NBC's comedy COMMUNITY pays tribute to the long-running 'Law and Order' franchise on the April 26th episode as actors Michael K. Williams and Leslie Hendrix make guest-star appearances.

In the episode, entitled 'Basic Lupine Urology', when Annie (Alison Brie) discovers the study group's yam experiment smashed to smithereens on the science lab floor, the group mobilizes to expose the criminal and save their grade. Once Abed (Danny Pudi) and Troy (Donald Glover) think they have located the perpetrator, the group conducts a "trial," with a reluctant Professor Kane (guest star Williams) serving as judge. Jeff (Joel McHale) soon realizes, however, that the plot is thicker than anyone suspects. Chevy Chase, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown and Jim Rash also star. The episode airs April 26 at 8:00 pm/ET on the NBC network.

The critically acclaimed "Community" is a smart, exuberant half-hour comedy series about a tight-knit study group at Greendale Community College. At the center of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale, "The Soup"), a fast-talking lawyer whose degree has been revoked. With some help from his fellow classmates, Winger forms a study group who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work.

Also among the series stars who comprise the group are comedy legend Chevy Chase ("Fletch") as Pierce, a successful businessman whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom; Gillian Jacobs ("Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World") as Britta, the 20-something dropout with something to prove; Yvette Nicole Brown ("Rules of Engagement") as Shirley, a sassy middle-aged divorcée; Danny Pudi ("Greek") as Abed, a pop culture junkie; Alison Brie ("Mad Men") as Annie, a high-strung perfectionist; Donald Glover ("30 Rock") as Troy, a former high school football star trying to find his way and Ken Jeong ("The Hangover Part II") as Chang, the group's former Spanish professor - turned student. Greendale's fearless leader is Dean Pelton (Jim Rash, "That 70s Show"), an ultra-efficient yet slightly neurotic administrator, whose penchant for dressing in costume is well-documented.
