The big moves for Donald Glover, a.k.a. Childish Gambino, continue to pile up as the multi-talented actor, writer, and musician is about to start work on a new show for NBC with 30 Rock's co-executive producer Matt Hubbard.

TV Guide is reporting that "The new sitcom is being developed as a starring vehicle for Glover. NBC is said to be committed to the project, and is close to sealing a deal for a put pilot (with a large penalty fee if it doesn't move forward) for the show, which would be loosely based on Glover's life."

With everything going on in Glover's life, especially as his rap career continues to reach new heights on the heels of his first VMA nomination last week, I'm pretty sure a show surrounding his life would be quite entertaining (and most certainly hilarious). The report also adds that this new sitcom won't affect Community, whose fourth and final season begins October 19th. Congrats Donald! I feel a GIF right now would be rather appropriate...
