- The National Archives Foundation honored Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Ron Chernow; Tony and Emmy Award-winning film and theater director Thomas Kail; and Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, lyricist, and performer Lin-Manuel Miranda with its 2016 Records of Achievement Award at its annual Gala on September 25, 2016.
During the program, the honorees discuss going through Hamilton archives, the process of translating the records into the musical, and the stories of Hamilton's life that they wish they could have incorporated into the show.
The Records of Achievement Award honors their collective work on the Tony, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize Award-winning Broadway musical “Hamilton,” inspired by the 2004 biography of Alexander Hamilton by Mr. Chernow. The Broadway musical was directed by Mr. Kail, and was written by and stars Mr. Miranda.

Lin could literally read the dictionary and I would listen to it.

Maybe if he taught all my lessons I would not get as distracted cuz I would enjoy it😂
Agreed!
Same though
Yes
FACTS!!!
I really enjoyed this interviewer! She allowed them to talk, didn't keep interrupting them, and seemed genuinely interested in what she was asking. Great video :)
I came for Lin, stayed for Chernow... wow, all his participations were amazing!
Chernow comes across as very soft-spoken and generous
His laugh tho hahah
He dedicated his book to his wife using Hamilton’s quote “the best of wives and best of women” 🥺 I mean- soooft
im just trying to watch every interview lin has
ron seems like he could be a history teacher,,,, i wish he was my history teacher,,,,,,,,,, man hed be my fave teacher he seems so nice
tori hi same so far I have been sucsiding
Yay! I'm not alone! There are other Hamilton fanatics out there too!
jeremy
*literally me*
Me oh my god.
"Yo, lets roll up on Benedict Arnold's house and get him!"-Alexander Hamilton, probably, as said by Lin XD
And what they said about the kids made me tear up, kids/teenagers need more credit about what they can do when passionate and what they can comprehend, it's so easy to say kids are just glued to their phones and aimless but if they find something to aim for its amazing.
Stephanie Barnes I teared up with the story of the kid's reaction to Phillip's death.
Some pretty bad language at times though
I think I may have watched like almost every interview with Lin, but only a few minutes into it this is already one of my favorites.
Ron needs to have a podcast about history.
Omg yes
Yes!
Loved what he said at 28:00 ... "there's one who needs you that night"
This interviewer is really great. She asks great questions and then let’s them talk instead of trying to talk over them. Well done.
I never get tired of listening to Lin-Manuel. I love how he takes the time to answer every question in detail and takes it seriously. Not just an amzing artist but also great human being.
PS: Lin-Manuel is wearing white socks with a tux. 😂
He always has a different color from every body else
-HELP I AM MEANT TO BE EITHER SLEEPING OR REVISING FOR -*-ALL-*- THE TESTS I HAVE TOMORROW BUT CANT STOP WATCHING HAMILTON VIDS!! -*-AHHHHHHHH-* I’m doing the right thing rn
Would love to watch/listen to Ron, Tommy and Lin interact more
Ron is on one of the first episodes of The Room Where It's Happening podcast.
thanks, i'll check it out
Amy Tucker it was so weird because I was siting at the dinner table and my dad randomly brought up that he went to school with tommy. I died.😂
These guys are my favorites. Love the energy. Love the humor. Love the intelligence. Love all of it!!!
Same here!
Wow. This was wonderful. All three were so intelligent and yet so humble. They have left a wonderful legacy for future generations.
I'm such a Hamilton fan, love these interviews.
Word
Dear Tommy Kail,
You're magnificent! ❤️
I’m a little late to the party. My son introduced me to the Hamilton soundtrack in 2019. He made me listen to the entire performance as we drove across the country for his music audition, the winter of his freshman year of college. I was not in the mood for rap music and struggled to follow along. He paused and explained parts quite often. I couldn’t appreciate it at that time. When it was released on Disney+, we watched as a family. That’s when I fell in love with the play. Since then, I cannot get enough. Lin Manuel Miranda mentioned the dense lyrics. He is so right. so much packed in each line. Every time I watch or listen, I hear something new that I must re-search. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote a masterpiece. He even inspired me to read Ron Chernow’s biography, that inspired LMM. The biography is so well written. I’m ready to read Washington’s biography from Ron next. I appreciate how this masterpiece of a musical has reignited my curiosities of our history.
lol "All she wants to do is talk about the founding fathers"
am I the only one that, any time they would speak, I would feel this ultimate need to listen to them, a need to listen to the words of wisdom and everything they’re saying. and listening to all the inspirational words, and all the things they say and everything it’s just so much and so fast and I wish I had been around when it was all big. But now i sit here and listen to it all.
22:41 I might've punched a Bur-sar ...OMG I JUST GOT IT!!! What a Brilliant pun. LMM you are a freaking GENIUS.
LOVE THIS! Also... Lost it at "All she wants to do is talk about the Founding Fathers" lmao
27:20 - 28:30 Thank you Thomas Kail, so much for that. This whole interview is wonderful, but that bit moved me to the core. Geez 🧡
such an insightful and delightful interview.
kudos to the interviewer for thought provoking questions allowing due time to answer them.
Lin Manuel Miranda is a prodigy! A good human being!
"I love these guys."
I read this as Ron said it 🥺
Absolutely wonderful interview!
Brilliant round table discussion here …
Ron's laugh at the end... :')
😂🥺❤️ I love all of them and Lin could read anything and I would listen to it
For the Young people moved by this Musical, google the ages of the founding fathers in 7/4/1776. Hamilton was 21. This country was founded by idealistic but driven YOUNG adults.
And for the 60-80 year-olds watching this, google the ages of the founding fathers. I bet the same things were said about them in the day by their elders that Are said about millennials now (minus the cell phone technology). But look who founded this country.
Priceless!
Great discussion.
This was an amazing interview!
I really enjoyed this.
Fabulous
Mr. Chernow needs to start a podcast about American history.
Why is Ron so soft spoken?... You might want to mic him in the future!
HAMILTON: I heard you name in princeton I was seeking an excelarated course of study when I got sort of out of sort with s buddy of yours I may have punched him it's a blur sir, he handles the financial.
BURR : you punched the burser.
Also HAMILTON l: well if it isn't aaron burr sir.
Lin Manuel Miranda and his puns
I have one more question.
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?
Diamond Panda 48
YES
Am i the only one who doesn't think lin looks like lin? He looks aged here. He needs sleep
No facial hair 😀
Chernow & Kail need better mikes!
26:00
34:32 Four in the morning.
The play, mainly the soundtrack, is great. Hamilton himself is not all that great and without Washington ‘on his side’ he wasn’t much. Almost no one liked him and I don’t see him as a great thinker. Miranda apparently considered other figures (such as Lincoln) and settled on Hamilton when realizing they were being done by others, etc. And the second half of the play is markedly not as interesting or good as the first half. But the soundtrack overall is great on its own.
14:21
I love Lin, but please someone teach that man how to dress himself. Is he seriously wearing white socks with a black suit?
What's wrong with you?? You're talking about socks which has nothing to do with what the subject is.
freddythepole
He can make anything look normal tho😂🤣😂
He is not the only one with a problem though. Where are Chernow's shirtsleeves? He is wearing a short sleeved shirt whit that jacket and a bowtie?
Not that it matters one bit for he is brilliant :D
