'BREAKFAST CLUB' ALUMNI ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL TO GUEST STAR ON HOLIDAY EPISODE OF NBC'S COMEDY SERIES 'COMMUNITY'

HALL'S APPEARANCE MARKS THE FIRST TIME HE'S WORKED WITH CHEVY CHASE SINCE THE TWO STARRED IN 'NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION'

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - November 2, 2009 - Anthony Michael Hall, who rose to fame in the '80s as one of the members of the infamous "brat pack," will guest star in the holiday episode of NBC's comedy series "Community" airing Thursday, December 10 (8-8:30p.m. ET). Hall will haunt the halls of Greendale Community College as a campus bully who ultimately challenges Jeff (Joel McHale) to a fight. "Community" is a smart comedy series about a band of misfits who form a study group and like in the classic film "Breakfast Club" end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work.

Hall rose to fame in the 80's with breakthrough performances in John Hughes' series of teenage angst films, he captured the shy, withdrawn, and often overlooked pain that we've all gone through. As an adult, his transitional film work and starring role in the successful TV series, "The Dead Zone" showed us that drama is well within his grasp as an actor. Most recently, his work on "The Dead Zone" has allowed him to extend his talents into producing.

"Community" is a Krasnoff Foster Entertainment, Harmonious Claptrap, Russo Brothers production, Universal Media Studios production in association with Sony Pictures Television. Russ Krasnoff ("The Soloist"), Dan Harmon ("The Sarah Silverman Program"), Joe Russo ("Arrested Development"), Anthony Russo ("Arrested Development"), Garrett Donovan ("Scrubs"), Neil Goldman ("Scrubs") and Gary Foster ("The Soloist") serve as executive producers.

"Community" and "Parks & Recreation" rose to their highest ratings in weeks on Thursday night. On an evening punctuated by most shows posting week-over-week declines, the NBC comedies, both recently picked up for a full season, showed some spark. While over on Fox, some viewers didn't get the message that no Game 7 meant the return of "Fringe" -- the series hit a dramatic series low.

ABC won the night. "FlashForward" (8.5 million viewers, 2.6 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) slipped another tenth to hit another low. "Grey's Anatomy" (13.6 million, 5.0) slipped slightly, and "Private Practice" (9.2 million, 3.5) was on par. Both medical dramas won their hours.

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
