Last night, Jimmy Fallon visited Puerto Rico in a special "Tonight Show" episode, which featured Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Hamilton Puerto Rico cast, Chef José Andrés, music from Bad Bunny and José Feliciano and Ozuna, plus a crazy zip line ride with Jimmy, Black Thought and Questlove.

During the episode, Jimmy interviews Miranda on the set of "Hamilton" in Puerto Rico, where they discuss Lin reviving his role as Alexander Hamilton, his love for Puerto Rico and his role in the island's hurricane relief efforts.
