Substitute Teacher - SNL

A substitute teacher's (Lin-Manuel Miranda) attempt to connect with his students (Kenan Thompson, Mikey Day, Sasheer Zamata, Pete Davidson, Melissa Villaseñor) through hip-hop fails miserably.

Considering Lin actually was an English teacher at one point, I have to wonder if this is what his class was actually like.

"You're about to open your laptop and perform a rap version of Ham-"
me: "hAMILTON?"
"-let"
me: "oh."

"We just want a normal math class" 2 minutes later "this is an AP English class..."

Lin-Manuel Miranda seems personally offended by the students comments

[TastyGamingQc]

Student: wow you already recorded it...

Teacher: No.
*Dying inside*

This gets so much funnier when you realize that Lin actually was a substitute teacher.

Damn, every SNL skit that involves a classroom, you KNOW Pete Davidson is gonna be sitting in one of the desks.

[dultwthjb]

Yeah, I expected him to say "the greatest rapper is really Alexander Hamilton".

[mattj]

"are you trying to touch a student!?"
"I'M TRYING TO TOUCH ALL OF THESE STUDENTS"
LMAO

[brh]

“ArE yOU tryInG tO tOUcH a StuDeNT”
“IM TRYING TO TOUCH ALL THESE STUDENTS!”
“...”
“wait”👁👄👁

SNL is so good when they bring in people used to live performances. Lin didn’t crack at all XD

[sarcastic]

as I've always said, where's there Lin Manual Miranda,
*there's Hamilton fans*

[audreyquinn]

"maybe you don't want anyone to know you can't read."
"you think she can't read?? this is an AP English class!"

[kaydeea.]

Went to Hollywood. Failed hard.
Went to Broadway. Won big time.

Lin is an actual genius and I can’t say how much respect I have for him





But I cringed so hard when he said ‘dope beats’

[nateexists]

3:29 "This is an AP English Class"
2:08 "I would love, like, just a quiet math class"
Wait, is this English or Math? I am so confused
Edit: Thank you to Nightstorm for pointing out to me in the replies that there's a globe on his desk. THIS COULD BE A GEOGRAPHY CLASS! Congratulations Night, you're a genius. I genuinely applaud you.

Lin's hair is this messy wavy floofy shit and I love it so much.
