone that he realized without family you are basically another person like anyone and no one cares? That no matter how many ups you have in life it'll always find a way down so it can't stay satisfying so no use in categorizing it under that? Ehh, idk, but since knowing of Hamilton he is the one old old dead man in history that love. I'm never changing my mind(phhshh, not love love.) idc about what bad things he has done because the same range could be for the good. Plus he was against slaves! :D

[@lucydempsey37]

Anyone else think him and the interviewer are sitting uncomfortably close to one another

[@sophies794]

I better live to see Miranda the Musical, just sayin'

[@radicalxedward8047]

This is what real diversity is supposed to be. Incorporating various cultures and perspectives to create new and better things. Not the fake virtue signaling anti-white diversity over story crap we get with stuff like captain marvel.
