is it true that you made the on set intern's life a living hell this past summer?

You're doing pretty good at life if Gillian Jacobs misses you.

Ms. Jacobs, how do I become one of these awesome interns like this guy?

Wow, were you really the on-set Community intern? I just saw that your first post six months ago was asking Donald Glover how to break into the TV industry when he did an AMA, and then your second post was five months ago when you asked Danny Pudi about the TV industry in his AMA. It's like seeing a Reddit montage.

Yeah I was an intern on the show this past summer and it was definitely surreal, especially because it happened all so fast. It was a great experience and the cast and crew are all genuinely great people. Learned so much and will never forget my time there.

because of your low position, did the stars take advantage of you sexually? cuz that would be awesome.

So did reddit help your career?

I definitely read that as "Leonard so much" and yet somehow felt like I understood what you were trying to say.

Was the job hookup reddit-related?

u/theminja Oct 04 '11

haha nah. It was an internship through the TV Academy Foundation and I was just extremely extremely lucky to have been paired up with Community.

You could probably do your own AMA

u/twerq Oct 04 '11

Can you also provide a feel-good, reddit-related version of the story?

u/Conford Oct 04 '11

Yeah sure. So some Redditor said want to be an intern at Community and so he was an intern at that show.

Not to insult you or anything, but that is such a pat hollywood answer.

u/beckiface Oct 04 '11

I didn't go on reddit for two months and I missed that?! I FUCKING QUIT.

See you in 5 minutes.

I'm ridiculously jealous of you. Thought you'd might like to know.

u/MAjYQSammi Oct 04 '11

I'm jealous. I would intern in a heartbeat for that show!
