Donald Glover hires Malia Obama as writer for new show: ‘Her writing style is great'
Variety ^ | 03/26/2022 | Staff

Donald Glover has confirmed that Malia Obama is in the writers’ room for his new Amazon series. The “Atlanta” Emmy winner told Vanity Fair that Obama is “an amazingly talented person,” adding, “She’s really focused, and she’s working really hard.”

“I feel like she’s just somebody who’s gonna have really good things coming soon,” Glover said. “Her writing style is great.”

Stephen Glover, Donald’s brother and frequent collaborator, is also developing the Obama-assisted Amazon series and had this to say about the young talent: “Donald always says perspective is important, and people with different perspectives are important for a writers’ room. And for sure, [Malia] definitely has a unique perspective on everything. So we wanted to hear her stories and have her work with us. Listening to her stories and having her involved really gave us a lot of good ideas.”

Donald Glover signed an eight-figure overall deal with Amazon Studios in February 2021. Sources told Variety at the time that Malia Obama was joining the writers’ room of a Glover project with playwright Janine Nabers, but it wasn’t until now that Obama’s involvement was confirmed. The series is reportedly about a “Beyonce-like figure.”

“I feel like she’s just somebody who’s gonna have really good things coming soon,”

I wonder how many high-profile/high-paying jobs I'd get hired for, where the employer anticapted I'd be good at the job, "soon".

What stories does she have that Jenna Bush doesn’t?

Both were raised in an privileged, hot house environment.

Color me nonplussed.

Her writing style = “White supremacists are everywhere. MAGA are white supremacists. BLM can do no wrong because white supremacists are racists- blah blah blah”

“Did Chelsea Clinton ever do any work at NBC job?”

Yes, I caught a piece of the one “journalism” report show she did. Incredibly bland boring person who could put an insomniac to sleep. Even the Democrats would not watch her. I think she was cancelled before the show even ended.

I’m sure she writes better than her mom:

Christopher hitchens on Michelle’s thesis
“I direct your attention to Mrs. Obama’s 1985 thesis at Princeton University. Its title (rather limited in scope, given the author and the campus) is ‘Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community.’ To describe it as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be ‘read’ at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn’t written in any known language.“

The plan is to keep her busy without taking a job at Wendy’s, until she find a nice young man to marry and then disappear from all news cycles.

If I were still a Broadcast Producer (and a leftard), I would leverage the hell out of that little skull full of mush for production funding from leftist Obama sycophants. Easy peasy!

Another LOL! Sure she has a different perspective - she grew up in the White House! Whether or not that makes her any kind of writer .... I doubt it.

Obama is “an amazingly talented person,” especially after interning for Harvey Weinstein where she sharpened her skills...
