"Nat Faxon has expressed his happiness at seeing his fellow friends in the comedy world at the Oscars. Faxon and writing partner Jim Rash, who is known for his role as the dean in NBC&amp;#039;s sitcom Community, recently won the &amp;#039;Best Adapted Screenplay&amp;#039; Oscar for their work in The Descendants.   Faxon and Rash met when they both performed at the California improvisational club The Groundlings, whose famous alumni includes Conan O&amp;#039;Brien, Jimmy Fallon, Kathy Griffin, Maya Rudolph and fellow 2012 Oscar nominees Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo and Melissa McCarthy. When New York Magazine asked how it felt to see other Groundlings at the Oscars this year, Faxon replied: &amp;quot;I know, it&amp;#039;s awesome. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really fun to be at these crazy parties and these crazy awards shows and walk in feeling like, &amp;#039;Whoa, this is a whole different world than I&amp;#039;m used to&amp;#039;, and then bump into a lot of familiar faces. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s so reassuring and also a lot of fun, because you get to experience it together with your friends. I mean, we were just across the aisle from Melissa, and Annie Mumolo and Maya and Kristen, and Wendi McClendon-Covey was there, and Melissa&amp;#039;s husband Ben [Falcone]. It was just a fun kind of reunion.&amp;quot; Earlier today, Faxon was cast in Fox comedy pilot Ned Fox Is My Manny.
