One of the first to take part in the #Ham4All challenge was TV writer and producer Shonda Rhimes — best known for creating the likes of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder.

“Lin, this is hard,” she proclaimed as she tried to rap an incredibly quick line from Washington On Your Side.
Ben Stiller posted next, joined by his daughter Ella — who kills it as Hamilton himself.

The cast of the upcoming film The Beguiled also submitted their music video for the Schuyler Sisters, with appearances from Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell and director Sofia Coppola. It must be noted, too, that The Beguiled was released at Cannes before this challenge and it’s safe to assume they made this with no incentive while filming.
Does this count?
We shot this on the set of #TheBeguiled. I challenge @TheEllenShow! Donate & support now: https://t.co/1iaAnaPQWW #Ham4All pic.twitter.com/9EZvnThGlV — Emma Howard (@emma_howard13) June 28, 2017
Orphan Black actress Tatiana Maslany did what she did best: playing multiple roles with ease. She accepted a tag by comedian Ben Schwartz.
