Joel McHale is optimistic about the future of his show Community.
At a press event in Pasadena, McHale talked about the show and commented on co-star Chevy Chase's recent anger towards showrunner Dan Harmon. Last week some voice mails showed up on the internet with chase complaining that Community isn't funny. It's uncertain if Chase will come back to the show, but McHale said "he'll be back if we're back."
Making a joke about the situation McHale said “there’s four more voice mails coming out that will make it a full series.” He added, “it’s going to be a book on tape. It’s going to be read out loud by Samuel L. Jackson.”
Chase and Harmon were both expected to be at the panel, but NBC has said that the two had conflicts that prevented them from showing up. McHale became a little more serious after joking that Chase couldn't figure out voice mail, so it couldn't possibly be him. He noted that Chase "obviously wasn't happy, but he loves the cast.
According to McHale a fourth season of the show would have the characters “coming out of [testing] and moving onto their next chapter of their life.” Even if the show ends at Greendale, he noted that “There’s graduate school, post-graduate, teaching..."
