00:00 I tell y'all, he's looking like he just stepped out of a magazine.

00:03 This is my boomerang look.

00:05 Oh yeah.

00:06 I want to be Eddie.

00:07 Honey, you are looking fly.

00:09 Thank you.

00:10 And Mr. Smith is pretty fly too.

00:12 He's not bad.

00:13 The fashion is on point.

00:14 His skiing may not be on point.

00:16 It's not, but his turtleneck season is, yes, very good.

00:20 Very strong.

00:21 Very strong.

00:22 How are you?

00:23 I'm doing great. I'm Rachel by the way.

00:24 I'm Donald.

00:25 I've never met you in the flesh, but such a fan of your work.

00:27 Oh, thank you.

00:28 And you and your partner are so adorable.

00:31 Were you making a statement out there just a second ago on the carpet?

00:34 No, I just love her.

00:35 I don't know.

00:36 I just love her.

00:37 I was wondering, because she was like, "Stop it. Stop it."

00:39 She was like, "What are you doing?"

00:40 I like to embarrass her.

00:42 You can see it in the movie.

00:43 Mission accomplished.

00:44 Mission accomplished.

00:45 And speaking of missions, you had the mission as a co-creator.

00:48 You're serving up Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

00:49 Now, this is a title we've seen in 2005 with the film.

00:52 As a co-creator, how did you want to shake things up, differentiate it from the film version?

00:56 I'm not a big fan of remakes, so this was kind of a big deal to kind of take it.

01:01 Once I saw the original, I was like, "Oh, there's a good date movie."

01:04 I was like, "Maybe I can make a good date show out of it."

01:07 Something me and my wife could watch together.

01:10 So I just wanted to make a good movie.

01:12 Well, you accomplished that mission of doing something different, giving us something fun to watch.

01:17 Did you reach out to Brad and Angie at all?

01:19 I reached out to Brad.

01:21 Did you?

01:22 What did Brad have to say?

01:23 He just Brad-bitted his way out of it.

01:25 I was like, "I just need some tips."

01:27 He just charmed his way out of it.

01:29 He was like, "You'll do great, kid," kind of thing.

01:31 Really?

01:32 Yeah.

01:33 That was pretty much it.

01:34 He was very sweet and nice.

01:36 I was very helpful.

01:38 I just wanted to get a good understanding of, "Is there anything I need, any pitfalls, any idea that I might need help with?"

01:46 It was great. He gave me good advice.

01:49 You put your Donald Glover spin on it.

01:51 Yeah, that's pretty much it.

01:52 I love the foundation of it talks a lot about the arranged marriage, the awkwardness of the beginning of a relationship.

01:58 How much of your real-life relationship influenced the characters?

02:02 We actually talked about it a lot.

02:04 We actually talked about that today.

02:06 What did wifey say about that?

02:07 Oh, she hasn't seen it yet.

02:09 That's why I'm leaving halfway through.

02:11 You didn't know that?

02:12 I'm leaving halfway through.

02:13 So you can make up for--

02:15 So when she gets home, there's flowers and stuff.

02:18 That's what all that was about.

02:20 I'm buttering her up for the fact that a lot of it was actually inspired by me and Maya's marriages.

02:27 Okay, Donald, community, the movie's happening.

02:29 Allegedly, as long as it works with y'all's schedules.

02:32 I was told that the script--

02:34 Literally, I was texting today.

02:36 I was told the script is done.

02:38 Well, was it in your inbox?

02:40 No, I haven't read it yet.

02:42 But I was told it was done.

02:44 It's really just a schedule thing.

02:46 I'm in, I'm all in.

02:47 I love it.

02:48 So, Josh Gambino, the next album finished, done.

02:50 It's been four years.

02:51 Why are you keeping us waiting?

02:52 I know.

02:53 I don't know.

02:54 I'm busy.

02:55 I got all this stuff happening.

02:56 You can add a little something else to the plate.

02:58 I know.

02:59 I love this accent.

03:00 This is great.

03:01 I feel like I'm at home.

03:02 You know what?

03:03 If you need any work on your southern accent in the future, call me.

03:05 Call your gal.

03:06 Absolutely.

03:07 Nice to meet you.

03:08 So nice to meet you.

03:09 Congratulations.
