The Cast of COMMUNITY Will Reunite For a Virtual Table Read and Donald Glover Will Be There
While we all wait to see if the long-awaited Community movie ever happens, the cast of the series and creator Dan Harmon are reuniting for a virtual table read and Q&A!
The full list of cast participants includes Joel McHale, Donald Glover, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong. I’m sure you all remember when Glover departed the series during its fifth season. This will be the first time he’ll be back with the cast since he left. Chevy Chase will not be a part of it.
The live-stream event will take place on Monday, May 18th, at 2pm PT via Sony Pictures TV’s “Community” YouTube page. The cast will read the episode titled “Cooperative Polygraphy,” which is the fourth episode of Season 5, which originally aired on January 16, 2014.
“Cooperative Polygraphy” takes place almost entirely in the Greendale Community College library where the show’s study group gathers after the funeral of Pierce (Chevy Chase). Waiting for them is Pierce’s estate executor, played by Walton Goggins. One by one, the show’s characters are grilled by Goggins and are bequeathed final gifts.
For the Q&A part of the session, Fans can submit their questions on social media using #AskCommunity and tag @CommunityTV.
As part of the event, fans will be asked to contribute to two charities: José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen and Frontline Foods, both of which are involved in COVID-19 relief efforts to get fresh, nourishing meals to responders working on the frontlines and vulnerable communities across the country. Both charities have earned kudos for their work during these challenging times; McHale has partnered with Frontline Foods to help deliver foods to hospital workers around LA, NY and Detroit.
While the purpose of the reunion is to help raise some money, it could also help spark more interest in getting that movie made!
