We have been saying for quite some time that Donald Glover is not only one of the most underrated performers on “Community,” but he is also one of the best on all TV. While Danny Pudi and Joel McHale continually have us in stitches, Troy’s epic meltdown over LeVar Burton (coupled with just about every other Troy meltdown) may be among one of the funniest and most committed scenes we have watched in recent years.

With that in mind, we are glad to see Glover recognized in a way that few stars of the long-snubbed NBC show have in the past three seasons — with an actual award! Glover was the recipient of the Breakout Performer of the Year Award at the 2012 Comedy Awards taped in New York City Saturday night. (The full show airs on Comedy Central May 6 — otherwise known as a week from today.)

As for who else was victorious on the night, Louis C.K. and Tina Fey were both big winners, and we also saw “Parks and Recreation” pull off a couple of upsets over a show in “Modern Family” that has been winning everything under the sun.
