In anticipation of the release of his new album “Bando Stone & the New World,” Donald Glover sat down with Sean Evans on this week’s episode of “Hot Ones” to enjoy a platter of increasingly spicy chicken wings.
The “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” star spoke about his stage name Childish Gambino and why he decided to retire the moniker for good: “A collaborator of mine, fam and I, we talked about the death of Superman a lot . . . I always knew Childish Gambino was like a character and on some level I wanted it to end. I almost feel like Childish Gambino is like the boss from ‘The Office,’ like, ‘That stuff worked 10 years ago.’ All that stuff worked, but now it’s like a different thing. It’s like, ‘Oh it’s a little sad, but it’s like, wow, the cycle kinda continues, which is great, I think.’”
