I wanna see Donald again. I worked with him way back in 2009 (mystery team), during which I found out my best friend/the man who raised me (my gramps) had cancer and dementia. After finishing my work on set, I took a moment to myself outside, and had a little cry over the situation. I didn’t know Donald saw me. He then spent almost an hour at the claw game in the bowling alley we were filming at, won a stuffed fish, and gave it to me, saying “just thought you could use some cheering up”. Sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.
I love seeing Donald a little more cheery lately. There was a period that began from his album, Because the Internet and the second season of Atlanta where he seemed super low energy and had a very unenthused demeanor about him. I love his comedy and his dorkiness so seeing him sorta back in that element is nice.
@@CR-dq1ch Man honestly I feel like people just change. Glover is super talented but he's a person just like the rest of us, and we're all in different places at different points in our lives. I think the variance in his personality is just his honesty
Donald is looking like he's in a really good place. Ngl, after S02 of Atlanta and him saying it was his last tour as Gambino, I was sort of worried he was burned out and done. He looked worn in talk shows. Or weary. Like he wasn't about the life. Now he looks like the Glover we know and love. Not that he has to be somebody for us, but I just think he looks like he's in a good place.
I feel that too. It’s like he’s just at Peace on a deeper level. He stepped out the matrix but he been did that and now he’s just focused on family and quality content. We all get burned out so I’m glad he peeled back to take care of himself
I think this statement is crazy because you don’t know him. this is all speculation on your part just to fill in the air because you love a person you don’t even know.
@D_ans depends what you’re into. There are a lot of layers to the show and commentary spread throughout. I think I could’ve written a whole thesis on season 2. The theme of s2 was “Robbin’ season” and each episode carried that notion of being robbed, but not just in typical way. One episode was about how someone’s childhood was robbed. There’s a lot of matter of fact aspects for the show but also a lot of surreal and abstract pieces interwoven. And the humor sprinkled throughout is great. But ultimately I think this is a very profound show. I think s2 really let the show shine even more, and s3 is so far carrying on the same trend.
Who knew someone from Community would turn into a cultural icon? Love this dude. So much vision, so much creativity, originality and freedom. Props to FX for approving all this also.
I saw Him at Osheaga in Montreal in 2019. Honestly, I had high expectations but that hour and a half performance was truly spectacular. It was hands down the greatest show I'd ever scene. Absolutely legendary.
Been watching Donald since his TH-cam days on Derrick Comedy in like the mid 2000s and it still makes me extremely happy to see how much success he’s seen
Dude, just seems so likeable and chill. It was cool you could tell he had no interest on weighing in on the Smith/Rock situation. I'm glad we're going to get more of him as Lando in the near future.
It always seems like the wrong people get fame they don’t deserve. But Donald Glover absolutely deserves it! He’s such a Swiss knife of a human being. Just like Jamie Foxx etc.
You can tell Donald struggles with Hollywood just by the look on his face when Jimmy said he's like Will Smith and Chris Rock combined. Just that face of "that's not something I wanted to hear"
@@AW-rz2jn he made it seem like a good man like Donald. Would be like will smith an evil man just kuz he’s blk right? Jimmy is definitely mean. He knew better than that. He knew Donald wouldn’t like it. Yet he said it anyway
@@TK-ow1fm best way I could explain it is a bunch of stand alone episodes that kinda have an overarching plot that takes place in Atlanta or is from the perspective of people from Atlanta. Some episodes go off the main plot and tell other stories and it can be strange and surreal
I'm so glad to see him to be relaxed and in a good mental state. Can't wait to see the new season of Atlanta. The man is soooo talented. AND he definitely rocks a shaved head🔥
And as a teacher “If you keep everything at a 2 when you get to a 10..” should be something we have posted in the copy room. Because it is absolute magic once you master it. That 10 makes them sit straight up.
@@tisdue Donald raps, sings, makes movies/shows, writes, and produces and is highly successful in each category, Jamie a legend but I think he's been surpassed
Now that he's done with Atlanta I really hope Marvel bring him back to be the prowler at some point in the future, would love to see what he'd do in that role.
"Yeah, we're all sick of reading about the Oscars already.". Jimmy, minutes later: "You're like Will Smith and Chris Rock combined". Really? No other example sprung to mind? By the way, without wanting to take anything away from anybody, the Glover is by faaar the superior musician.
The level of PEACE he’s radiating IS BEAUTIFULLY GODLY and Reassuring Literally Love that for him and all those who show up in their natural identity May God continue to cover and Bless him and his family in Jesus Mighty Name Also love how simple and hilarious he is. Those are my type of people.
Glover is an amazing artist. It's crazy that he can make music like 3.15.20 and create and act in great TV shows. Such talent. I didn't even know he was a comedian too.
Such an uber talented dude, and it’s always fun to hear him interviewed. Love that Jimmy snuck in a Lando question too!! I’m really crossing my fingers that that project moves forward soon.
Donald is like Tyler to me. I followed both of their careers when no one hardly knew or recognized them, to see them blossom and expand their careers is AMAZING ❤
Man, this makes me want to see what his stand up routine would be like today, the higher pitched voice he uses during these talk show brings me back to middle school, watching community and discovering his old skits with derrick comedy
@@chungusmaximus526 exactly. Very few actors and actresses can match their chemistry. Those roles were made for them. Honestly i felt so sad when i heard he was leaving.

The only Donald I want to continue seeing on my tv!
6 Seasons and a Movie!!!😁
I was waiting for someone to do this!
I get the reference, it was not the same after Chevy Chase and Donald Glover left. I feel like 12 seasons and a movie would be dope for real.
I remember watching him when all he had was his TH-cam channel. Probably the most "blossomed" TH-cam content creator ever.
He dips and comes back when we need him most... just like the avatar
and with that head… 👀
The most talented man in Hollywood 👏
He should leave hwood

Done? Is season three the last one?
@@tubewanderer5721 nah, season 4 is the last one, and they’ve already shot it, so we won’t have to wait years like we had to for this season.
