  • Donald talking about community makes me so happy, and he basically confirmed he's doing the movie
  • @al201103
    Whoever edited this, and whoever okayed the edit - thank you for giving him the time he needed to say what he wanted to say. EXCELLENT video.
  • @7timez4mycity
    “Time is valuable, I should be around oranges.” 😂 Very true statement.
  • @skerpies
    I think this is actually the first time he has confirmed for real that he's doing the community movie. He's never been more definitive than that.
  • We don't always get a Donald Glover interview but I always cherish it when one drops because he's easily one of the most talented, dynamic, and inspiring minds of our generation.
  • Community is probably the only show I've watched that has made me genuinely and consistently laugh out loud, it's amazing.
  • @alextorres7655
    I love the way he goes on seemingly random tangents that end up being relevant metaphors for the things he's trying to explain.
  • @thelearner55
    It's crazy how this man is actually 2 different people. He's equally good at both careers as a musical artist(Childish Gambino) and actor/director/producer(Donald Glover).
  • @coopieself
    His explanation of why Atlanta s3 feels weird is actually genius and makes me appreciate it so much more
  • @FreshGirl3000
    Ludwig Göransson is really the unsung hero of great scores and music. I fell in love with him through Mandalorian, then seeing what else he all did... I was baffled. And honestly everybody that collabs with Donald Glover is a more or less secret genius in some way.
  • @javierav8930
    “If you’re living for other people you’re going to end up being sad” truer words have never been spoken
  • @c.w.3103
    I love the way he thinks and articulates his thoughts. “Culture is a compression of information” and “the internet robs moments” are such simple sentences but they explain a lot
  • @Jsalcedo23
    It makes me happy that Donald and Danny just casually go out for dinner years after the show ended
  • @ovinophile
    What a great interview. I’m glad they let him talk at such length in each part. I’ve really only seen him on Community so it was really interesting to get to know him better.
  • @saintc7790
    Bro. I can’t believe Allison Brie is who made the Ludwig/Donald connection. She deserves a LOT of gratitude for that. That’s incredible!
  • @QuanTV
    3:01 Donald is so immersed with his characters that he said... "Me and A(bed)...Me and Danny (Pudi)..." 😂
  • @JemibookSews
    I could just keep watching and listening to him talk for so long, there are so very few people with such a great fluid stream of consciousness that actually want to make you pay attention, listen, and learn more. This man is such a treasure.
