They sat down with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender and made them do their impressions in person, and it got as adorable as we’ve come to expect.

Who can blame them for being a little nervous, though? Go ahead, tell me this wouldn’t have been your reaction:

I just have a lot of Community and LeVar Burton on the brain today.
