In some holy Friday news, Lin-Manuel Miranda just made his guest appearance on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. And, according to the fans, he aced it – not that we’re surprised.

Miranda starred as Amy Santiago‘s (Melissa Fumero) brother and chief rival, David Santiago, in an episode titled Golden Child.
On Twitter, Miranda said the entire experience was a “dream come true.”
“I’ve been a fan of this show since season one. I kind of feel like I won a contest and they’re putting this on for me and it’s never actually going to air. It was just sort of for my benefit and if that’s all it is, I really appreciate it.”
For real though #Brooklyn99

Last year, when FOX decided to cancel Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Miranda was a prominent voice in the campaign to have the show renewed elsewhere.
RENEW BROOKLYN NINE NINE
I ONLY WATCH LIKE 4 THINGS
THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS#RenewB99— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) May 10, 2018
Yes, Miranda’s Twitter profile picture is of himself and Fumero. That’s how much he loves the show.
Anywho, after last week’s emotional and intense episode – He Said, She Said – inspired by the #MeToo movement, this week’s is said to have been a big ol’ goofy laugh.
Dear @Lin_Manuel,
You killed it on Brooklyn nine nine. You’re acting was amazing and absolutely YOU.
Please do more comedies.
Sincerely,
Everyone. #BrookLIN99 #Brooklyn99 #BrooklynNineNine

I LOVED #BrooklynNineNine with @Lin_Manuel. Lin was very believable as the handsome overachiever. ❤️😍 A+++ (And bonus, this episode was my boyfriend’s introduction to Brooklyn Nine-Nine and he liked it, so maybe I can convince him to watch more!)

I’d just like to mention that THE MOMENT I saw @Lin_Manuel on Brooklyn Nine Nine, I screeched in what appears to be a very unhealthy way

Miranda also shared some quality pics from his time on set, including this one.

And these.
My time w @thelonelyisland was basically us playing each other increasingly obscure 90’s hip-hop for three days straight. Heaven. #Brooklyn99 pic.twitter.com/3xwJ1MvY5U

Ahead of the episode’s premiere, Fumero posted a sweet picture of her on-screen brother. She teased, “A lot about Amy’s personality will make more sense after tonight’s episode.”
Simply perfect casting.
If you haven’t watched Golden Child yet then do not – we repeat, DO NOT – go to Miranda’s Twitter page. It is chockablock full of spoilers.
You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine season six on SBS On Demand.
