Chase gets honest about his time on the show.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Chevy Chase gets blunt about his time on Community where he played Pierce Hawthorne on the NBC sitcom. The actor's time on the show was contentious as he clashed with creator Dan Harmon, refused to do scenes, and would regularly make racist jokes while filming. This culminated in season 4 where Chase used a racial slur while filming an episode. The incident upset Chase's co-stars, with Chase walking off the set.
In an interview on WTF with Marc Maron, Chase addressed his Community exit. The actor spoke candidly about his time with the series, those he worked with, and his relationship with Harmon. In the quotes below, Chase mentions that he was not happy with the writing of his character. He adds: "I felt happier being alone. I just didn’t want to be surrounded by that table, every day, with those people.
“I honestly felt the show wasn’t funny enough for me, ultimately. I felt a little bit constrained… Everybody had their bits, and I thought they were all good. It just wasn’t hard hitting enough for me.” “I didn’t mind the character. I just felt that it was… I felt happier being alone. I just didn’t want to be surrounded by that table, every day, with those people. It was too much.” How Community Wrote Off Pierce Hawthorne In his final full Community appearance, as part of the season 4 finale, Pierce graduates from Greendale. Chase later cameos as Pierce in the season 5 premiere as a hologram, since a lawsuit dictated that Pierce was no longer allowed at Greendale as the result of a lawsuit.
This becomes clear in the following episode when the group has to partake in a lie-detector test to prove that none of them murdered Pierce. He leaves his study friends with thoughtful gifts and parting words, most notably leaving Troy with the remaining shares of Pierce's moist towelette company. The shares are worth $14 million. But as a condition, Troy has to sail around the world. This sets the stage for Donald Glover's exit from the series.
