A: Oh, god bless you. It’s too bad, because this season is one of the best we’ve ever done.

Q: So, you’re having fun again?

A: The last two years have been fun, I mean with Dan Harmon (series creator and showrunner who was removed from the series in the fourth season) back that was a crucial, crucial component. I wouldn’t have come back to the show if he hadn’t come back. And then this year, with Yahoo!, Dan has total creative control. There (are) very little notes from the network or from the studio, which is a godsend. And now the episodes can be the length they want to be.

Q: One of the biggest complaints about the show, especially when it was on NBC, was that it was too smart for its own good. I always thought that was a lazy complaint, that, “No, actually, you mean it’s too smart for you.”

A: I see it as if you don’t get a joke or a reference that was just made, don’t worry there’s going to be one that’s going to be made in just a few seconds and it’s going to be so specific to you that it will pierce your soul.

Q: There is talk of a movie, but what are the plans for the show, itself?

A: I don’t know. That is to be determined because all of our contracts are up and we don’t know. We just don’t know … Some of the people have gone on and done their own shows, they’ve done pilots, and we’ll see if they get picked up. But I don’t know if any of the cast who have done pilots if there’s a clause that says they can or cannot do Community — I don’t know. We’ll see. I mean, if Yahoo can get the money together and people are available I think people would be willing do it.
