Jack Black, Anthony Anderson, Carrie Underwood and Mary J. Blige are also part of the Walk of Fame's class of 2018. So are business magnate Richard Branson and Steve Jones, the former Sex Pistols member turned radio host.

Anyone can nominate a celebrity for Walk of Fame star consideration.

"Hamilton" creator Miranda celebrated the news on Twitter, pointing out that he was actually with a fellow recipient when he first heard.
