" The cast of NBC&amp;#039;s Community have received a memo from Sony Pictures Television in relation to the axing of showrunner Dan Harmon. Harmon created the NBC comedy in 2009, but was recently dropped and will be replaced by Happy Endings writers David Guarascio and Moses Port.   The leaked memo - printed in full by The Hollywood Reporter - contains instructions on how the show&amp;#039;s cast should respond if questioned about Harmon&amp;#039;s exit. If asked why Harmon left, they are told to reply: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re not made aware of why staffing changes take place but I will always be grateful to Dan for his great work on the show and wish him only the best. We&amp;#039;re also excited that we&amp;#039;ll be back on NBC&amp;#039;s schedule in the fall and are looking forward to working on those episodes.&amp;quot; The memo also suggests that the show&amp;#039;s actors should say that they are &amp;quot;sad to see [Harmon] go&amp;quot;, but requests they add: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re looking forward to working with David Guarascio &amp;amp;amp; Moses Port on a new season of Community.&amp;quot; Community stars Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown and Jim Rash have all made public posts on Twitter supporting Harmon and thanking him for his work on the show. &amp;quot;I saw some of the tweets that went out and were glad [the cast] all addressed their own sentiments quickly,&amp;quot; said the leaked memo. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re hoping that the news will lose some steam over the next day, especially if we&amp;#039;re not perpetuating the topic in any way. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re tracking the coverage and conversation and will circle back if we feel the need to re-shift our plan or messaging.&amp;quot; Community will return to NBC for a fourth season in the fall, airing in a new Friday night slot. &amp;amp;gt; Community star Jim Rash on Dan Harmon axe: &amp;#039;It&amp;#039;s out of our hands&amp;#039; Watch a Community webisode below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
