Glover, who raps under the moniker Childish Gambino, is up for Best Hip-Hop Video for the video to his song, “Heartbeat.” His category: Best Hip-Hop Video Childish Gambino, “Heartbeat” Drake feat. Lil Wayne, “HYFR” Kanye West feat. Pusha T, Big Sean & 2 Chainz, “Mercy” Watch the Throne,...

Dave Hill explains Summer Olympics sports for BBC America

Posted by | Jul 31, 2012 | |

For the one person who still doesn’t understand the sports included in the Summer Olympics — so you’re that person?!? — BBC America has enlisted American comedian Dave Hill to help explain and demonstrate them.
