As part of his plan to make the study group pay for underappreciating him, Pierce surprises Troy with a visit from his idol Levar Burton on 'Community' (Thursdays, 8PM ET on NBC). But Troy is so overcome that he can only stare at Burton in starstruck terror.

"I told Pierce a thousand times I never wanted to meet Levar in person! I just wanted a picture! You can't disappoint a picture!" rages Troy during a meltdown later. Then, he hugs himself in a bathroom while singing the theme from 'Reading Rainbow.'
