NBC's Community Starring Joel McHale and Chevy Chase

Community returns to Paintball!

2011-03-01T13:08:00.000-05:00

That's right news is that this years two part season finale with be a return to Greendale's famous paintball match from season one's "Modern Warfare!"

EW.com reports:

Josh Holloway — who played James “Sawyer” Ford on ABC’s Lost — is in the process of closing a deal to make a cameo in Community’s two-part season finale. It’s set for May but no date has been announced.

Holloway’s character will emerge as a mysterious figure who shows up on campus during another game of paintball. The two-parter is a sequel, of sorts, to “Modern Warfare” — last year’s memorable episode that began with the Dean announcing a prize for a game of paintball. It devolved into campus-wide battle.

Joel McHale interview in Vanity Fair

2011-02-25T18:10:00.000-05:00

Joel McHale hosting the Spirit Awards and Vanity Fair has a great interview!

Don’t Forget that the Independent Spirit Awards airs tomorrow night at 10pm on IFC.

Highlights From Vanity Fair :

John Lopez: You’re hosting the Film Independent Spirit Awards. How did that happen?

Joel McHale: They asked me to do it. I was like, “Yes.” And they were like, “O.K.” Now here we are. I didn’t have to kill anyone. There wasn’t a posting on a kiosk.

You didn’t answer an ad on Craigslist?

It wasn’t Craigslist. I think it was Angie’s list.

What’s the secret to hosting this kind of stuff?

The secret, jeez. Boy, I don’t know… my main concern is making sure the monologue is funny, and the things I do in between are funny. I think keeping the ball rolling is very important. People are there a long time, and it just needs to keep moving.

Who knows, maybe one day you’ll host the Oscars? Maybe you’re the next Billy Crystal.

Well, I’m not pursuing hosting, [but] I would like to be in a movie as good as When Harry Met Sally. No, my focus now is movies, and more so, making Community the best show on TV.

Community is very cinematic. Like Justin Lin’s episode—you guys have a lot of movie-oriented fun.

Yes, that’s one of the goals of the producers and Dan Harmon the creator—to make it distinct from other shows, because so many comedy shows are shot like documentary shows. They wanted to get away from that. So it does become cinematic. So I’m focusing on that, and getting movie roles.

Donald Glover and Danny Pudi throw a raging party just for the fans!

2011-02-25T15:02:00.000-05:00

Zap2it.com reports that after Danny and Donald invited anyone and everyone to come out to party with them on their dime!
From Zaptit.com:

The next time we see an open invite from NBC's "Community" stars, Donald Glover and Danny Pudi to party with them, work be damned. We're going.

On Wednesday (Feb. 23) night, Glover tweeted, "Me and [Danny Pudi] are at Agave on Vermont in LA. Open bar for an hour (for my fans) starting...NOW!"

Yes, we didn't make it over, but there were certainly plenty of fans who did. So, what happens when you hang out with Glover and Pudi? To our delight, Twitter was made for these kind of things. There was general frolic, a botched deal to get siblings to make out, and the actors reached new heights in bar-dom.

"@MrDonaldGlover offered me fifty bucks to make out with my brother. Not enough...," tweeted one fan in attendance.

To which Glover replied, "Hey! I said $100. I'm not a creep."

I hate it I miss this one!

Alison Brie and Danny Pudi Talk About Community's Love Connections and Politics

2011-02-24T12:53:00.000-05:00

Buzzsugar.com has a new interview with Alison Brie and Danny Pudi about the future of

Community and tonight’s all new episode!

Will we see anything happen between Annie and Jeff in the future?
Alison Brie: You know, I still think that Annie holds a little flame for Jeff. We saw [it] in an episode when we first came back and Rich comes on the scene; you can tell that Jeff gets a little bit jealous. I think that there is a bit of a push and pull between the two of them, and actually in this episode that we're talking about, there's a bit of that tension there as well, throughout the election. I think that their bumping heads kind of fuels more of that. I think that anytime they're together, there's a bit of that, because it can't exist, or because it's controversial. I think that makes it dangerous and interesting, and obviously to Annie, it's exciting to have a crush on an older guy, and she continues to try to challenge Jeff in that way. That spark is not totally dead. You may catch glimpses of it in this episode. We shall see . . . we'll have to wait and see if it amounts to anything.

Do Troy and Abed (In the morning) have any dream guests?
DP: I'd like to see Howard Stern . . . I'd actually like to see Chevy Chase. Not Pierce, but Chevy Chase.

How close did Annie and Britta get close to kissing on the Valentine's day episode?
AB: It was such a funny thing because it wasn't in the script, we just sort of improvised it while we were doing it, and then one of our producers was there and was like, "Oh that's so great, I'll just yell 'kiss her,' and then you guys do that!" And everyone behind the monitor was like "Yeaaah." It was clearly a bunch of dudes.
DP: Yeah, it was crazy that we were so excited about that. It was crazy to see that actually end up in an episode too, because we were so excited about it.
AB: I couldn't believe they kept it in, to be honest. But I have to say we really didn't get that close to kissing. I think we actually got closer to kissing in a photograph that one of our writers posted on Twitter. Like behind the scenes on set is just a bit more racy than our on-camera work.

The boys from Community pose for GQ!

2011-02-23T09:40:00.000-05:00

Thats right the male cast of Community is featured in this months issue of GQ. They guys show of some of the latest fashions... and yes that is Chevy peeing in the corner!

From GQ:Gant by Michael Bastian

On the Cast of Community

Took the reins: 2009, New York City
Designer: Michael Bastian, 45
The aesthetic: The beloved American heritage brand gets a pick-me-up from one of the marquee interpreters of American style. The result is classic sports-influenced preppy (madras, rugby shirts, navy blazers) updated with bolder patterns and colors and slimmer fits.
Every man should own: "A pair of five-pocket cords. They work with everything, and you need to give your jeans a rest. Sometimes there's a little too much denim static out there."
Fashion pet peeve: "I'm ready for the whole stylist phenomenon with celebrities to go away. People always ask, 'Whose style do you admire?' Well, it's hard to say, because I don't think we're seeing personal style; we're seeing hired style."
Inspiration: "No one has more style than a New York City 7-year-old. I live next to a school in Greenwich Village, and it's always so cool to see the parents walking their kids to school, because it's two moms or two dads, mixed-race families, and you can see that the kids are just allowed to be themselves and pick their own clothes in the morning."

All clothes, Gant by Michael Bastian. From far left: 1. Blazer, $695. Polo shirt, $115. Chinos, $165. Sneakers by Converse. Pocket square by The Tie Bar. 2. T-shirt, $89. Shorts, $198. Moccasins by Minnetonka Moccasin. Socks by Pantherella. Watch by Timex. Hat by Zanerobe. 3. Suit jacket, $695; pants, $345. Rugby shirt, $135. Shirt, $195. Tie, $125. Loafers by G.H. Bass & Co. 4. Baseball jacket, $295. Shirt, $148. Pants, $285. Moccasins by Minnetonka Moccasin. 5. Sports jacket, $696. Hoodie, $198. Shirt, $195. Pants, $325. Loafers by Ralph Lauren. Watch by Smart Turnout.

Collection of Sexy Alison Brie Photos!

2011-01-20T15:31:00.000-05:00

Okay maybe we are pandering but what better way to get you all ready for tonight's all new episode of Community?

Okay, you have seen most of these before but how about a refresher? These are some of my favorite pictures from various Alison photos!

What kind of man does Alison Want? That and many more answers will be answered here… but just look at the pictures all ready!

From Menshealth.com:

Make a memorable entrance

Brie says, "The first thing I notice about a man is how he carries himself—the way a man enters a room can be incredibly sexy."

Your move: "Before entering a room, exhale gently, pulling your belly button toward your spine," says Janice Novak, M.S., author of Posture, Get It Straight! "Your abs will contract, aligning your lower back, flattening your stomach, and making you look confident and fit."

Be dynamic

Brie says, "It sounds so old-fashioned, but I want a guy who's sensitive enough to understand what I'm going through and who will defend my honor."

Your move: A 2008 study in the journal Personal Relationships reports that women tend to prefer men who are competitive in athletics but not in relationships. So let her see you fired up, but never direct it at her. Your competitiveness should work for her—you're a team.

Create compatibility

Brie says, "If our kissing isn't in sync, it's over."

Your move: Every first kiss is a little awkward, so quickly learn her likes and dislikes—with your hands. "For a woman, hands are part of kissing—how you touch her or pull her closer," says Dorree Lynn, Ph.D., author of Sex for Grownups. More contact leads to more signals; whenever she pulls toward you or mirrors your moves, note what you did to trigger it. Then repeat.

Chevy Chase rates his own movies! A look back.

2010-10-08T23:16:00.011-04:00

Once again we are celebrating the birth of the finest American Actor, Chevy Chase! In celebration I thought it would be fun to take a look at the career of the genius with the man himself. Kinda.

This is a famous interview with Chevy from 1989. This interview has become infamous over the years as Chevy comes off as somewhat arrogant in the interview but that is Chevy and that is why we love him. These are simply some of the highlights and for more check out the full interview at Movieline.com.

In this excerpt Chevy rate some of his own films:

Since the critics usually attack your films, how would you like a chance to rank what you’ve done on a scale of 1-10?

I’d give Deal of the Century a five.

**Glad you’re playing. What about your first film, Foul Play?**

Everybody seems to like Foul Play, so I’m beginning to think it’s a good movie, but at the time I didn’t think so. I was very much against them making me fall off the pier into the water for the good old days. I never got over that. I was so pissed about it. I suppose the highest I could go on that is a seven.

Weren’t you involved with Goldie Hawn at that time?

Most people who knew us back then knew that we were romantically involved. Particularly during the making of Foul Play. But obviously that changed. Nothing went sour, we just went our separate ways. But yeah, we were very much in love at the time. Very infatuated.

Have you considered working together again in a similar kind of film?

People talk to me and Goldie over the years about doing another similar picture, but I think she would prefer to work with Kurt [Russell]. I mean, I love her and I think we work great together but there haven’t been any scripts that have come to both of us. Now that she’s at Disney and I’m at Warners I don’t see how that’s going to happen.

**Back to your rating your films. What about Seems Like Old Times?**

Six. It was kind of the last of those Neil Simon-type pictures that worked and it was great to work with Neil and his lines. I don’t think people have the patience for that kind of thing.

Oh, Heavenly Dog!

CHASE: Benji was hot. It was an opportunity to work with a dog. I never saw the picture. I’d give it a two.

Modern Problems.

CHASE: I’d give that a one. There were too many drugs in Modern Problems.

Weren’t you almost electrocuted in that?

Yeah. It was awful. I had a scene in which I was to be wired as a landing airplane in a dream sequence and the special effects people had devised it so that these lights would go over my shirt. The director felt that wasn’t right, and that it should go under the shirt and attach to my skin. We were all a little nervous about that. They turned on the juice and I just was getting electrocuted and they thought I was kidding, screaming and yelling, “Turn it off!” In fact it was real and I fainted. The paramedics came. I was almost killed, according to the doctor. The burns were to the muscles in my shoulders, arms and back. I was weak for a long time.

**How do you feel about Caddyshack?**

There were too many drugs in that too, but that wasn’t a problem. The more I’ve seen it over the years, the less I thought it was a good picture. I really liked Billy’s [Murray] performance, and Ted Knight’s. Rodney’s just Rodney, not a good actor obviously. It’s up there at six or seven.

**Under the Rainbow?**

I met my wife then. She was working as production coordinator. First picture I made $2 million on. It was just a fiasco. Awfully funny script, but it changed.

**The first Vacation?**

I’d give that an eight. I always thought that was one of my best. It had a wonderful spirit and charm and it was so much fun to make.

**The first Fletch?**

CHASE: A six. It made use of me in a way films hadn’t — it showed a more serious side, an ability to behave and act like a detective.

**The second Fletch?**

CHASE: A four.

European Vacation?

I rate it low. It opened bigger than any of my other films because of the expectation after the first one.

**Spies Like Us?**

CHASE: I forgot about that. That was all right, a five or six. I had to work with [John] Landis.

**That was after the tragedy with the deaths of the children and Vic Morrow on Twilight Zone—the Movie. Was Landis, who directed that segment, affected when you worked with him?**

He was affected, but not able to show it very well. If anything, it should have changed the way he dealt with people but it didn’t. He’s a bit of a bully, to say the least, with the wrong people, the easy shots. He’s got a crassness about him. Anybody who can pick on a set decorator or an extra in front of everybody else in a very mean way is lacking something. I would think that an experience like Twilight Zone—the Movie would put some humility into your life. But it didn’t.

Landis also directed you, Steve Martin, and Martin Short in Three Amigos!

That was great fun. I put that right up there with Vacation. Landis and his egoism cut out a lot of the funniest, best stuff of that picture. It could have been cut better. But Steve and Marty, we have Amigo dinners all the time. We became best friends in that.

**You had a small part in Caddyshack II.**

A bit part for less than a million bucks. I had nothing to do with it. I just went in for a week and shot my stuff. Had no idea how bad the movie was. That was just a horrible picture. That’s down at zero.

**Funny Farm?**

I rank it pretty high, though there’s not much to the picture. It’s a funny movie. My dad was very upset about the picture. He felt that it made no use of what is intrinsically indigenous and good about what I do. George Roy Hill just did not want me to mug in any way. He wanted pure, real acting and he felt it would be funnier because of that. I learned less is more in some cases, but I was also fighting him the whole way. Ultimately the picture came out dull because it lacked the things that I do give to a movie that people do expect.

**And your latest, Christmas Vacation?**

It has a different look and feel and I’m quite good in it, so I’d have to rank it high. I had a lot to do with it and I chose the director, who is a first-time director. But it’s not Moby Dick. It’s what I’ve been sort of forced into doing over the years. It’s only there to make you laugh, it’s not a particularly deep movie.

Happy Birthday Chev!

Community Soundtrack is Streets Ahead!

2010-10-07T17:17:00.000-04:00

Just received my Community Soundtrack from Amazon. Three Weeks late but okay at least I got it.

The CD is pretty good. It only includes original music made for Community but thats Okay with me!

There is Plenty of Pierce, Abed, Troy, Vaughn with the nipples and Ludwig's amazing scores not to mention the full extended version of the 88's theme song! I think Chevy fans will really enjoy this as he really shines in more than one song including the Greendale School song "Greendale's the way it is!"

You can purchase the album from amazon or download it today from Itunes!

Chevy in Esquire

2010-10-07T16:56:00.000-04:00

Our good friend over at the Chevy Chase Show blog brings us this great article of Chevy on... well everything, from Esquire. Here are some of the highlights!

My father was the funniest guy I ever met. I'm not sure if I stole his stuff or if I inherited it.

You could knock my teeth out and break my nose and there'd be something funny about it to me.

Billy Murray and I came to fisticuffs, but we never really ended up hitting each other. We tried, but Belushi got in the middle and we both ended up hitting John. And if anybody deserved to be slapped in the forehead it was John, for instigating it all.

The best advice I can give you about falling is to never land.

I never shot things up or freebased. I was pretty low-level when it came to drug abuse. I checked myself into the Betty Ford Clinic after my nose started to hurt.

Love is huge. But if you're talking about men and women, it's got to start with the most initial obvious attraction that warthogs go through. Look at that ass! That's what keeps the world spinning. There's your God.

I'm still in love with my wife the way I was when I fell in love with her thirty years ago. That's luck.

My favorite food is eggs. I like 'em over easy on a muffin with a little ham. I can have four of those every morning. I eat more eggs than anyone I know. How can you not love eggs? It's our birthright.

I'm about as bright on Community as I was in school.

I went to college with every intention of being a doctor. I was redirected by my grades. That, and a fake radio show that I improvised with some friends. Wasn't even on the air.

I don't think eggs are so filled with cholesterol as people think. The problem comes in with how they're made, the sauces and that kind of stuff. I could be wrong.

I remember the first "Update" I did on Saturday Night Live. They had big cameras back then, and you were looking into a huge lens. I wasn't nervous at all because I looked right through that lens and imagined the faces of the seven funniest people I knew. It never occurred to me that millions of people were watching. What I did was just for the eight of us.

It takes somebody smart to play somebody dumb.

It's all timing — Nixon leaving. Ford handed the presidency. Luckily for me, Ford kept on tripping over things. I didn't make any attempt to do an impression of him. I would simply take a nice fall or hit my head out of nowhere and get huge laughs for it. People used to joke that it really hurt Ford in the election he lost to Carter. It was close, and someone said I got a point in the New York primary.

I left Saturday Night Live after that first year. I never wanted to work for more than a year on anything.

I wish John were alive today. I'd love to see. Would he have kids? Would he be a grandfather? What would he look like? What you realize is, there aren't that many funny people in the world. You lose a guy like Belushi... ah, it's hideous.

It will eventually be discovered that the more you sleep, the healthier you are. Which means you'll really be at your healthiest when you pass away.

A good name for a mistress would be close to a man's name so that nobody would know. Like... Conane.

I always fly first class. To remind myself.

Live a life of grace. You'll be a better person for it, and so will your children.

Break as few bones as possible and make as much noise as you can.
