Two of the most massive pop-cultural phenomena in recent years, Hamilton and Twenty One Pilots, will collide on next week's episode of Saturday Night Live. Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda will host, while the genre-jumping Ohio duo will supply their teen-beloved theatrics as musical guests. Please note that we're talking about the 10/8 episode; as previously reported, this Saturday's season premiere features Margot Robbie and the Weeknd.

Kinda surprising that they didn't make Miranda the musical guest too, right? Though I guess he wouldn't be bringing the cast of Hamilton along with him, and nobody wants to hear his crappy song with Jennifer Lopez, even if it was for a good cause.
