Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda made his way to The Ellen Show for some rapping, an awesome interview and and epic claw game spectacular. It's just as awesome as you would expect.
During DeGeneres' monologue, she decided she would rap instead of talking, however, she realized she couldn't rap. So, she brought out Lin-Manuel Miranda a bit early on in the show.
She called Miranda a genius and explained how he made a hip-hop musical about Alexander Hamilton. DeGeneres would give Miranda the subjects and the first was about people not holding the door for you.
The next subject happened to be the one annoying wheel on your shopping cart, running out of hot water and too many updates on your cell phone.
He was already off to a major start on The Ellen Show.
Of course he couldn't end his visit there so, DeGeneres brought him back out for an interview where he talked about moving forward despite Donald Trump winning the 2016 Election.
Miranda also chatted about the documentary on the early stages to the big success of Hamilton. He said you can't control how great something is, all you do is do the best you can.
Miranda said you have to live with the fact that if it opens and closes in one night you were successful.
Miranda said that he has messed up his lines from show to show, however, you just have to keep going.
It wouldn't be The Ellen Show if she didn't have her guest play a game and she heard that Miranda is a pro with the claw machine.
You can watch the claw game and more in The Ellen Show videos below.
