Episode description

By the time Chevy Chase, the 66-year-old SNL alum joined the cast of Community, he’d earned a rep as an actor with an explosive temper who was difficult to work with. Community creator Dan Harmon was getting a bit of a reputation himself. He’d been fired from a high-profile show for refusing to take notes and for not getting along with his host. And now these two Type-A personalities were thrust together on the same show. What could possibly go wrong? Amid on-set spats, temperamental walk-offs, a vulgar voicemail, and dramatic firings and rehirings, Dan and the cast would wage war on Chevy Chase. In this episode, we’ll explore the complex history of the hit show Community and break down how - remarkably - two dueling supersized Hollywood egos still managed to create television magic.
