On last night's TONIGHT SHOW, guest Riz Ahmed, rapper and star of "Rogue One: A StarWars Story" was given three random words he had never seen before and had to work them into a freestyle rap. Ahmed (aka Riz MC) is now featured in the recently released "The Hamilton Mixtape", performing "Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)" along with K'naan, Snow Tha Product and Residente.

Later, the actor talks about his new film "Rogue One" and explains how he thought he had blown his audition for the movie.

"The Hamilton Mixtape" features a collection of remixes, covers, and tracks inspired by the multi-Tony Award winning Broadway musical. Among the artists featured on the recording are Sia, Usher, Chance the Rapper, Busta Rhymes, Ben Folds, Kelly Clarkson, Regina Spektor, and Queen Latifah.
