>> James: 2020 HAS BEEN TERRIBLE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT

OBVIOUSLY, "HAMILTON" WAS RELEASED ON DISNEY +.

IT'S BEEN A STAPLE IN MY HOUSE WITH THE KIDS THE WHOLE SUMMER.

I'M INTERESTED TO KNOW, WHEN YOU WATCHED IT BACK, HOW DID IT FEEL

FOR YOU WATCHING IT, HAVING DISTANCE BETWEEN WHEN YOU WERE

JASMINE AND I WATCHED IT AT OUR APARTMENT, AND WE INVITED

WE SAT THERE AND THE MOVIE ENDED AND WE GOT EMOTIONAL.

WE CIRCLED UP AND HELD EACH OTHER FOR AT LEAST, LIKE, THREE

JUST REALLY, LIKE, WE COULDN'T BELIEVE WE MADE THAT, MAN.

JUST FIVE YEARS LATER, WATCHING ON THE SCREEN.

AND BASICALLY, LIKE, YO, THIS IS IMMORTALIZED.

>> James: BUT WHEN YOU AUDITIONED FOR THE SHOW, YOU

DIDN'T EVEN HAVE AN AGENT WHEN YOU MET MANUEL MIRANDA.

THAT'S GOING TO ANNOY LOTS OF YOUNG ASPIRING ACTORS OUT THERE.

I COME OFF THIS SHIP AND THEN I HAD GOTTEN A JOB DOING A SHOW AT

RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL, THEY EQUIVALENT TO THE CHRISTMAS

I'M CASTINGS, BACKSTAGE, WHENEVER YOU COULD FIND THE

THANK GOD BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO AFTER THE

BUT WHILE WE WERE REHEARSING FOR THE SHOW I WENT TO ANOTHER OPEN

AUDITION AT ANOTHER CAST COMPANY IN NEW YORK, AND I SANG AIN'T

LOOKED AT IT, LIN-MANUEL, ALL THE SAME GUYS IN THE HEIGHTS.

NEXT THING YOU KNOW, FAST FORWARD, I DID FOUR AUDITIONS,

THEY CALLED ME BACK, THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW IT WOULD WORK OUT WITH

BUT I GOT FIRED FRIDAY AT 1:00, THEN AT 4:00, THEY'RE, LIKE, YO,

WE HEARD YOUR JOB CANCELED, WE WANT YOU FOR "HAMILTON"'S MIXED

THE WHOLE CAST, WE EMPTIED OUT ALL THE FRIDGES OF ALCOHOL,

I GET THE CALL, MAN, AND I WAS, LIKE, MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS,

NOW YOU'RE IN THE HEIGHTS MOVIE WHICH WE HOPE SO MUCH IS GOING

TO COME OUT NEXT YEAR AND I FOR ONE AM GOING TO BE FIRST IN LINE

BUT YOU'VE ALSO GOT THIS INCREDIBLE MUSIC CAREER AND

AFTER THE BREAK YOU WILL PERFORM YOUR NEW SINGLE "STOP."

>> "STOP," YOU KNOW, "STOP" WAS WRITTEN FOR -- YOU KNOW, I JUST

THE SONG I WROTE BEFORE THIS PANDEMIC, LIKE, IT WAS -- I

I GUESS THE PANDEMIC WAS BEGINNING OR BEING PUBLICIZED AT

BUT MARCH 3, I WAS ON A TWO-MONTH TRIP FOR WRITING.

I WANTED TO LEARN HOW TO BE PRESENT IN THE MOMENT AND TAKE

WITH YOU AND NOT THINKING ABOUT NOTHING ELSE.
