Tina Fey penned a very special tribute to the mega-talented Donald Glover, as part of Glover’s spot on TIME Magazine‘s list of “The 100 Most Influence People.” Fey worked with Glover early in his career, still while the actor/rapper/writer attended New York University. Of all the writers that decided to move on to pursue bigger and better things, Glover was the only one who received the ultimate co-sign from Fey.
“Donald was grateful for the opportunity but felt like he should leave to pursue acting. Of the many writers who have suggested this over the past 20 years, Donald is the only one with whom I’ve ever agreed,” Fey told TIME. “One hundred percent, he should go be a star,” Fey continued. And that’s just what Glover did, excelling at everything he put his hands on (rap, Community, stand-up comedy, Atlanta and more). Tina Fey also praised Glover’s creation of his FX series “Atlanta”, calling both Glover and his show “funny, beautiful, stylish, melancholy and startlingly confident.”
