Recently, Donald Glover made an appearance at the Writers Guild Awards in New York this past Sunday. While speaking at the event to present an award to producer Paul Simms, Glover mentioned past issues with Chevy Chase, the 79-year-old actor he worked with on ‘Community.’
In the past, Glover accused the ‘National Lampoon’ actor of using the n-word on the show's set. During the presentation of the award to Simms, Glover said, “This award was named after Herb Sargent, a writer who worked on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and came up with ‘Weekend Update’ with Chevy Chase. Chevy Chase once called Herb one of the funniest writers working in television. And Chevy Chase once called me . . . you know, this is about Paul.”
Another story related to Glover’s mention of Chase found him speaking about meeting Simms while on the set of Lena Dunham’s HBO series ‘Girls.’ “I was on the set of ‘Girls’ after filming a sex scene for like eight hours — which they cut down to two minutes. I’ve never seen the rest of the footage,” said the ‘Atlanta’ creator.
Glover continued, "Afterwards, I asked Lena [Dunham], ‘Yo, what made you decide to work with Paul?’ And she goes ‘Honestly, this n***a lets me do whatever I want.’ I remember thinking two things: One, Lena is using the N-word extremely liberally. Who does she think she is, Chevy Chase? And two, that’s the kind of producer I want.” Watch above.
