Joel McHale Shocked by Host Response While Talking Eventual 'Community' Movie
Since its series finale seven years ago this month, fans of the acclaimed sitcom Community have been eagerly anticipating its eventual movie riffing on the popular adage "six seasons and a movie." While talk about the movie's fruition has been addressed by a number of the show's stars since the virtual table read in 2020, Joel McHale tells PopCulture.com host Tania Hussain exclusively in support of Rold Gold's Gold Hunter campaign that it's "more likely now" than ever before.
McHale, who is heading out on tour this fall with his Community co-star (and unquestionable soulmate) Ken Jeong, joked the pair are "going to shoot" the movie while performing this October on tour with a "GoPro" and will be "bringing, Donald [Glover]" along. "It's going to be great," he teased.
After Jeong told PopCulture last year that he is "absolutely" game for the movie whenever it may come, McHale says thanks to streaming and a growing fanbase every day, he can see it coming along eventually. "There's been so much talk of it where I used to go, 'Maybe there'll be a movie — I don't know,' [but] it's more likely now because the show has done so well, streaming-wise, it's really just a matter of getting everybody together and getting schedules right," he said. "It's like making a dessert on Crime Scene Kitchen — all these elements have to come together and they have to come together at the right time. So I would say it's more likely, definitely more likely than it used to be and I'm positive about it when I'm usually not."
Additionally, Joel gets the stun of his life with our host and SUPERFAN, whose response is one he didn't see coming when it comes to how well she really knows him! Tune in for more and the latest on his summer hit baking show, Crime Scene Kitchen and his upcoming E! series Celebrity Beef.
