As the federal government struggles to provide relief aid for hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, THE DAILY SHOW host Trevor Noah reminds viewers everything the island has done for the rest of the U.S. "Don't think of it as a donation, think of it as paying back for everything they've given us," he says, citing such examples as the summer hit "Despacito," Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Jennifer Lopez." He goes on to explain, "If you're a fan of HAMILTON, give a dollar!" Watch the clip below!

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow's BIOGRAPHY of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

HAMILTON is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation's first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, as told by America now.
