2. Lin-Manuel Miranda
Set six years after Season 8, Season 9 begins with Larry finishing a script for a new musical based on Salman Rushdie’s life, called ‘Fatwa!’.
However, when he goes on Jimmy Kimmel and does an impression of the ayatollah (former supreme leader of Iran who issued a Fatwa ordering Muslims to kill Rushdie), the actual ayatollah is angered and places the same order on Larry.
Later in the season however, he makes up with the ayatollah, who gives him permission to run the musical, so long as the lead role is played by the one and only Broadway star and creator of ‘Hamilton’, Lin-Manuel Miranda. But their relationship gets off to a rocky start, when he essentially tells Larry he plans to rewrite most of the songs…
Beginning with a physical struggle over a desk chair and ending with a paintball duel that sends Lin-Manuel to the emergency room, theirs is a rivalry like no other. In the end, Larry’s musical gets cancelled and Lin-Manuel is left incapacitated for 6 months.
