Lin-Manuel Miranda made a surprise guest appearance on Timothée Chalamet's SNL episode, joining a Founding Fathers cold open dressed as Alexander Hamilton. He emphasized democratic values in his rap, insisting that America would never have a king. The segment took a comedic turn when James Austin Johnson's portrayal of Donald Trump humorously reacted to Miranda's presence, poking fun at both Miranda's ambition for an EGOT and the political landscape. The episode underscored the tension between artistic expression and political satire.
And we will have leaders, but know one thing / In America, we will never have a king!
Oh, look at Lin. Look how bad he wants to do a rap.
He's in sniffing distance of an EGOT and he's gotta stand there 'til I'm done.
