Lin-Manuel Miranda Reprises 'Hamilton' Role, is Interrupted by 'Donald Trump' During 'SNL' Cold Open

Lin-Manuel Miranda reprised his iconic Hamilton role on Saturday Night Live, but his performance was interrupted by Donald Trump.

The 45-year-old actor and playwright appeared as Alexander Hamilton on the January 25 episode of the popular late-night show during the cold open.

“We will have leaders, but know one thing / In America we will never have a king,” he sang before Donald entered the stage, declaring that he was “in [his] king era” and prepared to make a new version of America.

The episode of SNL will be hosted by Timothee Chalamet. We’ve got his opening monologue to watch, too.
