From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

Multi-hyphenate David Diggs has a lot going on,

including writing and producing his new series on Stars, Blind Spotting.

As for that big Broadway hit that launched his career,

at this point, he has a slightly uneasy relationship with a version of himself

that won a Tony and a Grammy for his

portrayal of Lafayette and Jefferson. That, Davy, Diggs, that everybody fell in love with in that show

does not exist anywhere, but on that stage. I guess he exists on the audio recording, too. In the

movie? And the movie now. Yeah. See, this is the thing. That dude is everywhere.

Diggs tells us about his post-Hamilton self and shares why he and co-creator Rafael Casal

actually had no interest in turning their movie blind spotting into a TV show.

And he addresses allegations of colorism in the movie version of Lynn Manuel Miranda's in the Heights.

But first on the news banter, Olympics torched, stick around.

It's the business from KCRW.

emergency. I don't want to minimize anything about the health problems and the serious problems

of the people of Japan. But from a business point of view, this is really bad for NBC Universal
