An upcoming episode of NBC’s Community will feature the Greendale Seven (now Eight with Chang) in puppet form. Titled “Intro to Felt Surrogacy,” the episode takes the study group on a balloon ride that crashes in the mountains where they make the acquaintance of a friendly mountain man (played by guest star Jason Alexander). Returning to campus feeling a bit awkward about their experience, the Dean (Jim Rash) suggests they act out their story in puppet form.

Community airs Thursday nights at 8pm on NBC. Hit the jump for the full press release and an image of the cast as puppets.
