This was Lin-Manuel Miranda's favorite part of the 'Hamilton' documentary

When you've won Tonys and Grammys and Pulitzer Prizes, what experiences are left to shock and amaze you? Interviewing the President of the United States, for one.

In Hamilton's America, a documentary that aired on PBS Friday chronicling both the hit Broadway musical and Alexander Hamilton himself, Miranda is more than just the subject: He's also a part-time interviewer. Director Alex Horwitz, who was Miranda's college roommate, did most of the interviews for the film, which features a wide range of talking heads from Speaker Paul Ryan to Jimmy Fallon to Hamilton biography author Ron Chernow. But for three of the biggest names, Miranda pinch hit.

"The fun for me, honestly, getting back to talking about those three different circles -- the politics, hip-hop and musical theater -- was that I got to conduct three interviews," Miranda told USA TODAY in a recent phone interview. "The ones I got to conduct were Sondheim and John Weidman from musical theater land, Nas in the hip-hop realm and the President of the United States."

'Hamilton's America' weaves history and music

Even for a star like Miranda, that's a pretty incredible experience.

"Those are all really surreal days for me, to get to sit and talk with those guys about their respective crafts," he explained. "To talk to the President about what it’s like to be in 'the room where it happens.' To talk to Nas about what it’s like to really be in like a (expletive) rap beef. ... And then talking wrestling history to the stage with Weidman and Sondheim, who are two heroes of mine."

Miranda also explained that the documentary, which is now streaming at PBS.org, and also the book Hamilton: The Revolution are just "gravy" on top of the show itself.

"The book and getting to discuss what went into lyrics and sort of the craft of putting it together, the movie which allows a ton of perspective on the show and the history -- it’s all been sort of extra blessings," Miranda said. "Do I think there’s a Hamilton 2: Burr’s Revenge? No I don’t think so. I’m good."
