Do You Think Chevy Chase "Redeemed" His Career With 'Community' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yes, sure, we know — Chevy Chase got his start on Saturday Night Live, and had his own 1993 talk show that lasted a whopping five weeks. But the bulk of his work has been on film, where he ruled the ’80s in crowd-pleasing comedies like Caddyshack, Fletch, and the National Lampoon movies. His star had fallen substantially by the time he joined the cast of NBC’s Community, playing moist towelette magnate and certified creeper Pierce Hawthorne. He’s absolutely hilarious in the role, entirely redeeming himself after all the cheesy movies he’s starred in over the past 20 years.

overall I think his good movies overshine his bad ones - and most of his bad ones still had some pretty good funny parts even when the movie as a whole was a trainwreck,

so I don't think he needed to redeem himself, but I think he is hilarious on Community
