Donald Glover to host 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend.

Also known by his stage-name 'Childish Gambino', the rapper / actor / writer / producer / comedian will take the reins for a memorable show.

You may known of Donald Glover for one title or at least three. But on the 5th of May, he'll do the honours of not only hosting the famous 'Saturday Night Live' show aired on NBC at 11:30 EST (00:30 GMT) - he'll also be appearing as the musical act as Childish Gambino.

Having last released an album in December of 2016 titled 'Awaken, My Love!', Glover has stated that he plans to focus more on his career as an actor and producer now. He appeared in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' in 2017 and will next be on-screen under the role of Lando Calrissian in 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' in 2018.

He became known for his writing from '30 Rock' from 2006 to 2012, released his first studio album 'Camp' in 2011 and is also widely known for his role of Troy Barnes in 'Community' from 2009 until 2014.

The list of host-slash-musicians is relativity small with other names including Britney Spears, Ariana Grande and Drake. His fans await the episode with great delight.
