Earlier this month, it was revealed that the cast of Community – including Donald Glover – would be reuniting for a virtual table read of an episode to raise funds for coronavirus relief.
On Monday (18th May), the gang got back together, with Glover, Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong, along with series creator Dan Harmon, appearing together via Zoom. The table read was followed by a fan Q&A. Fans were asked to donate to World Central Kitchen and Frontline Foods‘ COVID-19 relief efforts.
The cast read from ‘Cooperative Polygraphy’, the fourth episode of the show’s fifth season, which aired back in January 2014. The episode, which marked Glover’s second-last before he departed the show, sees the study group taking a polygraph test as a group as part of Pierce’s will. It’s the first time Glover has publicly reunited with his former cast members since he left the show in 2014.
Pedro Pascal also joined the cast for the read, handling the role of Mr. Stone. In the episode, the character is played by Walton Goggins, but Goggins was unavailable to reprise his role for the read.
Watch the table read along with the Q&A below.
Glover released 3.15.20, his fourth studio album under the Childish Gambino moniker, back in March.
