Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!" - บันเทิง

That's sexist
No, just a severe case of Hamilton addiction.
He fooiiine af.
Hahahaha
But why is he so cute all the time?
''How did you become a part of the project?''
Miranda was on Diggs' doorstep one day
In distress and disarray
Miranda said: ''I've nowhere else to turn''
And basically begged him to join the play
you deserve more likes
XD
amazing
This is so good that I’m not even going to say that it’s a musical (even though I just said it)
PUNKINPIE YALL we know, but musical doesn’t rhyme.
So where can we start a petition to have him as a Disney Prince?
omg aladdin
I thought this part should go to Hercules Mulligan
Eleanor Pfeferman hercules can be the prince and lafayette can be the princess ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
River yes.
THE ENTIRE MALE CAST OF HAMILTON AS DISNEY PRINCESS’S
Daveed needs more credit for his role as Lafayette! I mean, that rap! That accent!
I'm sure he got a Tony.
Exactly
Mia Dyer I love your profile picture 😍
Nekochan Mee Thx
check out his group clipping. if you don't know about it
"When you cast Daveed Diggs as Thomas Jefferson he's not the villain he's just a guy that we like that we're not supposed to."
Actual Trash and also he's really hot and it's not fair.
Actual Trash Yo hello fellow trash 😂
Like the master/missy and Moriarty
Actual Trash not like, *LOVE*
Wait... We weren't supposed to like Jefferson?
People ask how Lafayette went from struggling to say anarchy to rapping guns and ships, they forget that a couple years have probably passed
It was like 5 years right?
@@lils426 idk
Not that anyone asked but last week I posted two Hamilton vids so ya #selfpromo hehe
@@lils426 I'm listening to Chernow's biography of Hamilton now. I think Lafayette comes on the scene in 1777 or 1778, Yorktown was in '81
@@158269squeak close! In "Aaron Burr, Sir" the background vocals start by singing 1776, and Yorktown was in 81 as you said. So 5 years ye
@@KanrApocalypse The musical took some liberties with the timeline. Mulligan and Lafayette were never close if they knew each other. Hamilton, Lafayette and Laurens were best of buds under Washington in the army
Jefferson: Dresses like fake royalty
Hamilton : You literally have a pimp cane, and a fugly purple jacket.
Jefferson: EXCUSE ME, THIS IS FUCHSIA-
Exactly my thought when I watch it! Every time!
Yes! Same thought I had!
Yes! And lol
What about the king's song, You'll Be Back. Funniest song ever about the king getting all jealous like a cat fight among boyfriends that had an agreement for a break. Lol
In real life, Thomas Jefferson had red hair, hazel eyes, and peachy cream skin. He would've looked either great or terrible in fuchsia.
"Why am I crying over Alexander Hamilton, Daveed Diggs?" Colbert stole my question.
+Jamie O'Connell god please shut up. Obviously no one who likes this musical is actually crying because of a bunch of old dead white guys who were racists and awful people. LMMs characters are the ones we're crying over; it just sounds hilarious when you say "there's a musical about Alexander Hamilton and I'm crying over it. Don't be so dramatic.
+Jamie O'Connell please shut up. We're crying over LMM's characters, not a bunch of dead white racists. Do you suck the fun out of everything???
+Anneliese Petersmarck yes, yes she does
lol that's it? you're going on a campaign to bash a founding father and the only thing you're going on is that he cheated? That your whole judgement of his character and life is based on the fact that he cheated on his wife over 200 years ago makes you come off as a little naive and bitter my friend. I'm definitely not saying cheating is ok or should be taken lightly, and I"m also not saying that Hamilton was a perfect model human being either, cuz none of those old farts were, but the fact that you're only singling out the fact that he cheated across this whole comment section is ridiculous. There are a bunch of other things you could be criticizing him and the other founding fathers about
+Nicholas Diaz hamilton historically roasted himself
two quotes that explains why Jefferson despises Hamilton.
"dresses like fake royalty"
"the new pits of fashion"'
meanwhile Jefferson wears a purple suit with leggings and holds a swag cane.
swag cane
Uhm eXcUsE me it’s FuChSia
Jk but he does wear an ankle length fuchsia/magenta coat and had two pet grizzly bears
Da swag Cane
The fashion part is to show Jefferson's hypocrisy.
editorcj Jefferson had to act the part even though he spent most of his wealth on fashion and women.
Daveed diggs plays a frenchman who comes to the America, and an American who goes to France
Edit: This is the most amount of likes i have ever gotten thx
Anushil Balaji Ironic
coincidence?
Hhhh@@korehais
The emoji ruined your comment
They were friends irl, they cried when they met for the first time in year after american and french revolutions
Title says Thomas Jefferson planted crops
Hamilton: "Yeah keep ranting we know whos really doing the planting"
Oof
you know that line is actually a reference to both slavery but the hip thrust is a reference to Jefferson's own relations with Sally Hemmings as a double entendre
While he getting high with the French.

Woooosh
Everyone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman!!!!!!!!

I just realized, he helped himself draft a declaration...
Oh... wow... XD
Paige Austin 😂😂😂🤣🤣
i would pay to see him do a one-man show of that
Then he said to himself he gotta go
Well then
“Why am I crying over Alexander Hamilton, Daveed Diggs?”
“Maybe because you haven’t done it 500 times.”
Touché, Diggs... Touché
Best response
That's a fair point
Every theatre kid knows the struggle
mic drop ... your done ... exit stage left sir
I feel like I probably will watch it 500 times now that it's on Disney+ though :P

Hearing Daveed actually speak without a French accent or a snooty slaver accent is definitely a really cool experience
Quintin Roper yep
You should listen to his rap group "clipping." as well, then. It's him and two noise producing dj's. Their videos are unique as Hell too. Usually they are pretty dark and it is full of swear words, just in case you are a sensitive viewer.
@@johnedwardkerr7814 I discovered Daveed through clipping first I love them :)
Didn’t know that snooty slaver accent wasn’t a thing

How did u know?!?! I cried when Burn came up, then I learned almost every single song, even the off broadway ones 😂
When you travel back in time to the revolutionary war but you can’t find Daveed Diggs anywhere
FR LIKE WHERE IS HE
I can’t find Alexander Hamilton in my history books but I got Lafayette😅
Paris Love I’m doing a social studies project and we had to pick 2 founding fathers and Hamilton was on the list and started fangirling
The musical really made me forget that literally every single one of these characters were white
When you travel back in time to the revolutionary war but everyone isn't singing...
me before Hamilton came out on Disney+: What is all the rage about Hamilton??
me after Hamilton came out on Disney+: _will not stop singing the songs and talking about Daveed_
me now: at least i can watch it 32,000 times on my computer, because im broke and live far from where the show will ever be. but for real i really wanna see it in real life instead of just on disney+. after the first time i watched it i fell in love. and when Daveed first walked on stage my heart went boom!
That’s literally me 😭
I saw the line "My Heart Went Boom" so i'm just gonna do this
Trynna catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
Me..2!!!
exactly me
I’m just sad it’s gonna leave Disney+ at the end of July😔

"why am i crying over alexander hamilton?" that's... a really good question that i still haven't figured out the answer to...
+Jamie O'Connell i dont think it's so much of who he was during his life as much as it is the underdog effect.
+Jamie O'Connell is it necessary to reply to every comment? We get it, you hate Alexander
+Jamie O'Connell
Because all he did was remorselessly cheat on his wife, right? He didn't come up a with the American banking system, he didn't lead American soldiers to victory as a general in the battle of Yorktown, he didn't fight against slavery, he didn't feel any remorse for the bad things he did, he had no emotions, and he didn't get Jefferson elected as president. Seriously, why can't you see past the bad things he did and see the other good things he did? I could define Thomas Jefferson as a bad person because he started telling people in Western Pennsylvania to rebel against the Whiskey Tax, I could define Washington as a bad person because he burnt down Indian crops and pretty much helped cause the French and Indian war, or I could define John Adams as a terrible president by his laziness. Are you starting to see the flaws of how you define thus historical figure now? Learn to see the good WITH the bad.
+Jamie O'Connell We are talking about the Broadway Hamilton, not the real one.
We cry for the Broadway Hamilton because he was a flawed human being who stood up for what he believed in. That is the spirit of America that I was sold as a child as history books lied to us about ugly things. We feel betrayed by the truth when we finally find out about it. But on that stage we see a man who fell down in his private life, but always told his truth. He fought and fought and made a difference. He helped make The U.S. real. For all our flaws, at least we have the freedom to make our own mistakes. The American Dream may only be a dream, the U.S. only an experiment in democracy, but we have endured. The unfairness of Hamilton being a footnote in history is being corrected and there is something very moving about that. The only person who needed to forgive him forgave him and worked the rest of her life to tell his story. This play is a love story in so many ways. That's why so many of us cry.

And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment: don't lecture me about the war, you didn't fight in it.
you think i'm frightened of you, man? we almost died in a trench!

That duality must be taxing on him as actor. He’s amazing and I’m on of awe of how he did that! LAFAYETTE!
"I would see it 500 times." Some people don't even get to see it once!!!!!!!!
+Ariel Steinsaltz Everyone will see it before it closes - don't worry about that. Like "Book of Mormon" It's not a star-driven musical - it will be great even after the original cast members have all moved on.
Sparklemotion101 Yes, cause everyone can afford to toss money on Broadway tickets and transportation to New York. And it's not going to be the same without the original cast, especially without Lin-Manuel Miranda, considering that he has the type of character understanding that can only come from writing a character.
+Ariel Steinsaltz 1) It's going to tour widely - no need to come to NY 2) It will be fine without the original cast. If you haven't seen it at all, what good does it do to complain that it won't be the same?
Having seen it twice I can tell you three things:
1) It's a very well-written musical that doesn't depend on any one actor - from what I heard, no one asked for their money back when the flu hit the cast and understudies stepped in. 2) Lin is very good, but of the original cast he's the weakest performer on the stage. 3) The best way to experience Hamilton is live, without expectations, and without having heard any of the songs before.
Next, I'm looking forward to seeing Javier Muñoz as Hamilton - I saw both of them play Usnavi in "In the Heights" and Javier is a stronger performer than Lin. As for casting the other roles, the producers will have their pick of the best performers in the country. This is the biggest hit they've ever had, and they're not going to risk damaging it by casting anyone who is less than perfect.
I'm just PLEASE DONT SEE IT 500 TIMES YOURE RUINING MY CHANCES
ALMOST NOBODY GETS TO SEE IT ONCE
"He gave us Mac and cheese" he really did! But in dairies from people who attended his dinner parties, he would serve it as like the main course and everyone but him hated it, but he kept serving it everywhere until eventually it became an American Classic
not dipper pines that sounds like something he'd do..
Here's some advice: if you want something to be a thing, force it on people until they accept it. No mercy
"You don't want this Mac and cheese? Have more of it."
clearly hes a god among men and his plan worked cause i love mac and cheese
I kept rewatching the video but I keep on missing when he'd said this. Help.
He is so awkwardly adorable and I just love the differences between him, Jefferson, and Lafayette. What a GREAT actor! ❤
“What I miss?”

"Tons" that is an understatement.
Too true. They're doing a few days at the Pantages in Los Angeles, so I looked up what tickets would set me back. The cheapest seats started at $225. Oh and they were already sold out. Goddammit.
It must be a good show.. I recently checked out the Book of Moron because I heard so much stuff about it. I downloaded it on a torrent site just to see what the fuss was all about. I think I watch about 20 minutes of it and thought it was the most racist crock of shit that I have ever seen. What is wrong with these people?
maximusart Mormons aren't a race buddy. Also the Mormon church are actually cool with Book of Mormon because while it's goofy as hell, it's not actually that disrespectful to the source material.

This man better get all the awards. He was brilliant as both characters
This actually seems like a pretty nice interview. The host wasn't over bearing, plus knew about the certain things he was talking about. That's cool.
This guy so genuine and real - he doesn't oversell it or digress from who he is amidst show-business. Glad he's in the performing arts, and obviously Stephen can take him seriously, because he takes himself seriously.
I HAD NO IDEA DAVEED DIGGS WAS IN THIS HOLY FUCK
huge fan of his rap group clipping. and i feel like a fuckup for not noticing his stylings on the soundtrack.
this man is a genius
I only realized that a few weeks ago myself, clipping is so intense I assumed it was just a brand new hard-as-fuck rapper on it and diggs ends up being a super polite actor in his mid 30s, stunned. Everyone please listen to clipping, most exciting rap out there right now
You only really get a hint of his Clipping style in Guns and Ships though. And even that's because Miranda likens it to CLPPNG's intro.
This guy's is in Clipping?? That's awesome I loved their last album clppng
Steven should've had Clipping play the show
I heard about clipping through Hamilton
Thomas: I helped Laffayette draft a declaration
Me: was he talking to himself?

I've seen this thousands of times and I just noticed that Daveed says "We have macaroni and cheese *points to the sky* thank you thomas."
Alyssa Hendry omfg....
How could they use What Did I Miss when there's Guns & Ships?
Also, he is still casted as Lafayette in Guns & Ships. What Did I Miss is the first song of Second Act, in which is now Thomas Jefferson :)
+Kaden Jaeleah I know. I'm just saying Guns & Ships features Diggs' talent better than What Did I Miss.
I LIKE this one.
Plus - for those hearing it for the first time - it's easier to understand all the words and to explain in a sentence for such a short interview.
mechaguess exactly
Jefferson looks so cute in What did I miss tho
I like to think without Lin we wouldn't know about Angelica, Lafayette, Aaron, Mariah, Peggy, Hercules, John, Eliza, and many more awesome forgotten historic figures
Daveed was simply brilliant. He was easily the coolest guy on stage. :)

Lafayette: a French man that loves America
Thomas Jefferson: an American that loves France

But also it’s spelled “Daveed”

Fun fact: Lafayette actually had American soil shipped to France to be buried under.
Is there a Lafayette x Thomas ship?
I need that
I never saw Hamilton and I've been dying to but I can't afford tickets and they're already sold out for the next year.
Could you consider Chicago instead of New York. I am in the mid-west so it doesn't matter to me exactly where I see it so my 2017 show. The other thing to remember is that sites like Vivid mass buy up the tickets so they are really no longer sold out. Take a look at eBay. People are on there selling last minutes tickets on the cheap (comparatively). It' is not cheap anywhere. I think the face value of my last ticket was $177 and it was an "obstructed view" seat!!
Brenda R I live in NY so I didn't even think to go to Chicago to see it. But thank you!
You inspired me not to wait any longer. I just purchased my spring Chicago ticket. The main thing I've learned is that high up is great for this show so I went with the mezzanine. My ticket is $147 + taxes and all but there are lots to balcony seats left in the spring for $87. I'm really looking forward to seeing it again. It's so big, its hard to take in all at once. And I have family in Chicago so aside from a cheap flight, this one won't cost me too dearly either. Take a look at one of the sites if you think you can arrange a cheap flight in and out of the city. That's what I did for one of my NYC shows...in and out the same day for the matinee. It was a busy day, but a fun one.
Awesome!
I live in nj and the cheapest seats in NY are 400ish 😢 if they were @89-150 I would have gone already 😭

those sleeves though!
ikr
At least he actually wears suits unlike a person I know who performed at the White House....
fangirl 118 no i do not know. tell me more.
@@gigi-ux7wb I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but Lin Manuel Miranda (Alexander Hamilton actor) wore jeans at the White House. The Hamilton cast performed for the Obamas, everybody wore suits except Lin
It bothers me a little that he cuts Daveed off when he's explaining instead of letting him finish
A little, but Daveed still gets to speak a lot...
Yeah me too, but I think that's just the way they edit the video.
No one shoukd interrupt Daveed! LOL
"I definitely would see it 500 times"
Take me with you.
What would Alexander Hamilton and everyone else think of this musical is the question
Jasmine They wouldn't like, if you'd ignore what they would think about the portrayal of themselves, they would despise the type of music
Peggy would be mad she barely did crap 🤣
Mulligan and Lafayette would b confused bc they never actually met . Everyone would wonder why they aren’t white 😭 . Jefferson would b against all of it just because “he won”
I mean, all Eliza wanted to do in her last years of life was to preserve her husband's legacy so... I think she'd be a fan
"wait I'm not black-"
"I helped Lafayette draft a declaration."
Isn't Lafayette just you with a hair bun
Psst nobody needs to know
@@_the_ I see what you did there....
Man consulted himself
I had to explain this to my parents the other day, the same thing with Peggy/Maria, John/Philip, and Herc/Madison lol 😂😂😂 they somehow didn't understand that sometimes in shows, actors have to take on more than one role. I had to explain it to my grandma as well
Thomas Jefferson: *is sure he will go down in history as a great and accomplished man*
The whole world in 20th century: *watches a black actor play him, roasts him for missing all the sacrifice and appropriating his slaves' work*
😂😂💀💀
🎶Isn't it ironic..don't cha think 🎶
It’s the 21st century
Yea its the 21st century and he's still one of the most recognizable and enduring symbols of American democracy.
This just showd how braindead the younger kids are
HOW DOES HE DO LAFYETTE'S ACCENT
TEACH ME
Oh, yeah. Thomas Jefferson just hung out in France. That's why they helped us, his sheer presence
*wink* right! because he was a rock star...
He didn't DO anything for Washington (same guy who chose Hamilton? How can that BE??) to pick him for the job. The guy just SKATED through life, right? We owe him NO thanks at all! - History as told by only one side of the coin.
it's almost like he's making a joke.
Lafayette is the reason France helped us, not Jefferson. Jefferson spent 90% of his time drinking with prostitutes.

The whole point of the musical - when you boil it down is: "(who lives, who dies) WHO TELLS YOUR STORY". So....who told THIS story about Jefferson? You minimize a founding father's life by a story and not by his known contributions.
+Mc Kenna I'm not minimizing his life, I'm minimizing his contribution towards France's support of the American Revolution. I think that most of that credit rightfully goes towards Lafayette.
I could listen this man talking for hours
Ana Mimi same-
I have been fortunate enough to see Hamilton twice (touring) and I am going again this weekend but literally no one can compare in that role to Daveed Diggs. The man is charismatic af and steals every scene he is in. So handsome and just so compelling to the point that he might as well be all alone on stage.
Stephen is like giving him a history lesson, like bruh. He’s literally in the play, he knows the lines. He knows what happened..
He's exposititioning for the audience, not Daveed.
You mean the totally inaccurate play?
@@polymathdk1713 *looks at you and nods in agreement*
Wow, I only knew Daveed Diggs as the frontman of Clipping, the best experimental hip-hop band of our time, but this is an interesting contrast. Very multi-talented guy!
I only know of Clipping because of Hamilton. It's an interesting contrast. Very multi-talented guy!
I learned about him from the Bay Boy mixtape by him and Rafael Casal. It has been such a big deal for me that he has done this just because I have been listening to his music for a while. I learned about them both because of an English teacher I had in high school.
He went from Clipping to IMTAKINTHISHORSEBYTHEREIGNSMAKINREDCOATSREDDAWITHBLOODSTAINS
Woah man careful death grips fans are crazy
Christian Montes
Death Grips and Clipping are my kind of hip hop :D
Friendly reminder that TJeff had a pet ram he called "this abominable animal".
Marquis de Lafayette he also had like 32 horses
Dani Meow I LOVE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE OF KERMIT
Rose Eastwood WHO COULD FORGET THE FACT THAT HE PLAYED A VIOLIN DUET WITH THE MOCKINGBIRD
He sprained his wrist trying to impress a girl and his bed was in the doorway between his office and bedroom
ME
Looooved him as both his characters! Daveed is awesome.
i’m sorry but daveed is absolutely adorable 🥺🥺 his little chuckles here and there 😩 i love this human being. and to top it all off.... he’s an amazing performer with really really good music of his own 🤩
AMERICA'S FAVORITE FIGHTING FRENCH MAN

Kaya Richardson *LAFAYETTE*
daveed is such a babe
VoDkA Absolute facts.
"my friend is writing a play and they wanna pay me? yeªh"
i died, wish that was me, sir.
"Lafayettes a smart man, he'll be fine" "Bish I am Lafayette"
Narrator: Lafayette was not fine.
"Why am I crying over Alexander Hamilton, Daveed Diggs?" MY LIFE
yup
Love his hair. I must see that show.
DAVEED DIGGS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST.
I honestly feel for the real Lafayette and all he went through, like legit there needs to be a musical about him if anyone.
