NBC says of “Contemporary Impressionists”:
As the study group returns after winter break, Jeff (Joel McHale) reveals that he's been seeing a shrink and he's on anti-anxiety medication. The newfound confidence leads him to experience debilitating levels of narcissism, which Britta (Gillian Jacobs) tries to help him manage. Meanwhile, over the break, Abed (Danny Pudi) developed a celebrity impersonator habit that has saddled him with debt. In order to help Abed shed his debt, the study group dons costumes and goes to work for Vincent (French Stewart, "3rd Rock from the Sun," "The Muppets") as celebrity impersonators - appearing in character at a Bar Mitzvah celebration.
More in the text invisible:
* The episode was shot before “Community” producers learned the series would be leaving the air for three months; it’s set in early January.
* Brace for an homage to the obscure “Star Trek” episode “Mirror Mirror.”
* The Tommy Lee Jones impersonator looks NOTHING like Tommy Lee Jones.
* French Stewart plays a man who grew too old to impersonate French Stewart.
* Match these celebrities to the “Community” stars who could impersonate them:
Ryan Seacrest
Oprah Winfrey
Lorenzo Lamas
Judy Garland
Anne Hathaway
Michael Jackson
Burt Reynolds
Marlon Brando
Moby
* I much prefer they way they utilized Chang last week.
* How it ends: “Hot. Hot hot hot.”
