If that happens to be a Funny or Die spoof musical, so be it. The fact that it actually features the character Omar (Michael Kenneth Williams) is just the icing on the cake.

A few things readily apparent from this clip: Michael Kenneth Williams has a truly terrible singing voice. Just awful. And he can move his legs around Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance style. After viewing this, we can all agree that The Wire would have finally gotten some critical acclaim if they’d shoehorned a lot more song and dance numbers into it. Just like they do on the streets of Baltimore.

Mr. Starr will be playing a poli-sci professor and model U.N. adviser for one episode, though Starr left the door open for a reprisal of his role later on this season. Starr will join Michael Kenneth Williams and John Goodman as guest scholars this season.

Starr has built up quite a following through his stints of brilliant-but-cancelled shows such as Party Down and Freaks and Geeks. He’s hitched his star to a new wagon with his appearances on Adult Swim‘s NTSF: SD: SUV, but with episodes clocking in at a scant 15 minutes (with a huge cast), he’s got plenty of capacity to bring his brand of smug impatience to other programs in need.

If this Community Model U.N. episode is anything like the Simpsons one, everyone’s gonna end up shipwrecked on an island with Abed on trial for stealing food. And I have no problem with that. (TV Line)
