The final bell may have not rung for Community. The canceled NBC has been rumored to be picked up the streaming service Hulu. Meanwhile, Joel McHale may have a new gig.

Like you owe them an apology when they can’t measure or monetize you to their satisfaction. You deserve better.”
The show’s star Joel McHale was rumored to take over the Late Late Show after host Craig Ferguson step downs. The head of CBS Leslie Moonves and his wife Julie Chen recently met with McHale.
