Community Cast, Even Donald Glover, to Reunite for Virtual Table Read – Variety
Donald Glover Finds Out He's Not Part of 'Community' Group Chat
Six seasons and a Zoom call. The cast of “Community” and creator Dan Harmon are reuniting for a virtual table read and Q&A, in order to benefit COVID-19 relief efforts.
Among the participants will be Donald Glover, who departed “Community” during its fifth season — marking the first time he’s been a part of a “Community” event since leaving the show. Stars Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong and Glover are all set to join the table read, along with Harmon. Pascal will also join in as a special guest.
The table read will be shown in its entirety, along with a Q&A of fan questions, on Monday, May 18, at 2 p.m. PT via Sony Pictures TV’s “Community” YouTube page. The cast is set to read “Cooperative Polygraphy,” the fourth episode of Season 5, which first aired January 16, 2014 on NBC.
Donald Glover Finds Out He's Not Part of 'Community' Group Chat
As the conversation kept going, the friends continued to share memories about their time on set, how Jacobs didn't think she was funny, how Jeong kids grew up with the show and more. At one point, Brown tells Jacobs to share a video in the group chat that prompts Glover to ask, "There's a group chat? I'm not in this group chat."
"You're not in the group chat?" Brown coyly asks, with Glover saying, "I literally, after this, I literally was going to be like, 'We should have a group chat.' There's no group chat?!"
Brown then replied, "I think we assumed you were too busy, Donald."
"So, y'all didn't put me in this group chat," he asked, as everyone started laughing. "Wow, it is kind of funny. Afterwards I was going to be like, 'I should start a group chat.' If I had started one, would you guys have told me there was one already?"
As the others continued to laugh, Jeong cracked, "No, no we wouldn't. We wouldn't have said it."
