Donald Glover Brings His Childish Gambino Project to SNL and Absolutely Slays

“Black man, Black man. GET DOWN”#ThisIsAmerica It’s like Kanye was supposed to be our musical Anakin Skywalker, but now Childish Gambino/Luke Skywalker (The New Hope) has filled the seat meant for the “father”.

There are also the inevitable comparisons to Kanye West, who might be a musical genius but is coming under fire for his seeming unthinking support of Trump and ignorance of the ways in which marginalised groups are suffering.

Donald Glover likes to keep busy. So who is kicking SNL off tonight? In a sketch calling out Hollywood for the lack of black characters in Star Wars movies, Glover appeared as his upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story character, a young Lando Calrissian.

Glover, Kenan Thompson, and Chris Redd all debuted the definitive Migos impression that we didn’t know we needed in “Friendos”.

Might Saturday Night Live be live from NY tonight, or is NBC going to air a rerun?

Childish Gambino is seen in the video pulling out a gun and shooting someone with their head covered.

The “Atlanta” creator and star began his Saturday night by hosting late-night sketch comedy show, “SNL”. Introduced by Zoe Kravitz, Gambino performed a new song as tropical and summery as his last album, Awaken!

Glover is taking over the role of Lando from Billy Dee Williams, showing how the fan-favorite starship the Millennium Falcon happened to change hands and come under ownership of that scruffy lookin’ nerf herder Han Solo.

Glover is expected to release a new album in 2018, and it could very well be his last. Glover is no stranger to NBC having starred in Community and written for 30 Rock, but he also auditioned for SNL a couple times. The two often collaborate on Glover’s hit FX series, “Atlanta,” now in its second season.
