Watch Amy Schumer Pitch Her 'Hamilton'-Inspired Musical to Lin-Manuel Miranda
Hamilton is one of the biggest musicals to rule pop culture (good luck trying to get a ticket), and Amy Schumer has decided to get in on the action—well, kind of. Ahead of the fourth season premiere of Inside Amy Schumer on April 21, the comedienne pitched her own Hamilton-influenced show.
In the LOL-filled Comedy Central sketch, Schumer explains her "Betsy Ross" hip-hopera idea to the musical's creator Lin-Manuel Miranda. Unfortunately, he is not at all impressed as she performs tunes inspired by Rihanna, Nelly, Drake and Taylor Swift. The Roots' Questlove, who seems to be completely over it, also makes an appearance.
