Biography
Darrell "Ding-dong" Devil was a young urban youth born on June 6, 1969. As a young demon, he was ostracized by his peers for having red skin. He graduated from school at the age of eighteen to hunt down angels and eat raw cabbage. Unfortunately, he only got to eat cabbage because he was kicked out of his home right when he turned eighteen. Darrell was forced into the streets for a year before joining a Satanic group. Darrell hated it and desperately wanted to escape it. After years of work for the Satanic group, their leader (played by Bob Hoskins) introduced him to Satan (played by Joel McHale) at Starbucks. Darrell befriended Satan and walked out of the Starbucks with him before pushing him into oncoming traffic, killing him. The Satanic leader was horrified, but Darrell quickly ended his horror by ripping out his throat.

Behind the scenes
The devil was created by Richard Ramirez and Chris Rock as a one off character while writing the acclaimed series Path of the Emo. Rock nearly cut the character from the series before Richard said, "No! We need the devil for the sex episode (referring to Episode 8 "Beginning of the WAR!)!" Richard spent three days trying to find a way to fit the devil into Path of the Emo's tightly-knit narrative before putting him into the end credits of the sex episode.

Despite the difficulty of putting him in, Richard found it very easy to cast him. Richard casted Donald Glover to play the Devil because, in his words, "Ya see, I'm color blind, so I just see black and white. And because red is closer to black on a color spectrum, the devil is black in my eyes. And since we already casted the two blackest niggers I've ever met (referring to Chris Rock and Bill Cosby), I decided to cast Donald Glover because Community is a kind of funny show."
