VIDEO: Paul Giamatti Learns Broadway's HAMILTON Is Not Kind to John Adams

Paul Giamatti played John Adams on an HBO miniseries but has not yet seen his alter ego in the hit Broadway musical HAMILTON. On last night's LATE NIGHT, the actor learns that the show is not very kind to the historical figure. "You're kidding me, really? They say that?" questions the actor after hearing some unkind words uttered by Lin-Manuel Miranda's character during the show. Check out the appearance below!

About Hamilton: 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: Alexander Hamilton. 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 lifelong Hamilton friend 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 nomineeThomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down.
