McHale was asked by 'People' magazine to respond to Chase's comments about not enjoying his time on the sitcom—and he didn't mince words.

It's no secret that Chevy Chase's time on Community wasn't a wonderful experience for many involved and that several interactions between him and other cast members were uncomfortable and toxic...to put it mildly.

Heck, according to PEOPLE, Joel McHale even talked about the "tension between the two and the often-uncomfortable things Chase allegedly said on set, including racist terms and jokes about sexual assault" in his 2016 memoir, Thanks for the Money.


So when McHale was asked about some of Chase's snarky remarks about the sitcom, it's no surprise he didn't hold back in his response.

Chase appeared on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast last month during which he continued to add fuel to the fire, telling the host:

“Everybody had their bits, and I thought they were all good. It just wasn’t hard-hitting enough for me.”
“I didn’t mind the character. I just felt that it was…I felt happier being alone."
"I just didn’t want to be surrounded by that table, every day, with those people. It was too much.”

When asked by PEOPLE about Chase's remarks, McHale was unfazed yet unapologetic in his response.

“He stopped hurting my feelings in 2009."

He continued:

“I was like, ‘Hey, no one was keeping you there.’ I mean, we weren’t sentenced to that show."
"It was like, ‘All right, you could have left if you really wanted that.’ But yeah, you know Chevy. That’s Chevy being Chevy."
"I wrote about this in my book, but I was like, ‘Hey, the feeling’s mutual, bud.'”

Many people on social media expressed how McHale's comments toward Chase were much-deserved.




Many also commented on Chase's racist interactions with actor Donald Glover.




It's also probably no surprise that Chase won't be making an appearance in the upcoming Community spinoff movie.

But it sounds like he won't be missed.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
