Community’s studio, Sony, sent a memo to its cast — most of whom had already gone on Twitter-record explaining exactly how pissed off they were — providing them with sample answers for how to respond to interview questions about Dan Harmon's dismissal as showrunner. This, as far as I can tell, is actually real. Via THR:

Since we know that cast members have interviews coming up this week, I wanted to forward some messaging we hope our cast will find helpful as they navigate questions that will undoubtedly come up. I know that [new showrunners] David and Moses are reaching out to them all directly but I've also heard from some of the actors that they'd like some guidance on the topic. [Editor's note: Who? Who asked for guidance?!]

Late Friday evening — with many us already deep into our debauched, virgin-piña colada fueled weekends — word came down from NBC that Dan Harmon would not be returning as showrunner for Community’s fourth season. And the streets ran red with blood! Well, OK, no. But people were pretty upset on Twitter!
