-"Hamilton" has become now --
I've heard so many people singing the songs,
rapping, quoting the lyrics.
Protests, people have signs holding your lyrics.
I mean, that's got to mean a lot to you, right?
-Yeah. And I think, also, just because so much of the show
is about legacy and how you can't control it.
You can only make what you make and do what we do,
and the rest is really not up to you.
And so, I'm incredibly proud when I see
"This is not a moment, it's a movement,"
or, "History has its eyes on you,"
at a Black Lives Matter protest or...
You know, but what's weird about the show is,
because it brushes up against sort of the origins
of our country, like, it just hits different,
depending on where we are as a country.
Like, I remember going to see it in London
when Brexit was happening
and seeing King George singing, like, "What comes next?"
You could feel the audience be like, "Ohhhh!
What does come next?" [ Laughs ]
-So topical! -Yeah.
And because it brushes up against this origin story,
because it's the story
of the one immigrant among the founders,
like, it always has something to say about the moment,
because we're constantly dealing with the past.
And if this moment is any indication, like,
we're never done with the past.
We're never done with the sins of the founders.
We're never done with the flaws,
the contradictions in the founding.
And so, it just, like, hits differently,
depending on, like, where we are.
-I just want to make sure I know.
It's July 3rd, correct? -July 3rd.
Midnight, West Coast time,
so that would be 3:00 a.m., New York time.
Do the math to your respective time zones.
-Okay. Perfect. -Yeah.
Like, and worldwide, everywhere that has Disney+.
-Then, here's another giant thing,
another thing why you're not sleeping.
I just -- I --
"We are Freestyle Love Supreme" is another film.
-Yes. That was a show that started in 2003
that we just -- it was just our friends.
We were freestyling for fun.
And it's a documentary about our 15 years.
And when we had our Broadway run,
you had us on your show to freestyle on your show,
and so that -- that's in the movie.
And so that will now come out on Hulu on July 17th.
-Can you tell me about your new campaign.
This is Raise Up? -Yeah.
So, you know, we're --
As soon as the pandemic hit,
we realized black and brown communities
were gonna be overwhelmingly affected by this.
And so the Raise Up fund is a fund for the Hispanic Federation
that donates to immigrant communities,
and now we're also partnering with Color of Change,
raising money for Color of Change,
and black communities affected by this pandemic.
You know, there are so many things going on in the world,
and this pandemic is still happening.
And Latino communities, black communities,
are disproportionately affected.
I live in Washington Heights. That is the second-highest hit
neighborhood right now in New York.
And so this fund --
So we have lots of, basically, like, fun items to bid on,
and the money will go to these communities.
You can go --
You can have a trivia night with Jonathan Groff.
It's like the gang's all here.
We had a --
My wife is auctioning off a cooking lesson.
We auctioned off tickets to "Hamilton,"
whenever we open, wherever we open first.
Chris Jackson and his wife auctioned a night.
So we're sort of calling on all our friends to make bids,
to make these special prizes,
all to raise money for groups affected.
-Yeah. raiseupfund.com.
We put the thing on -- I did this for the chyron.
The chyron will now be on the screen.
We're high-tech.
We're professional here at "The Tonight Show."
-Yeah, you guys have come a long way since that first show.
[ Both laugh ]
-No, just kidding. Better wigs.
Just -- Or worse wigs.
I don't know what's going on. All right.
We're gonna go to a commercial break.
And if you can, stick around for two more seconds.
Can I maybe ask you to maybe do a little freestyle
when we come back? Maybe?
-Yeah, we'll do some freestyle when we get back.
-More with Lin-Manuel Miranda, everybody!
