​@@romxxiithey kinda knew. iirc Gillian Jacobs knew the show was very popular on iTunes and they were trying to use those different viewers to argue for keeping the show.

My theory is that he knows Pierce is written to be a *mostly* unlikeable, curmudgeonly asshole who's the old fogey behind the times and the butt of many, many jokes. And people LOVED his character, way more than anything he's done since the 80s. His pride couldn't handle that so he threw a years-long tantrum. Chevy Chase really is Pierce Hawthorne, and on some level he knows it.

[@theendistheend123]

😂😂😂 I believe it

[@HellInternAKACandyMD]

I used to think that, as well as it being his own confusion at the newer generational form of comedy, and just a strong miscommunication at that attempt at relating and imitation. One of the outtakes had him saying something like, "And then you get slapped in the face.", and it was after another outtake where Joel slapped Donald and no one was expecting it, and everyone just started laughing after Donald laughed. Plus my dad is at the age where he thinks we're all on the same page joking, when he actually said something dickish, so, maybe all that booze caught up?

[@jeanmckeon6899]

[@mihan5660]

​@@HellInternAKACandyMDi agree other than it being imitation of newer comedian, bc according to the actors who hate chevy chase video, he has those mean-spirited jokes in person in that way since his snl days, so i think he's always been personally into that kind of stuff.

I'm probably reading too much into this, but the fact that Joel mentioned the Marc Maron interview here makes it seem like he just didn't say anything (anything nowhere near as telling as he did here) because Chevy didn't comment on it either. But Chase blaming them seems like it was the last straw. Like if you've seen other interviews Joel has done over the years he's never shied away from the fact that Chevy didn't want to be in Community, but he always seemed to come from a place of understanding. Here he just sounds hurt. (Again, I'm probably reading too much into this)

It's a shame Chevy was so hard to work with on Community. He was one of the funniest characters w/o a doubt and Pierce's presence was definitely missed in Season 5 for me.

[@eolsunder]

yep loved his character he had some amazing episodes. But no one likes the guy, you can just look back at his other movies and those he co-stared with those movies didn't like him and never kept up with him again either. There is a reason for that, he isn't a likable guy. Martin Short? Steve Martin? best friends, never had anything to do with Chevy after the movies. SNL costars hated him. John, Bill Murray, there are books of SNL stars who gave their opinion on Chase.. "Monster" is one of them.

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

I've heard Joel say in other interviews how good Chevy was on the show and how it was just a shame that he could embrace/enjoy/appreciate the fact that he was on TV and not in a movie.

[@winstonsmith6607]

It was genius how Dan Harmon basically had Chevy play himself

[@dionysusNME]

Chevy Chase always plays himself

[@Sullivanwushere]

Unless Chevy improvised a lot I think anyone could have played Pierce. One of the funniest Pierce episodes is when they’re going over his will and Chevy wasn’t even present that whole episode. The writers showed that pierce’s line delivered by a straight faced monotone lawyer instead of Chevy still hit.

Outside of Akroyd not a lot of positive stories of Chevy Chase ever

[@nirvanachile24]

Can we re-normalize not scapegoating mental illness for people's asshole behavior?

[@jerdog333]

I worked with Mr. Mchale, and he was so nice. Even when the cameras weren't rolling and he could have gotten away with being a big shot, he was cool. The reason I say this is because I believe what he's saying and it's heartbreaking to hear what Mr. Chase was like to work with. He's still an icon and I still love his SNL work and movies, but that sucks to hear.

Chevy and Bill Murray. Last of the Legendary Dicks in Hollywood. Still love their work in the 80’s. Won’t miss them when they go. 🤣

[@k_hack9441]

Crazy seeing young Lex and Jeff Winger collaborate is nuts

[@forceghostburtreynolds7597]

Joel was good in that cop exorcism movie

[@forceghostburtreynolds7597]

@Readytotalk24 "Deliver Us From Evil" - you'll like it

[@thomasstengel7356]

Love these stories. My good friend was a casting director on Community and I've asked her multiple times about the Chevy rumors. Thankfully, she's a far better person than am I and has always practiced an admirable level of discretion.

[@derinum]

Cool job that show had the best cast

[@johnmca5643]

Community will always be one of my top TV shows. I fell in love with two hot talented actresses.

[@TheDas9582]

it is baffling that Chevy Chase has been known to be a terrible person forever, and if I were Chevy, wouldn’t I want to change those behaviors? Wouldn’t I want someone not to think that I'm an asshole? Amazing.

[@RataStuey]

Bill Murray knew this about Chevy back in the 1070s. “MEDIUM TALENT”

[@MyEnemy]

I had a friend like Chevy in high school. He was an arrogant jerk but he had a fantastic sense of humor. He was just someone where you had to take him or leave him. Things were always on his terms.

"I'M CHEVY CHASE AND YOU'RE NOT!" Rings differently now.

[@Dianimations_]

Michael looks so much like Chevy it's crazy!

[@Midgard24]

i must read this , i love Joel Mchale. Animal control is also a fantastic show

[@EricFarwell-gh9pw]

Joel's impression of Chevy in "A Futile and Stupid Gesture" was devastating even if the script mostly showed him as an enabler.

[@Sam2.0574]

Joel travelled back in time and was interviewed by young Chevy.

[@christianriquelmeh]

When Rosenbaum says "I'm not fucking doing this!", he really channeled Chevy for a second.

[@Wall2000x]

Joel is my new hero.

[@wehkfam5680]

Just watched the hotel clip from 2 years ago and this is Michael's interviewing McHale shirt.

[@andrewhill98]

Can’t wait for the movie!!!

[@ContentVintageTypewriter-ut1vl]

I love how Joel didn’t give a fuck about his age or status and stood on business against Chevy Chas

[@ContentVintageTypewriter-ut1vl]

And Joel would have fucked him up because he’s a legit athlete won a national championship as tight end for Washington huskies

[@HAHb-zc2dp]

I immediately love this guy hosting this because of his movie poster selection it looks like my basement 😂😂😂😂😂

[@johns9969]

Chevy, 30 years ago, would be playing McHale Jeff winger role. Can't handle the aging.

[@cakeisavegatable]

As a 90s baby I still imagine The Flash cartoon if I close my eyes and listen to Michael’s voice

[@Kevbo2040]

This is a fascinating little clip. Good to see Joel McHale again, and Michael Rosenbaum. I still think Dark Sector was a fun video game.

[@toddflora6877]

Advanced Horseplay will be at Coachella this year.

[@allindiangirl99]

Joel dislocating Chevy's shoulder sounds like Joshua's trampoline somehow hahaha

[@ricklundeen]

You know, it's strange--Mike kinda looks like a younger Chevy. Time for a tv movie!

[@sonofbatman5233]

To quote the great Bill Murray’s assessment of Chevy Chase: “Medium Talent”.

[@numberoneappgames]

Love Joel, love that he's Johnny Cage too. Awesome all around actor.

[@DonCDXX]

I'm reinforced in my belief that Community would've been a much better show if Peirce had been played by Ed O'Neil instead of Chevy Chase.

[@braddecker1857]

That had to be at Steel con a couple years ago. Beverly was there for Violent Night and Xmas Vacation. Chevy was there for Xmas Vacation. Michael was there for the Smallville reunion. Michael even went to were Beverly was at and said he found her shoe.

[@thatcannonguy]

I'm buying this book NOW!

[@rocketshipize]

Knowing that Joey McHale fist-fought Chevy Chase gives me infinitesimally more respect for him.
