In tonight's episode of NBC's COMMUNITY titled, 'Advanced Gay',  Pierce (Chevy Chase) learns that he and his Hawthorne wipes have become extremely popular and he decides to throw a big party... until his overbearing father, Cornelius Hawthorne (Larry Cedar, "Deadwood,") shows up and puts the kibosh on the plans. Meanwhile, Troy (Donald Glover) finds himself being courted by Vice Dean Laybourne (John Goodman) and his secretive Air Conditioning Repair Annex, as well as Greendale's resident janitor, Jerry (Jerry Minor, "Lucky Louie"). Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Pudi and Jim Rash also star.

The critically acclaimed COMMUNITY is a smart, exuberant half-hour comedy series about a tight-knit study group at Greendale Community College. At the center of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale, "The Soup"), a fast-talking lawyer whose degree has been revoked. With some help from his fellow classmates, Winger forms a study group who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work.

Also among the series stars who comprise the group are comedy legend Chevy Chase ("Fletch") as Pierce, a successful businessman whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom; Gillian Jacobs ("Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World") as Britta, the 20-something dropout with something to prove; Yvette Nicole Brown ("Rules of Engagement") as Shirley, a sassy middle-aged divorcée; Danny Pudi ("Greek") as Abed, a pop culture junkie; Alison Brie ("Mad Men") as Annie, a high-strung perfectionist; Donald Glover ("30 Rock") as Troy, a former high school football star trying to find his way and Ken Jeong ("The Hangover Part II") as Chang, the group's former Spanish professor - turned student. Greendale's fearless leader is Dean Pelton (Jim Rash, "That 70s Show"), an ultra-efficient yet slightly neurotic administrator, whose penchant for dressing in costume is well-documented.

After the dramatic paintball conclusion of season two, season three finds the group tackling a new set of challenges including a tough-as-nails biology teacher, Professor Kane, played by Michael K. Williams (HBO's "The Wire") and Chang's questionable appointment to campus security. Dean Pelton meets his match in Vice Dean Laybourne (John Goodman), the distinguished head of the Greendale Air Conditioning Repair Annex, while Troy and Abed also decide to share an apartment together, which creates new challenges for their friendship.

COMMUNITY airs at 8:00 pm ET on the NBC Network.
