‘Community’ star cracks up students in comedy show
Students lined up outside of Graham Chapel two hours prior to Donald Glover’s Thursday-evening performance to ensure themselves seats in the later filled-to-capacity audience. “How many of you know me from my show ‘Community’?” Donald Glover asked the audience, near the start of his set. “Well this is going to be nothing like that….It’ll be a lot nerdier.
‘WUSTL Live!’ guts out a great first performance
The cast showed real chemistry and comedic timing in both their live performances and pre-taped segments. The writing was sharp, the video-editing was perfect.

An Open Letter to Conan O’Brien
I’m sure a lot of other people watched you host “Late Night” and “The Tonight Show.” But I did watch all six episodes of “Andy Barker, P.I.” too, so that has to count for something, right? My favorite episode was the one with the evil chicken cartel.
‘Zombieland’
In “Zombieland,” a lighthearted movie that you could easily confuse for a video game, the world may look like a wasteland, but it’s really more of a play place.
