The cast seemed to get along fabulously and appeared to be very fan friendly. Dan Harmon let everyone know that episode 4 of Season 2 will have an Apollo 4 homage during a space themed episode. According to Dan, "Humanity has to use its humanity to overcome the cosmos".
Dan was asked where the "Warfare" episode came from. He responded that we have become jaded about TV and jokingly added that he wanted to see what they could do about filiming a Die Hard inspired episode before they were canceled.
Joel McHale was asked about having multiple jobs (Talk Soup & Community). He said that he want's to have as many jobs as Ryan Seacrest.
The cast was asked about the amount of improv in the show and suprisingly Danny and Donald responded that there was not much, "the scripts are pretty tight and we do them as written." An exception was the end of the Halloween script. They weren't allowed to to film it as written, so they just ad libbed.
An audience member asked if they have the whole season laid out, especially when it comes to the Annie and Jeff remance. The writers replied that they have a "state of the union every 6 weeks to get everyone on the same page and steer the direction".
