Greendale Community is proud to present an exclusive interview with the wonderful Yvette Nicole Brown. You all know her as Shirley the sweet, caring but sometimes angry student on Community. You may also recognize Yvette from such film and television roles as The Ugly Truth, Boston Legal, The Office and many more. After exchanging a few e-mails she was kind enough to answer some questions for us. Yvette is as sweet as you would imagine and even ends her sentences with little smiley faces! Yvette shares with us some great stories from the set including the chemistry between Shirley and Jeff, working with Dan Harmon and getting her very own catch phrase!
The great thing about Community is that so much of the show evolves the whole cast together in one room. What is it like filming those scenes?We have a lot of fun filming the study room scenes. The only "hazard" is that we have a hard time not laughing. Danny Pudi and I have ruined quite a few takes.
Working with such hilarious people I would imagine it to be extremely hard to keep from ruining every scene by laughing. Especially the Halloween episode must have been tough to get through with everyone’s costumes. Has there been a particularly tough scene for you?
