Donald and Stephen Glover were also credited with helping iron out the script for "get out".

It's not "alleged", Mr. Jackson's autopsy -- BOTH of them -- made it clear that he suffered from #vitiligo; it's also apparent if one looks closer at images of him throughout his career -- such as his hands in "Black or White" and his chest in "They Don't Really Care About Us". Imagine having the expectation of constant perfection, world famous, but suffering from a little known and incurable skin ailment (that's made worse by stress)? NOW we see models openly displaying the condition, and Michael Jackson had a lot to do with increasing people's awareness of it. He deserves credit for that AND being a pioneer in AfroFuturism or Science-Fiction (Captain Eo, "Scream" with Janet Jackson)

You have the correct handle, but the incorrect information -- after literally millions of tax payer dollars were paid, hundreds of children were interviewed, multiple Jackson homes were raided (including his parents), not a scrap of evidence was uncovered. On the other hand, the people making the accusations had histories of unscrupulous behavior and lawsuits.

You had to know that at the Emmy's that the person who was playing Teddy Perkins was not Donald Glover from the start even before we finally saw them together with each other . The Emmy Teddy was taller than Donald and his facual structure was totally different where Donald when he was Teddy, his face was rounder, and the Emmy Teddy, his face was longer and thinner along the cheek bones, so you knew Teddy was played by 2 different people... but Donald did a wonder job portraying the character. Just as whoever played him at the Emmy's did a great job. I noticed also that the Emmy Teddy Perkins, made the most of the camera's that were taking shots of celebrities, this Teddy got into a lot of shots with some Emmy winners and got the character face time in important shots. So whoever was playing him knew the importance of working a room and being seen at just the right place with just the right celebrities. So alot of talk was generated from that Emmy show and it was played perfectly for publicity and to get people paying attention and talking.....It was planned and executed smartly....

The Teddy Perkins at the award show is a direct nod to Andy Kaufman and Tony Clifton.

Teddy Perkins on EMMY Awards-2017 IS a MJ, who STILL ALIVE, and TP in Atlanta represents MJ!!! Director says that himself!!! MJ is STILL ALIVE on 💯%!!!!

Teddy could have kept that piano from the first hello. I don't need it ! Lol

The Episode was a masterpiece

He looks like Pall Bearer and Courtney Love had a baby together. "That guy looks like he could break a babies arm and smile while he did it." If I may quote Steven King. It's like he's an evil cartoon villain come to life

Glover & Perkins were photographed together. Its Michael

What was the song at the end of the episode

Teddy is Michael Jackson even in character,u still can't hide yourself. Long live Mike

My favourite ep was when Paper Boi got lost in the woods behind the 711 and saw a ghost 👌

Donald Glover is one of the truest artists working in the entertainment industry right now. Teddy Perkins is an idea. This is the reason they did not attribute the character to anyone, and the reason the character appeared separate from Glover at the ceremony.
