'Hamilton's' Lin-Manuel Miranda On Writing the Broadway Hit's Songs (On A Subway!)

[@littlemisswhovian1376]

"What they don't tell you in school" My mind: HAMILTON WAS WEARING HIS GLASSES

[@pearlg.7331]

LittleMiss Whovian I'm not the only one who thought that!

[@abbyhenderson149]

Same

[@weneden3823]

LittleMiss Whovian ikr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@saneplathreader637]

IF NOT TO TAKE DEADLY AIM

[@archiermanilo23]

WHY.

[@GSK1006]

"My useless superpower." No. That claw machine superpower will make him an impossible hero to his son and any other child.

[@Louis_the_delinquent]

me and him can raise the son together

[@EllyWinfield]

i'm literally going to cry the day they announce the filming of Hamilton the movie

[@2alexbonte]

yes

[@hollycolwell4188]

ill cry harder if the original broadway cast don't play the characters

[@unspokencat6218]

Elly J I'll cry a whole ocean if Anthony and Jasmine don't play as Alexander and Eliza in the film

[@brookehess6845]

UnspokenCat what about Lin and Pippa?

[@alex90028]

They filmed the broadway version with the original cast, so that will be out within a decade after the run is over

[@haydenhagmann7821]

he wrote Wait for It in an hour and yet it is my favorite on the album

[@aether413]

Genius happens in the strangest ways.

[@LikeAnOrchid-m4y]

I guess he couldn't really wait for it. Ba dum tss

[@agneseditsstuff]

+Debbie Palicdon hahaha yess

[@thatoneshepherd]

Debbie Palicdon Wow XD

[@brookehess6845]

Hayden Hagmann ikr

[@silverhawking]

A musical about calculus. I'm in. Who's gonna start the petition to talk him into it?

[@matalyngarcia9353]

Katie Miller let's do it ;3

[@snoopyhowlgaming2541]

mE

[@dancin4ever4198]

Google it, there is actually a calculus musical.

[@sophiaredwood5825]

Katie Miller I SIGN

[@ARS1508]

If it has the rivalry between newton and liebnitz then I’m in!!

[@trinisanerd3322]

AHHHHHH I CAN'T WAIT FOR MOANA but... I am willing to Wait For It

[@Chevycamaroman317]

... He he... Hehehe

[@alexzmartinez8773]

I appreciate you. haha

[@trinisanerd3322]

Hehehe merci

[@thatoneshepherd]

Anya TheHawkWolf OML I freaked out when I saw some of the music in Moana was written by Lin, SO EXCITED 😁

[@trinisanerd3322]

IKR?!

[@mllethenardier]

3:03 "So are you already working on your next project or are you going to *take a break*?" Me: * attention to interview gone as I start singing Take a Break *

[@maddiecoffey5387]

I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS, AND MADE SURE SOMEONE DIDNT SAY IT. I LOVE YOU FOR THIS :-D

[@sophiaredwood5825]

Mlle Thenardier I did the exact same thing!!!! XD

[@Athespian128]

Lin u outshine the morning sunn❤️

[@elizabeth.1905]

[@fruitoson4227]

my son my son PRIDE IS NOT THE WORD IM LOOING FOR

[@ckarchoffice]

There is so much more inside me nowwwww (sorry I had to)

[@ckarchoffice]

If we lay a strong enough foundation...

[@elle-24]

I don't know why but I love watching Lin just talk. I could watch him talk about almost anything for hours.

[@realsheep42]

His voice is relaxing to listen to

[@matalyngarcia9353]

Elle Manuel Me too. He's just so casual but very thoughtful about what he's saying. He would be an awesome person to just know in general.

[@maiconmazzy]

Same

[@VanneGibtAlles]

Can anyone imagine Lin standing next to the rock. I mean... the rock is this hughe like... well he's the rock and Lin is just this cinnamon roll :D This mental image will never let go of me...

[@chloebutler8438]

Correction: Linnamon roll

[@fivestarsforella3822]

DO IT. TURN IT I TO A MOVIE SO I CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT.

[@fruitoson4227]

IM WILLING TO WAIT FOR IT

[@BunnyLover516]

Ha. "Wait For It"

[@operasinger89]

they just take and they take and they take.... I'm willing to wait for it. lol although if and when the movie happens I would like the originals to do it please!

[@saoirsereynolds7321]

Chanel Number 2 THANK YOU

[@djheannam7764]

YESS PLEASE DO IT ILL WAIT FOR IT TILL IM 80 I WILL NOT DIE UNTIL THEY MAKE IT I WILL BE MADE IMMORTAL

[@dariaroman8560]

Q: What's your talent? Us thinking of Lin: Rapping, Composing, Free-Styling, Dancing, Hip-Hop.... Lin: I can empty a Claw-Mashine!!1

[@newzealand56]

i was excited for Moana coz its the first Disney movie featuring a Polynesian princess, being polynesian myself, but as a new Hamilton fanatic, its double the excitement!!

[@niamhbarry109]

newzealand56 I was like: "Moana? Meh. Doesn't look great. What's that? Lin wrote part of the soundtrack? GIMME DA TICKETS!!!!"

[@newzealand56]

Niamh Barry hahaha

[@animatedmittens4996]

Yes! Moana is Maori

[@lucyfoster4082]

Why is he just so delightful??

[@ryandhamilton18]

That combination of being humble and confident about one's own ability is what we need more of.

[@matalyngarcia9353]

Ryan Hamilton agreed.

[@clemclemclem-1]

This is a really good little talk! Questions I haven't heard Lin asked very often, Rachael is knowledgeable about and genuinely interested in Hamilton... And this may be odd, but Lin is the first person I've seen in a long time who actually drinks from the Obligatory Talk Show Mug. I love it!

[@shannamckenzie7076]

emilymaeflower it's not odd at all. I always watch him and he always does it...

[@shannamckenzie7076]

emilymaeflower quite nice

[@KoolioVibez]

From someone who has watched most of lins interviews……. He drinks like the whole mug. Every time he finishes a sentence or finish answering that question he drink from the mug. I guess his mouth is dry or something?

[@DanishNerdess]

Aww, his parents! 0:55

[@fruitoson4227]

MY SON LOOK AT MY SON

[@evynbarnes2366]

Danish Nerdess PRIDE IS NOT THE WORD IM LOOKING FOR

[@missmysticmessenger3091]

To me he is a beautiful potato. Yes I know my poetic genius knows no ends.

[@nootsuspicious]

He sets all out hearts aflame every part aflame this is not a game

[@whynot4726]

I find him stunning? Like he is just a beautiful man.... and I tell people that I think he's Hella beautiful and they thinks weird and I'm like ???????

[@coronationday4005]

Coronation Day THESE LYRICS ARE SO WRONG IT HURTS

[@bigjoelopez]

This guy is a genius wow!!! Two Broadway hits!!! I also loved in the heights!!!

[@tarynhollingsworth3333]

I rlly do hope that he turns it into a film musical that would be a dream come true

[@EverythingEverywable]

its gonna take many years for that to happen.

[@happy2bhere95]

+Kelly Damon They already recorded it lol

[@m.c24601]

😏😏😏

[@angeloortiz2769]

I'm already waiting for that film musical

[@idabergh-smith179]

Same! It would be the only way for me to see Hamilton! :(

[@yoimea]

Angelo Ortiz You could say that you're..... Willing to Wait For It.

[@angiewagner9232]

HES GONNA MAKE IT A MOVIE

[@abigailfuentes7673]

I had this 2-week-long Moana phase before I watched Hamilton. So now I know why. *Because Lin was behind both of them.*

[@emmacloud4739]

My Shot and Wait For It are my two fav songs

[@alyssa-lt9kh]

"Hey happy birthday I have to go" What a great friend.

[@kp3575]

lin-amin roll

[@Superpeppepower]

YES PLEASE I'LL ORDER A BAKER DOZEN

[@Ella-fv5ks]

IM SO PUMPED FOR MOANA OMG

[@gcollingwood6531]

Oh my god Lin you beautiful angel baby cinnamon roll

[@victor.2117]

Lin is overwhelmingly inspiring.

[@melissagifford67]

I could listen to him talk about anything All day.

[@coolbutcrazy101]

my sister has the claw machine talent as well

[@isabellethomas6905]

The fact that Lin wrote a song from Moana just makes me love him more! XD

[@leezah.9700]

i think he actually wrote all of the songs ( along with another writer, since some of the lines are in a different language)

[@fruityeel]

I want Lin to win me something out of a claw machine because I am probably the WORST player to ever exist. The last time I got something from a machine was almost three years ago lmao

[@resveries_]

1:51 that’s exactly how I feel. I used those exact words. I am in awe of how Hamilton never. stopped. writing.

[@mahwishfali]

Raise your hand if you are Lin Trash who should be doing something other than watching him speak

[@merafosterart3118]

[@antonia3868]

I'm legit gonna beg for tickets to see Hamilton the movie and then sing the songs and everyone will think I'm crazy😂

[@nervoussinger2778]

This made me happy for some reason❤️ NOW TIME FOR A LIN MANUEL MIRANDA MARATHON

[@alexandriamoon4388]

"Pride is not the word I'm looking for..."

[@felixcatta7501]

"So are you going to TAKE A BREAK?" Get it?

[@pamelamays4186]

Lin's parents: "Hey our kid is pretty great."

[@beckhamsmith4695]

OML! Movie, now!!!!

[@kiana7437]

His eyes. My heart melts😍

[@PhantasmalLight_00]

i spazzed out when he said hes writing song for a disney movie i was so happy i started shaking, idk if thats normal XD but i love lin and just ahhh so happy. and i also cant wait for the day that Hamilton becomes a film because i dont think ill ever get to see it in theater ever sadly

[@bookboywastaken855]

4:32 Yes Yes it will

[@nickjjismyhusband]

OKAY WE GOT THE LIVE PERFORMANCE OF HAMILTON, NOW I WANT THE FILM VERSION PLEASE OMG

[@bridgetteahl3734]

HES SO ADORABLE I LOVE HIM AWWW

[@alexam5942]

I have the same useless talent as Lin😂

[@artyzara1799]

The filmed stage version is coming out in 2020!!!! IT'S THE ORIGINAL CAST I'M GONNA DIEEEE!!

[@hannahrose5546]

I agree. Lin needs to write a musical that explains Algebra 1 because it’s kicking my ass.

[@user-me9vk8df6p]

This man is so talented, imagine having a power at claw machines? What a genius

[@ilachristine6396]

Rachel "Or are you going to take a break" I wanted Phillipa Soo to jump in and yell "THATS MY LINE"

[@monicajohnson8793]

A genius/creative chef/writer sits with a genius/creative composer/writer. Amazing.

[@Kitty294_]

Me: Looks through comments Also Me: **sees all comments from 3 years ago** Me again: Oh *DaNg* My mind: hahah you be extremely late to the party

[@alaakhader9481]

It's really interesting that he took so much time on My Shot and such little time on Wait For It

[@itsjustjordyn9661]

There is a musical called Calculus the Musical

[@katherineknapp6604]

Rachel Ray plus Lin_Manuel Miranda equals my childhood combining with my adulthood!

[@victoriavlogs7694]

when he said Really Good I absolutely bursted out laughing

[@willieboag9062]

I don't like how that host feels like she should be so proud of doing bad in school. Look at how she smiles when she says "I sucked at calculus, big time" or "I was fine [at history] too, but just fine enough to get through the test, and then it went right out of my head." It's not adorable...

[@nealonfreire6557]

I can't believe Thomas Jefferson came back in time just to dislike this video.

[@AmyOnhercomputer]

+Nealon Freire ikr wow

[@danyul4u186]

It seems he brought James Madison with him

[@kynnadeasloan2357]

No joke died at this comment

[@skyicee4801]

wow he’s so talented

[@theultimateusukfan]

OMG MOANA!?!?!?!!?!?!!! YES LMM YES!

[@tkegal]

He's such a wonderful person.

[@stephaniebuckner6840]

please turn it into a film musical!!

[@soffxx5363]

Ahhh I hope Lin makes a Hamilton movie or like a recorded version of the original broadway cast because that's what we all need

[@andx48]

Guess what im from the future!

[@Musictree16]

Halmilton fans are a the best comenters.

[@pamelamays4186]

Lin's parents are his biggest fans. There's so much pride in his dad's eyes.

[@bernettamorton3626]

You are so inspirational! Thank you now I'm gonna go and be like you...sensational! 😙🖒🖒🎶💖👏👏💖

[@mafcapetillo]

I would love a musical about the Mexican Revolution!!!

[@mariemitchell8731]

I can empty a claw machine 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@buildacastle4338]

Lin-Manuel Miranda is my emotional support animal

[@thatthespianperson9733]

Lin is non stop

[@ShadowGin3]

Aw it's so cute how Lin's parents are always with him

[@thejoshuascales]

And I'm still over here waiting on IN THE HEIGHTS to be a movie...(sigh) guess I'll just keep looking at KZbin vids of it

[@maryanderham]

I’m a simple woman, I see Lin, I click. I read the title later

[@PunkPopik]

4:06 what machine?

[@PsoPstrong]

Please do Hamilton in film! I want to see the story so badly.

[@linslay2003]

OMG I would totally need a musical about calculus by Lin! I would finally get an A in a math class for once lol. Ah he's a genius and he's so cute and so sweet and always has positive energy! He is so... perfect!

[@kemycake]

i love how everyone in here talks about how he's such a cinnamon roll

[@ricksmart8876]

who likes Hamilton like this moment if you do ( fun fact: Lin started writing my shot in 2009 and made Hamilton in 2015 ) cool huh? must have been a lot of pages

[@madwade2912]

Damn if you can come up with a song on a train, then I'm taking the train more often

[@nickelbransen]

"And that's what got him off his island to get him his education" "Get your education, don't forget from whence you came."

[@renskedunnewold1995]

Well, now there is no question of me seeing Moana as soon as it comes out!

[@awkwardm.m.4968]

RECORD THE MUSICAL AND PUT IT ON THEATRES IN PUERTO RICO. please

[@karristhomson4929]

okay cherry on top here guys HE CAN ACTUALLY BEAT THE CLAAAWWW HES NOW EVEN MY LITTLE SISTER'S HERO

[@ilovetweek000]

a musical about calculus sounds boring but if lin is going to write it then i’m in

[@CoriLane3060]

He loves his claw machines, like this man can’t go through an interview without mentioning that

[@thetunebella6675]

I know right like the man's got a flex😂

[@Gam3Junkie]

What Rachael Ray is still on? Nice.

[@LootFragg]

At first, this looked awfully Amurrican. But then I enjoyed this interview. If you have a guest like this dude, you just need to let him talk and spark new topics and that lady did manage that quite well.

[@RandomPerson-cz8yq]

"I was fine too but like fine enough to get through the test and then it went right out of my head." Story of my life

[@omarsalem1219]

Same

[@maddiecoffey5387]

"I can empty a claw-machine" Me: "COME WITH ME TO AN ARCADE AND WIN ME A NEW IPHONE"

[@jellyfish_3166]

1:36 I WROTE MY WAY OUT

[@basictween7861]

My friend always says I have a big forehead, I have no problem with it anymore because I just compare myself to Lin-Manuel Miranda 😂

[@thetreegod3531]

I would watch a musical on Calculus if Lin wrote it

[@kayleerae3383]

lin: my useless superpower me: my useless superpower is listening to hamilton on repeat all day

[@MrKarate255]

It took him a year to write "My Shot" but a train ride to write "Wait For It" And of course, "Wait For It" is my favorite song. *Kill me*

[@annabelvb]

My morning has been made now that I know I share the claw superpower with LMM 😀

[@katherineknapp6604]

OH AND GUESS WHAT? ANTHONY RAMOS ( JOHN LAURENS/PHILLP HAMILTON) IS PLAYING USNAVI IN A MOVIE VERSION OF "IN THE HEIGHTS " COMING TO THEATERS IN THE SUMMER OF 2021, CAN'T WAIT! AND YES, LIN WILL MAKE A VERY SMALL APPEARANCE AND IS PRODUCING THE MOVIE AND THE GUY WHO DIRECTED " CRAZY RICH ASAINS" IN DIRECTING HEIGHTS AND IT'S FILMED IN WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NEW YORK WHEREAS THE "HAMILTON " MOVIE WAS FILMED IN THE RICHARD ROGERS THEATER!

[@speedypainter52]

DUDE I HAVE THAT ALBUM IN MY ROOM!

[@erenscheeks7497]

"Are you onto your next project now or are you gunna *take a break*" Lin : *sweats nervously* 'Brb gtg tweet somethin'
