VIDEO: HAMILTON's Christopher Jackson Chats With NEW YORK LIVE About Handling The Off-Stage Excitement

It seems you can't turn on the television or log on to the Internet these days without seeing a cast member from Lin-Manuel Miranda's HAMILTON being featured.

It was two months ago when GOOD DAY NY hosts Greg Kelly and Rosanna Scotto embarrassingly greeted guest Christopher Jackson, who plays George Washington in the smash hit, wearing colonial garb and tried impressing him with their rap skills. (click here for the full story), but this week the one-dollar founding father received a more fitting welcome from NEW YORK LIVE hosts Sara Gore and Jacque Reid.

Jackson tells a fun story of how he found out who he would be playing in HAMILTON, and offers insight as to how the cast handles all the excitement and buzz surrounding the show when it comes down to giving eight performances a week.

From the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning In The Heights comes a wildly inventive new musical about the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: AlexanderHamilton. Tony and Grammy Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda wields his pen and takes the stage as the unlikely founding father determined to make his mark on a new nation as hungry and ambitious as he is.

From bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy, Hamilton is an exploration of a political mastermind. George Washington,Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and lifelongHamiltonfriend and foe,Aaron Burr, all attend this revolutionary tale of America's fiery past told through the sounds of the ever-changing nation we've become. Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down.
