As Community’s premiere episode had a Breakfast Club theme to it, it seems only fitting that one of the stars of the classic ‘80’s film make an appearance at Greendale Community College. We have some clips featuring Hall in the episode titled “Comparative Religion.” Spoilers ahead!
It seems Community’s approach to their first “holiday episode” is to emphasize the diversity of the group as Shirley throws a Christmas party and learns that all of her new school-friends celebrate different religions (or don’t celebrate any at all). Meanwhile, Jeff ends up in a dispute with the school bully, played by Anthony Michael Hall.
Below is NBC’s description for the episode and further down are some videos.
“COMPARATIVE RELIGION (TV-PG) SHIRLEY THROWS A HOLIDAY PARTY FOR THE GANG — ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL (THE BREAKFAST CLUB) GUEST STARS AS CAMPUS BULLY —Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) throws a Christmas party for the gang and much to her surprise learns her classmates come from various religious backgrounds. Meanwhile, Jeff (Joel McHale) is challenged by the school bully (guest star Anthony Michael Hall) and faces the reality that he may fail Spanish 101. Chevy Chase, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Donald Glover and Ken Jeong also star.”
Community airs Thursday at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC.
