Donald Glover and Jordan Howlett's comedy skit

Donald Glover, better known as Childish Gambino, is a comedian, actor, writer, producer, and musician. He has been praised for his performances in Community, Atlanta, 30 Rock, and more.

Jordan Howlett, on the other hand, regularly goes viral online and is known for his humor, reaction videos, and friendly personality. His resemblance to Glover has often become a topic of discussion among fans and the duo recently decided to address the same.

In the viral clip, fans see their playful banter quickly escalate as they argue over their outfits when they realize they have worn the same thing.

"I'm not doing this Donald, because everybody knows I wear eggshell and black on Saturdays. Why are you wearing the same thing?" Jordan Howlett protests.

Glover responds:

"I've worn ivory and navy for the past 10 years. Every Saturday. Everyone in New York knows it."

Jordan then expresses his frustration and says that he has a hard time getting people to know his name.

"People keep mistaking me for the Method Man look-alike, Grown-ish Gambino," he says.

The discussion takes a humorous turn when Donald Glover mentions how people often ask him for cooking recipes.

"Every time I step out of my house, somebody's like, 'Hey, what's a recipe for cantaloupe bagels or a croissant with extra chocolate chips?' he says.

Finally, they both agree that the one with the "best fashion sense" should keep the outfit, and the other should change. This is when they begin taking jabs at each other's looks for the recent BET Awards. Donald Glover notes that Howlett wore jeans to the event, and the latter replies:

"Oh, oh, oh, okay. I didn't wear a mesh shirt with open-toed sandals. Okay? That was you."

The duo then agrees that "cultures were clashed" and "mistakes were made" and decides what to wear next. They agree to say what they wish to change into on the count of three. However, they both declare in unison, "Turtleneck" as the clip comes to an end.


Donald Glover recently made headlines after he shared the trailer for Bando Stone & the New World. He also released his new Childish Gambino song LITHONIA, which played over the clip.
