Joel McHale fires back at Chevy Chase: ‘Same here, pal’
Comedian Joel McHale Fires Back at Chevy Chase’s Critical Remarks
In a recent podcast interview, former “Community” co-star Chevy Chase made some critical remarks about his time on the show. However, Joel McHale, who played alongside Chase, didn’t let the comments get to him.
“[Chase] stopped hurting my feelings in 2009,” McHale, 51, joked when asked about it by People.
Chase, 80, appeared on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast and expressed his dissatisfaction with the comedy series. He felt the show wasn’t funny enough and that he was constrained in his role. Eventually, Chase’s character was written off the show during season 4.
“Everybody had their bits, and I thought they were all good. It just wasn’t hard-hitting enough for me,” Chase said.
Chase played Pierce Hawthorne, a millionaire attending community college with McHale and the rest of the cast. His character met a rather unusual demise, dying of dehydration while collecting sperm samples.
“I just felt happier being alone. I just didn’t want to be surrounded by that table, every day, with those people. It was too much,” Chase explained.
McHale responded to Chase’s comments by reminding him that no one forced him to stay on the show. He also referenced his book, where he expressed similar sentiments towards Chase.
“Hey, the feeling’s mutual, bud,” McHale said.
Furthermore, McHale hinted that Chase would not be part of any potential spinoff movie based on “Community.” He sarcastically dismissed any issues during the show’s production.
“Yeah, I don’t think so. There weren’t any issues at all when we were making the show,” McHale stated.
It’s clear that McHale isn’t letting Chase’s remarks affect him, and it seems unlikely that the two will be working together again anytime soon.
