"It’s Just a F*cking Mediocre Sitcom!": Second Chevy Chase Recording Emerges, Rips His Own Show "Community" (EXCLUSIVE)
4/10/11
by Inside Hollywood
This is no joke: Chevy Chase doesn’t think his NBC show "Community" is funny — at all.
In a second and more candid audio recording of Chase, obtained exclusively by Celebuzz, the veteran actor is caught on tape ripping the prime-time program that he helped build, admitting to the show’s creator Dan Harmon:
“It’s just a f*cking mediocre sitcom! I want people to laugh and this isn’t funny.”
An angry Chase added, “It ain’t funny to me because I’m 67-years-old and I’ve been doing this a long time. I’ve been making a lot of people laugh — a lot better than this.”
You can listen to the voicemail exclusively on Celebuzz in the audio above.
The release of the recording is a potentially fatal blow to the beleaguered series that is already reeling from an all-time series ratings low last week, totaling just 3.1 million viewers nationwide.
NBC is yet to confirm if "Community" will even be back for a fourth season and after the release of this audio, it seems improbable that Chase — and his spacey senior student character Pierce — will not be back, even if the sitcom does return.
