Question: If Community isn’t renewed and this is your last day on set ever, what will you take away from this experience and what will you miss the most?
Gillian Jacobs: I’m going to cry. It so far exceeded my expectations of what the show would be. This is one of the best pilots I’ve ever read, so already my expectations were high. Then shooting the pilot -

COMMUNITY is up for “Best Comedy.”
You know what to do.
Let’s make this happen again, fandom!
This isn’t even a competition anymore.

Get Joel McHale to host SNL
Now that COMMUNITY has a return date, wouldn’t it be great if Joel hosted SNL to help promote it? And wouldn’t it be even cooler if Donald was the musical guest? (as I’ve been suggesting for months).
Go join if you haven’t yet :)
