'Community' stars explain hospital episode

Community stars Donald Glover and Danny Pudi have dropped some hints about an episode of the show set in a hospital.

The duo told TV Line that Pierce (Chevy Chase) will end up receiving medical attention after apparently taking an overdose in last week's instalment.

Pierce begins to believe that he is dying and decides to hand out his possessions to the study group.

"This episode has the funniest scene of Community I've ever seen," Glover said. "It's with Pierce and Jeff [Joel McHale] and I was on set when it wasn't even my scene because I just remember reading it and thinking it would be hilarious."

However, Pudi added: "There are two funniest scenes, because I'm thinking of [a different] one with Troy... Chevy Chase as a sick person could never be funnier, which is what they've been doing all season. And in Thursday's episode he is sick!"

Glover also suggested that the instalment has "poignant, sad moments" but continued: "These episodes are what makes our show really funny."

Community airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.
