“It was a diversity thing,” said Glover, also known by his rapper moniker Childish Gambino.

Donald Glover claims Tina Fey told him that he was only hired as a writer on “30 Rock” thanks to NBC’s diversity initiative.

While he brought his own ideas to the table, Glover says the network introduced a diversity incentive at the time that allowed shows to hire black writers without it reflecting the budget.. “There is no animosity between us or anything like that, but [Tina Fey] said it herself.” “I used to have stress dreams every night where I was doing cartwheels on the top of a New York skyscraper with the other writers watching me.”
