The Awesome Way Donald Glover Showed Up To The Emmys

If you’re not a fan of the hit FX show, Atlanta, you were probably very confused when you saw a strange-looking man in the audience of the 2018 Emmy Awards with an obvious mask and wig. However, Atlanta viewers were likely able to identify him as Teddy Perkins, a one-shot character played by Donald Glover on the episode of the same name.
Most are pretty sure that it was Glover dressed as Perkins at the awards show, even though the actor and rapper has yet to officially confirm it. Let’s take a look at the awesome way Donald Glover showed up to the Emmys.

[@terrichastain8434]

He bares a remarkable resemblance to MJ....def. not Glover! Remember that MJ has been gone over 9 years and is a master of diguises....his wish later in life was to get into acting in various roles for either TV or movies! Be real MJ would have never got to do that...he was too good at music and dance....and that's what people wanted from him. It probably won't turn out to be MJ but I can hope with all my heart and soul that it will....I miss MJ...we need him and music needs him! Hopefully the King of Pop is back to "wow" us again!

[@ch4_r1ie74]

There is a video of Teddy Perkins and he said he survived being intoxicated and the people he told were so happy and said he was Michael. Here is some proof that that is Michael Jackson. Right after he died, his long time friend, Dave dave (yes that is his name) got interviewed by Larry king. It was pretty suspicious because it sounded like Michael. Then people suspected that was him. A bit after Dave dave got interviewed again. In that interview it was actually him this time and not Michael in disguise. In 2018 Dave dave died, so then Michael had to disguise as someone else, so he decided to disguise as Teddy Perkins. Who do you think he is disguising as right now???

[@MBsmiley]

This very possible. I've seen the Dave Dave guy and the interviews and thought the same thing

[@Dannydarknessx]

I've been thinking this teddy Perkins guy who showed up was mj.

[@dannyking4784]

Yeah something else to on that video was a man called jack crooner who was a doctor for Micheal Jackson who now hangs around the Jackson children. Just weird

[@Michaeldahan-iu1jv]

Plz shut up..

[@colinkeyes2054]

I watched Barry, and I watched Atlanta. They’re both good, but entirely different. Barry is locked on Bill Hader the whole time. Atlanta kind of drifts around but every episode is really something fresh and quality because of this. That said, Bill Hader worked consistently as an actor driving Barry so I understand the Emmy. It’s a huge shame we didn’t get an acceptance speech from Teddy Perkins though, because that would have been absolutely amazing and definitely stirred up Emmy viewership.

[@plastichouseplant]

@bANoMia He looks like a black person who had a nose job and is wearing a wig. Like his nose is still wide, but the tip is pointy and he has bad cheek implants. He's supposed to look like he had bad plastic surgery, not like he's just a white guy born like that. If I saw that guy on the street I wouldn't think "what a weird looking white person", I'd think "why'd that black guy do that to his face?"
