REMIND PEOPLE TO WATER THEIR CHRISTMAS TREES. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

THE WAY. >> Tariq: THANK YOU. >> Jimmy: JONATHAN LARSON --
IT'S A STORY -- IT'S ABOUT JONATHAN LARSON. >> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: CAN YOU TELL EVERYONE WHO -- WHO HE WAS? >> YEAH.
JONATHAN LARSON IS -- IS MOST KNOWN TO THE WORLD AS THE COMPOSER OF "RENT," WHICH
KNOCKED ME FLAT WHEN I SAW IT FOR MY 17th BIRTHDAY I WAS IN THE BACK ROW OF THE
NEDERLANDER THEATER, AND IT WAS THE MOST CONTEMPORARY MUSICAL I'D EVER HEARD
IT WAS THE MOST DIVERSE CAST I'D EVER SEEN ON BROADWAY. IT GAVE ME HOPE THAT I COULD
MAYBE BE IN A BROADWAY SHOW. >> Jimmy: WOW. >> BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE THE
NEW YORK I ACTUALLY LIVE IN. AND IT WAS ABOUT ARTISTS, SORT OF, STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE.
AND I KNEW I WANTED THAT LIFE FOR MYSELF AND, YOU KNOW, SO I BECAME A
A THEATER MAJOR. I STARTED WRITING MUSICALS, BECAUSE I SAW "RENT.
AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A SENIOR IN COLLEGE -- NOW I'M A SENIOR -- I'M A THEATER
MAJOR. I DID IT I FOLLOWED JONATHAN LARSON'S
ADVICE >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND I SAW THE OFF-BROADWAY
VERSION OF "TICK, TICK... BOOM!," WHICH WAS DIRECTED BY SCOTT SCHWARTZ AND TURNED INTO
AN OFF-BROADWAY MUSICAL BY DAVID AUBURN, WHO REWROTE JONATHAN LARSON'S -- AN EARLY
WORK OF JONATHAN'S AND IT WAS AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL. >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> HE WROTE THIS SHOW ABOUT TURNING 30 AND NO ONE PRODUCING HIS WORK YET
AND IT WAS A LIKE A SNEAK PREVIEW OF MY 20s. IT WAS LIKE A PERSONAL MESSAGE
THAT WAS LIKE, "HEY, LIN ALL THOSE TALENTED FRIENDS OF YOURS ARE GONNA GET REAL JOBS.
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> "AND THEY'RE GOING TO GROW UP
AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE ONLY ONE BANGING YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE WALL OF YOUR CHILDHOOD
DREAM. AND LIKE, DO YOU STILL WANT TO DO THIS?
AND THE WORLD MAY NEVER NOTICE ANYTHING YOU WRITE ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT?"
>> Jimmy: ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT >> AND IT WAS CLARIFYING FOR
ME LIKE, IT WAS JUST -- I REMEMBER, I HAD, LIKE, A
A STOMACH ACHE I STAGGERED OUT OF THE THEATER AND -- AND IT WAS -- IT MADE ME
REALIZE, LIKE, MADE ME FULLY COMMIT TO, YOU KNOW -- >> Jimmy: WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
>> TO WHAT I'M DOING >> Jimmy: YEAH I WANT -
>> I HOPE IT -- I HOPE IT -- OH, YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW PEOPLE
>> Jimmy: WELL, NO I WON'T SHOW A CLIP. I WANT TO SHOW A CLIP FROM THE
I WANT TO SHOW A CLIP, BUT YEAH *
>> Jimmy: WELCOME BACK THE ONE-AND-ONLY LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA IS HERE
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE WE ARE -- WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR NEW MOVIE, "TICK, TICK..
BOOM!," WHICH I JUST LOVED >> THANK YOU >> Jimmy: I LOVED IT SO MUCH
I LOVED EVERY DETAIL IN THIS THING. AND I LOVE THAT STORY OF
STRUGGLE >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: AND ALSO, ARE WE
DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR TIME ON EARTH? >> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: ARE WE -- ARE WE SPENDING IT HOW WE SHOULD? AND ARE WE DOING, YOU KNOW -
IT'S ALL THAT STUFF. YOU KNOW AND ALL THESE DREAMS
AND FOR THE MOST PART, YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO WORK OR NOT.
>> RIGHT >> Jimmy: THE HEARTBREAKING THING ABOUT IS THIS, IS
JONATHAN LARSON DIED BEFORE THE OFF-BROADWAY PERFORMANCE HE NEVER GOT TO SEE IT
>> YEAH, THE FIRST -- YEAH, HE DIED BEFORE THE FIRST PREVIEW OF "RENT" OFF-BROADWAY
>> Jimmy: IT'S AN INSANE -- IT'S AN INSANE POWERFUL STORY, BUT YOU -- YOU DID IT SO WELL.
AND I FEEL LIKE ONLY YOU CAN DO THIS, IN A WEIRD WAY I FEEL LIKE, THIS IS -- I'M
WATCHING, IT, I'M GOING, LIKE, "OH, THAT MUST HAVE BEEN YOU." THAT -- I FEEL LIKE WHEN I SAW
ANDREW GARFIELD SLEEPING WITH HIS CASIO KEYBOARD, THAT YOU'VE DONE THAT.
>> YEAH, WELL, I -- I -- THE FIRST TIME I HAD A ROUGH CUT OF THE MOVIE, I CALLED MY -- ONE
OF MY BEST FRIENDS, COLLABORATOR, QUIARA, WHO WROTE "IN THE HEIGHTS" WITH ME
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND SHE LIVES ON MY BLOCK IN WASHINGTON HEIGHTS
AND I CALLED HER AND I SAID, "I HAVE A ROUGH CUT," AND I WILL LOVE HER FOREVER FOR THIS.
SHE SAID, "I'M ON MY WAY." >> Jimmy: YEP. >> AND, LIKE, RAN OVER TO WATCH
IT AND IN THE FIRST SHOT OF JONATHAN'S APARTMENT -- AND
AGAIN, I'M MAKING EVERY DECISION THROUGH THE FILTER OF WHAT WOULD JONATHAN LARSON DO?
IT'S A REALLY FAITHFUL RECREATION OF HIS APARTMENT, HIS LIFE, HIS WORLD, YOU KNOW,
NEW YORK IN 1990 BUT THEY CUT TO JOHN'S APARTMENT, AND QUIARA TURNS TO
ME AND GOES, "LIN, THAT'S YOUR BEDROOM, DUDE. >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> "LIKE THE FUTON ON THE FLOOR AND THE CASIO NEXT TO IT." >> Jimmy: RIGHT?
>> "THAT'S EXACTLY THE HOVEL YOU LIVED IN WHEN WE MET AND YOU WERE 24-YEARS-OLD.
>> Jimmy: AND YOU'RE WRITING SONGS, AND YOU'RE LIKE ON THE KEYBOARD, AND YOU GO, "I'M NOT
GETTING ANYTHING, AND I'M FIGURING THIS OUT," AND WHO KNOWS IF ANYONE'S EVEN GOING TO
HEAR IT. >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: "BUT I'M WRITING
'HAMILTON' RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE."
BUT UNTIL -- ANDREW GARFIELD -- IS UN -- >> -- IS OUTRAGEOUS.
>> Jimmy: UNBELIEVABLE IN THIS >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: AND I GO, "DID YOU
KNOW THAT ANDREW GARFIELD WAS YOUR GUY?" >> I KNEW HE WAS MY GUY.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE COULD SING >> Jimmy: HE CAN >> WHICH IS KIND OF, YOU KNOW,
A BIG THING IN A MUSICAL [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU KIND OF
WANT TO RESEARCH THAT BEFORE YOU DO IT. >> YEAH, BUT I SAW HIM IN
"ANGELS IN AMERICA," -- I KNEW I NEEDED A THEATER BEAST TO PLAY JONATHAN, 'CAUSE
JONATHAN LARSON LIVED AND BREATHED THE THEATER AND IT NEEDED TO BE SOMEONE WHO
COULD, SORT OF, ACT ALL OF THE SMALL HEARTBREAKING MOMENTS IN JONATHAN'S LIFE, AND SOMEONE
WHO COULD, LIKE, PLAY A ONE-MAN SHOW SINGLE-HANDEDLY AND PLAY TO THE RAFTERS
AND I WATCHED ANDREW IN "ANGELS IN AMERICA." IT'S AN EIGHT HOUR PLAY, IN TWO
PARTS. YOU EAT DINNER AT THE THEATER. >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND HE -- HIS, LIKE, RIB CRACK WAS CRACKED OPEN HE WAS SO INCREDIBLE, AND I
JUST LEFT BEING LIKE, WELL, THAT GUY CAN DO ANYTHING LIKE, HE CAN JUST DO ANYTHING.
>> Jimmy: YEAH AND -- SO, HE WAS MY GUY >> Jimmy: -- HE CRUSHED IT,
MAN. HE CRUSHED IT. AND THEN, I'M WATCHING THE
MOVIE, I'M LOVING IT, AND THEN, WHO DO I SEE BUT MY BEST BUDDY, TARIQ TROTTER, IN THE MOVIE.
>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: AS A CAMEO [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: AND I GO, "OH, MY --" AND YOU SHOT IT SO WELL.
>> THANK YOU >> Jimmy: THE VIDEO CAMERA THING --
>> THAT'S MY HAPPY PLACE 1990 IS LIKE WHEN I WAS RUNNING AROUND NEW YORK WITH A
A CAMCORDER WANTING TO MAKE MOVIES >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND SO, TO SET THIS UP, THE CONCEIT OF THE MOVIE IS ANY TIME JOHN STARTS SINGING, WE GO
INTO THE WORLD ACCORDING TO JONATHAN LARSON. AND JONATHAN LARSON WROTE THIS
RAP SONG CALLED "PLAY GAME" IN 1990, AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH HE DIDN'T LIKE WHAT WAS ON
BROADWAY IT WAS JUST, LIKE, HE WAS DEEPLY AMBIVALENT ABOUT IT
