00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:02.550
- So the other thing I wanted
to ask you about is after-

2
00:00:02.550 --> 00:00:03.383
- Oh, you have a folder.

3
00:00:03.383 --> 00:00:04.380
- I have a folder.
- Okay.

4
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:06.990
- Okay, so after "Community" ended,

5
00:00:06.990 --> 00:00:09.976
there was an auction for some
of the props, and I bought-

6
00:00:09.976 --> 00:00:11.040
(Gillian gasps)
The character sheets-

7
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:12.000
- No, you didn't!

8
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:13.771
- [David] From "Advanced
Dungeons & Dragons."

9
00:00:13.771 --> 00:00:16.560
- Oh my god!

10
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:18.090
- So that's your character sheet

11
00:00:18.090 --> 00:00:20.280
from "Advanced Advanced
Dungeons & Dragons."

12
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:21.690
- The second time we played.

13
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:22.920
- [David] Yes.

14
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:23.981
- With David Cross.

15
00:00:23.981 --> 00:00:24.814
- [David] That's right.

16
00:00:24.814 --> 00:00:26.052
- Oh my god!

17
00:00:26.052 --> 00:00:27.750
- So I wondered what your thoughts were,

18
00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:30.300
what you remember about
those "D&D" episodes.

19
00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:32.940
- I remember there was a
scene where David Cross,

20
00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:35.070
Ken Jeong, and I are in a bedroom.

21
00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:37.953
And I think Ken had to sing a song,

22
00:00:39.070 --> 00:00:41.040
and we all started laughing so hard

23
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:43.190
that we could barely
get through the scene,

24
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:45.930
and I think to the point of annoyance.

25
00:00:45.930 --> 00:00:48.060
I think Joe Russo directed that episode,

26
00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:50.820
and I think it went on for a bit too long.

27
00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:53.430
I can't remember, or
David was singing a song,

28
00:00:53.430 --> 00:00:54.360
and Ken kept laughing.

29
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.680
I can't remember what it was,

30
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:57.930
but I have a very, very
vivid memory of that.

31
00:00:57.930 --> 00:01:00.513
I did not remember I
was Fibrosis the Ranger.

32
00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:04.350
This is really amazing.

33
00:01:04.350 --> 00:01:05.880
Wow.

34
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:07.260
This is so cool!

35
00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:08.790
- Had you ever played "Dungeons & Dragons"

36
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:09.720
before those episodes?

37
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:11.040
Were you familiar with the game at all?

38
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.920
- I had not, but I have since, kind of.

39
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:18.630
My friend Humphrey Ker had
me play over the pandemic

40
00:01:18.630 --> 00:01:19.560
for like a month.

41
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.693
Every Saturday or Sunday, we played.

42
00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:25.890
So that was brief, and I
made a lot of really bold,

43
00:01:25.890 --> 00:01:28.650
erratic moves that paid off.

44
00:01:28.650 --> 00:01:32.070
I remember refusing to
dismount from my donkey,

45
00:01:32.070 --> 00:01:36.090
and then I did a roll that
gave him, like, superpowers.

46
00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:37.680
And that really seemed to pay off.

47
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.550
So I have more experience
now with "D&D" than I did

48
00:01:41.550 --> 00:01:43.830
when shooting "Community."

49
00:01:43.830 --> 00:01:46.620
- It's interesting because
"D&D" is so mainstream now.

50
00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:49.260
It's as popular as it's ever been.

51
00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:50.850
There was just, the number-one movie

52
00:01:50.850 --> 00:01:52.890
in the country was a
"Dungeons & Dragons" movie.

53
00:01:52.890 --> 00:01:53.723
- [Gillian] Yes.

54
00:01:53.723 --> 00:01:56.197
- And I feel like, in a very real way,

55
00:01:56.197 --> 00:01:57.900
"Community" is in part responsible

56
00:01:57.900 --> 00:01:59.430
for this revival of "D&D," right?

57
00:01:59.430 --> 00:02:00.399
- I'll take it.

58
00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:01.920
- It kinda reintroduced
it to the modern era.

59
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.541
- It introduced it to me.

60
00:02:03.541 --> 00:02:04.374
- [David] Yeah.

61
00:02:04.374 --> 00:02:07.874
(upbeat electronic music)
