An: Hi.
Gillian Jacobs: Hi.
An: I have a question for Gillian first. Britta has traveled a long way from the stereotypical love interest in Season one to the sanest group member through her insanity today. Both Dan Harmon and Joel McHale praised your comedic abilities on the last conference call. So, could you speak further to Britta’s development and growth this season?
Gillian Jacobs: Oh, well, I just feel really blessed with some really great material that I was given in Season three that allowed Britta to further develop and need to unleash my awkward dancing on the world. So, I have really enjoyed her growth and evolution and development and I think that this show is not conventional by any stretch of the imagination, and therefore the role of traditional love interest really has no place on this show. So of course, we have to subvert it and change it and she has to be awkward and silly and strident at times and deeply flawed.
And it’s really great to play a multi-dimensional character with shortcomings as strengths, and I’m really grateful that I don’t just pine after Jeff Winger.
An: We all are. It’s awesome. And this question is for both of you. There has been a big push for six seasons and a movie on the Fan Community, but my biggest fear is that we might just have four seasons and a Webisode.
Gillian Jacobs: We’ve already done Webisodes.
Jim Rash: Yes, we’ll continue the Webisodes.
An: All right, an epic Webisode.
Gillian Jacobs: Oh, an epic Web…
An: Yes, ongoing, you’re just filming every day.
Jim Rash: Yes.
An: Are you looking at the fourth season as a last season? Are you preparing yourselves just in case it isn’t renewed for the fifth? As you said, it is the little show that could.
Gillian Jacobs: Well, I think that nothing about this journey has been average or predictable. It’s like the show itself, the journey for us as actors on the show. So, you have to maintain this balance between optimism and realism. But, it’s already so far exceeded my expectations of what this experience would be like that who am I to predict what’s going to happen this fall and beyond?
But, I’m just really grateful that I’ve gotten a chance to work with the writers, the directors, and the other actors that are a part of this show. And, I’ve learned so much from them and I’ve made some really great friends, and I feel like I’ve come out on the other end a stronger performer and I feel like I went to Graduate School for comedy. So, I — regardless of whatever happens, I’m just really grateful for the time that I got to spend with these people.
Jim Rash: I don’t know if I can say it better than that. Yes.
Gillian Jacobs: Jim didn’t need to learn anything. Jim came in a comedic genius.
Jim Rash: I wasn’t — I didn’t…
Gillian Jacobs: I needed this show to figure some things out.
Jim Rash: I refuse to learn.
Gillian Jacobs: He’s a teacher, did you know that? He teaches at Groundlings.
An: Oh, well, I’ll just have to sign up.
Gillian Jacobs: Yes.
Jim Rash: Yes, please, and that’s what this call is now turning into. Now, I’m going to sell you on some classes.
Gillian Jacobs: Jim’s classes at Groundlings.
An: All right, well, thank you very much. You’ve done — you’ve both done an awesome job and hopefully we will get to six seasons and a movie.
Gillian Jacobs: Thank you so much.
Jim Rash: Absolutely. Thank you so much.
