鈥淛anet Louise Yellen鈥� rolls off the tongue just as easily as 鈥淎lexander Hamilton鈥� when it鈥檚 set to the same music as Lin-Manuel Miranda鈥檚 title song in his Tony and Pulitzer Prize鈥搘inning musical. Check it out above in a clip from The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that aired December 2.
Earlier this week, President-elect Joseph R. Biden, Jr. nominated Yellen and suggested that Miranda should write another musical about the barrier-breaking financial leader. The late-night writers gave him a head start with this new take on a modern-day public figure.
Musical and history fans know Hamilton himself served as America鈥檚 first Secretary of the Treasury from 1789鈥�1795. Yellen, 鈥渁 math nerd, author, economic scholar,鈥� graduated summa cum laude at Brown University and follows Keynesian principles of economics.
