A Surprising Reason the Community Cast Left Glover Out of Their Group Chat
Workplace group chats are a common occurrence nowadays. And the world of entertainment is no exception.
When the cast of Community reunited on Joel McHale and Ken Jeong 's Darkest Timeline podcast, they revealed they had also jumped on the group chat bandwagon. But one cast member was left puzzled, as he had not been included.
Daniel Glover was perplexed as he had no idea the group chat even existed. And the reason was simple. The rest of the cast had excluded him. But why? Such a close-knit group surely would not leave one of their own out? It sounds dreadful. But their motivation for doing so was as pure as it was surprising.
They explained that Glover had been excluded because they knew how busy he was at that time. Being keenly aware of his multiple projects and stellar work ethic, they did not want to distract him by adding him to their very active group chat.
And it was not a far-fetched assumption to make, either. Glover has been steadily working like a man possessed since Community concluded. He created, directed, and starred in Atlanta, voiced Simba in The Lion King, and featured in Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Martian, and Spiderman: Homecoming. And then there is his music career on top of all that. Under the rap name Childish Gambino, he has made some really strong strides as well.
But any fears about Glover not being part of the Community family because he was left out of the group chat were crushed during the reunion podcast. It was clear that everyone was still getting along famously, and eager to work together once again. While the buzz of a Community movie remains strong, nothing has been solidly confirmed as yet. But the fandom is patient.
In October 2022, it was announced as "confirmed" that a Community movie was coming. But as recently as last week, stars were revealing they knew nothing about it as yet. Given it seems unlikely that a movie would happen without the key actors, it remains in limbo as to what the status of the rumoured movie truly is. Only time will tell…
