Although it appeared that Chevy Chase and Community creator Dan Harmon had patched things up, there may be more trouble brewing behind the scenes of the NBC sitcom.
In another leaked voicemail message posted on EW.com, Chase says he feels there's a "disconnect" with the storyline and character development decisions on Community. “Obviously you don’t get my humor at all,” Chase tells Harmon. "This is not my kind of comedy."
Growing increasingly angry, Chase says, "You're not there when we shoot and you're not there when they edit." Before threatening to quit, he added, "It’s just a f***ing mediocre sitcom. I want people to laugh and this isn’t funny.”
Previously, the 67-year-old actor, who plays middle-aged college student Pierce in Community, walked off the set during shooting of the upcoming season finale, according to Deadline.com.
Harmon reportedly countered at the show's end-of-season wrap party by giving what Deadline refers to as a "F*** you, Chevy" speech in front of the actor and his wife and daughter. Harmon also encouraged the crew to say "F*** you" to Chase.
Chase then departed the party and left a profane voicemail message for Harmon in which he aired his grievances. According to Deadline, Chase has walked off the set of Community multiple times in the past.
Community has not yet been renewed for next season
