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 -
[Jacobs begins to cry.]
Yvette Nicole Brown: Oh, it’s OK, Stinkers. She’s such a pretty crier. My God, she’s a pretty crier.

At breakfast this morning she asked me “Are you a happy girl?”
I’m undergoing pretty big changes in my life at the moment. I was not only selected as soprano section leader in choir,...

Sunday morning
My dad and my little brother came over before church for pancakes, and they’re playing Soul Caliber IV together, and even though my little brother’s been playing this for weeks, my dad’s kicking his ass.
I love my family.
