Comedy Community - Part 4

Question: Anything Community-related? —Orla
Ausiello: The private investigator Walton Goggins is playing in the Jan. 16 outing — the comedy’s latest bottle episode — couldn’t be less like his Justified alter ego Boyd Crowder, says Joel McHale. “Totally, completely different,” he insists. “It’s like the difference between Jeff Daniels in The Newsroom and Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber.” Furthermore, “There’s something he does — and it’s not the actual moment but something he does throughout the beginning [of the episode] — that is brilliant.” Trying to remember the last time WG did something that wasn’t brilliant. A little help here, please. Can’t you see I’m struggling?!

The man behind all (kooky) things Greendale will make an appearance in Community‘s upcoming fifth season, courtesy of funnyman Chris Elliott.

TVLine has learned that the Saturday Night Live alum will guest-star in a spring episode of NBC’s cult comedy (returning Thursday, Jan. 2 at 8/7c), playing the eccentric founder of GCC.

No word on why Elliott’s Russell Borchert resurfaces; we only know that he vanished off the face of the planet Greendale campus decades ago, following a bizarre sex scandal.

Season 5 of Community already boasts an impressive guest cast that includes Breaking Bad‘s Vince Gilligan and Jonathan Banks, Justified fave Walton Goggins, Arrested Development duo Mitch Hurwitz and David Cross, Terminator vet Robert Patrick and Castle star Nathan Fillion, among others.

Elliott’s recent TV credits include How I Met Your Mother and Adult Swim’s Eagleheart.

Annie and Shirley being disgusted when Abed mentions Scrubs season 9. :D
 
dammit Im just not feeling that tráiler.
 
Yeah, not too funny but not as bad as the 'faux romcom meta hero of the story' take they had on the first trailer...
 
I loved how meta the line about much scrubs did for Zach Braff was.
 
This looks like it will be the craziest season yet. I guess if you're gonna go out you might as well go out as over-the-top as you can.
 
I thought Chang quietly leaving after the *********ion question was great.
 
Alison Brie grew up hahahah? she looks older.

the trailer was meh. community jokes work when you understand them in context IMO

2013 also saw the filming of your acting debut on Community. Was creating Breaking Bad just a way of getting you closer to your true desire, to be in front of the camera?
Well, my true desire was opera singing. But this is a stepping stone towards that, absolutely.

How did the role come about?
This was a wonderful bolt from the blue. I wasn’t even remotely thinking about acting in any capacity, and then my agent called me with a request that had been forwarded from Dan Harmon at Community. Dan wanted to see if I’d be interested in appearing in an episode. I was just charmed. There was no way I was going to say no to it. Even though, I have to say, I was nervous as hell. And this is payback on a lot of levels for me. As a director, you want to make your actors as comfortable as possible, you want to communicate with them as effectively as possible, but having said that, I remember back on all the times where I knew in my heart I wasn’t giving Bryan Cranston or Aaron Paul or any of the actors exactly what they needed. I was just looking at my watch thinking, “God, we need to shoot this.” I was not as supportive sometimes as I could have or should have been. This was karmic payback for that. Having said that, though, everyone on Community was wonderful. The whole crew and the cast could not have been more enthusiastic or supportive, and I did not want to waste the crew’s time by not knowing my lines. That was one of my big phobias, as well as just basically sucking and embarrassing myself. That’s always a concern when I leave the house every day.

You play a gold-digger and you exacerbate a fight between Annie and Abed. What else can we expect from your character?
There’s a certain element to this that I don’t want to give away. But I will take a bit of a risk here and add: My character tends to employ the phrase “Yee-haw” a lot.
 
Reviews have been pretty positive so far. One called it "back to Community of the first 3 seasons", which is all I really wanted. I would've been more excited if it had said "the Community of the first 2 seasons", but whatever.
