A new tape detailing the depths of Chevy Chase‘s dissatisfaction with his role on the NBC cult hit sitcom Community has emerged.
Chase, who left a vulgarity-laden tantrum on the voicemail of series creator and showrunner Dan Harmon, which then went viral after Harmon played it publicly at a comedy show, calls Community
a “f—king mediocre sitcom” that suffers from a serious disconnect
between what happens on set and what is seen by the audience.
Chase’s reps told the website Celebuzz, which first posted the tape, that the audio is over a year old.
“The other part of the disconnect is obviously, you don’t get my
humor at all, or what it is I do that’s funny, that actually makes
people laugh,” he says. With this, Harmon agrees, but Chase continues
with his complaint. “There are two choices. One is the story line —
like everybody gives a s–t about the f—king story when they don’t
even know who the characters are — or there’s make people laugh.”
