Lin-Manuel Miranda reprised his iconic Alexander Hamilton role during a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live.
The sketch comedy show’s latest cold open spoofed the founding fathers creating the United States Declaration of Independence.
“I say, our lives matter not if we lose them in the cause of liberty. What matters is the nation we built,” Miranda says at the beginning. “Because in America, all men are created equal. America, not England, we do win the sequel, and we will have leaders, but no one thing in America, we will never have a king.”
However, James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump cut off Miranda, saying, “Never say never. I’m in my king era.” (Trump kicked off his second term earlier this week with his inauguration on Monday.)
A Complete Unknown actor Timothée Chalamet is this week’s host and musical on the NBC sketch comedy show.
More to come.
