Lin-Manuel Miranda to host ‘Saturday Night Live’
The ‘Hamilton’ star is also set to act opposite Emily Blunt in Disney’s sequel to ‘Mary Poppins’
Alexander Hamilton is coming to Saturday Night Live.
NBC said on Wednesday that Lin-Manuel Miranda will host SNL on October 8. Miranda created and starred in the Broadway sensation about the first US treasury secretary.
Twenty One Pilots duo Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun will be the show’s musical guests.
SNL opens its 42nd season this weekend with host Margot Robbie and music from The Weeknd.
Miranda has a bit more time on his hands: He wrapped his run in the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton in July. He will star opposite Emily Blunt in Disney’s sequel to Mary Poppins and he wrote music for the upcoming Moana, an animated film with a Polynesian princess at its heart.
