Goldman and Donovan have served as writer-producers on the Community for the show's first three seasons. Although a cult and critical favorite, the show has yet to be renewed for a fourth season.

"We've had our eye on them for a long time," says Dana Walden, chairman of 20th Century Fox TV, describing the two as "incredibly funny" and "incredibly beloved."
Goldman and Donovan began working as a team on Fox's Family Guy, and later moved to NBC's Scrubs, where they served as executive producers until the show's eighth season.
