Watch Donald Glover Virtually Reunite with "Community" Cast
Glover and his co-stars did a virtual table read for charity.
Whether it be for class, a virtual happy hour, or reuniting the cast of a beloved TV sitcom, webcams have become the mode of communication du jour.
Universities and businesses nationwide have turned their lessons and meetings to Zoom, but the video-chatting app has also been used by high-profile actors who, like us plebs, are spending lots of time at home. We've seen the cast of Netflix's Big Mouth read an episode, and the folks of Parks and Recreation reunited after half a decade since the series finale. Now, it's time for a brief homecoming for the cast of Community, including an appearance from Donald Glover—who left halfway through the show's fifth season to work on Because the Internet, the second album under his Childish Gambino alias.
Last night, Glover virtually met up with his cast mates Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong, as well as Community creator Dan Harmon to do a table read of "Cooperative Polygraphy"—Glover's second-to-last episode on the show, which aired in 2014. Community depicts the unlikely friendship that forms between a group of students at a community college, with Glover portraying a former high school football star forced to resign from the sport after a blundered keg flip. The show ran for six seasons total and has garnered a cult following.
The virtual table read is a fundraiser for World Central Kitchen and Frontline Foods and marks Glover's first time participating in a Community-related event since his departure from the show. Watch below.
