Busy doing the rounds promoting Mary Poppins Returns, Lin-Manuel Miranda found time to stop by Jimmy Fallon’s late-night show.
Not only did the Hamilton creator partake in the normal interview, but Miranda performed a medley of 2018 songs, re-configured to include festive lyrics.
Joined by Fallon, the two first tackled Camila Cabello’s “Havana”, changing the lyrics to “Mall Santa, ho ho ho”.
The duo then transitioned into their take on Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You”, singing: “Too much food / Scarfed down a full turkey / And a whole fruitcake, too / Feels like I’m gonna spew.”
Next up, a rendition of Migos’s ”Stir Fry” with the words changed to: “In the kitchen, sip sippin up the egg nog (sip it).”
Other songs tackled included “No Tears Left to Cry” by Ariana Grande (”Right now I’m getting drunk on wine / I’m Christmas shopping on Amazon / Oh, what the hell did I buy? / I’m sobering up, I’m sobering up”) and Ed Sheeran’s ”Perfect” (Baby, I / Got your Christmas card, your family Christmas card / With updates from your year, the letter is 20 pages long).
Watch the full performance below.
Meanwhile, the reviews for Mary Poppins Returns have been published, with the majority giving the sequel a positive review. Read our round-up here.
