Coincidence or just trying to work in as many as possible?

KEN JEONG:My whole goal is to get everybody on the show fromCommunity.
It all happened with Jim as the same process it did with Joel and Danny it was all organic.
So that means Joel is his least favorite.
Im surprised Danny is that low, since Id have him much higher on my list.
So I look forward to seeing who lands at number one.
My guess is that its going be Gillian, but that seems like a given.
JEONG:[Laughs] Yeah, you see the recipe.
I cant deny that.
If we were doing a countdown of the Top 40, hes 40.
Get it out of the way.
Its a good song, but its not a song that were going to remember.
Thats a good way to think about it.
RASH:Hell appreciate the analogy.
How did it feel to be back working together?
No joke here, just good friendship.
Again, Im in the middle and I cant be more excited about my placement.
JEONG:No, Jim Rash is a genius.
Ive learned so much from him onCommunityover the past six years just watching him work.
Its literally like watching a master class in acting, and hes just so perfect in his movements.
Just to share scenes with him really is a beautiful thing.
What madeCommunitysuch a unique experience?
If you might have that kind of relationship off-screen, then it is the gift you hope for.
RASH:Fun fact: We had a lot of group hugs onCommunityepisodes.
JEONG:Even if the scene called for us to fight and to yell at each other.
The Internet would be outraged if I didnt ask: Any update on aCommunitymovie?
RASH:Not at this point.
I mean, we all hope because that means reunion for all of us.
It means a chance to get together and have a final, final moment or chapter forCommunity.
So we hope, but theres no guarantee of anything.
JEONG:Yeah, Im the lone wolf.
RASH:What if I had said, Oh yeah we shot it, we just finished?
JEONG:Hey, everyone knows Id love to be there.
Wait, you just wrapped yesterday?
Oh yeah, you didnt even get invited to the wrap party?
I knew you werent in the script.
RASH:With your character we kept just saying, Oh, Ken just left the room.
JEONG:Bye Chang.
RASH:Yeah, Chang just left the room.
Oh, he did?
Hopefully we see him a little bit later.
JEONG:That was another Asian.
It was Randall Park playing the part of Chang.
I never got the offer, thats so weird.
It definitely plays to our chemistry that we cultivated onCommunityand it definitely transfers over toDr.
Again, its really a wonderful reunion, much like how I reunited with Joel and Danny.
RASH:Number five and number four.
There was one time that I thought of Jim for another role, but it was just too small.
RASH:I did the smart thing of counting Joels lines and my lines.
Its a scale that [Ken] is working on, its really exact.
Joel had the least, Danny had more than him, and I had more than Danny.
But again, I had the number of lines that didnt make me mad or depressed.
Sometimes you need hands to act.
JEONG:As opposed to hack-acting, which is my brand of acting.
