If you’re a Community fan, then we’re sure you’re still celebrating the success of a long & committed #SixSeasonsAndAMovie campaign.

And in the post that followed, Harmon screencapped a retweet Anderson did of McHale’s announcement tweet, joking that she’s willing to step in if they need a new “Gillian” (referencing Jacobs). “Only time in five years that I felt like I was missing out on Twitter,” Harmon wrote as the caption:
