Chevy Chase has had a lot of problems throughout his career in Hollywood. Even though the actor is one of the founding fathers of SNL, he had only a few successes in the 80s and 90s after he left the late night comedy show. Throughout his constant battle with alcoholism, his constant fights with colleagues drove his career into the ground, and his connection with Hollywood snapped. Until Community.

After his successes with the National Lampoon's Vacation movies, Caddy Shack, and Fletch, Chase's career started to wane, and with good reason. His rehab stints in the 80s didn't help him get roles, and neither did his knack for being exceptionally hard to work with help either. A skill that would one day bite back at him in his hour of need.

From day one, NBC's Community had its problems. With the show's creator, Dan Harmon, being already the hardest person to work with, adding Chase to the mix was probably not a good idea. Chase was cast as Pierce Hawthorne, who is part of the gang of community college students that join together in made up club ran by Jeff Winger. When the show premiered in 2009, no one could have known that not only working with its creator was going to be hard, but so was working with Chase. The combination of the two together turned out to be one of the most famous feuds in television.

When Chase joined it was evident he didn't fit in with the cast. Here was this old reject from Hollywood that hadn't worked in god knows how long, with a history of starting problems with his co-stars. Even in the show they don't really like his character, and Chase doesn't really like anyone or anything, so there were bound to be some conflicts.

In 2012, the "Dan Harmon's Poops" (or else better known as Harmon's Tumblr page) really hit the fan. Even when Community was only second to The Office at the time, a feud between Harmon and Chase was ignited, and depending on the which version of the events you believe, it seems neither party was innocent.

According to Deadline's reports at the time, Chase walked off set during the last day of shooting of season three, and didn't finish filming his scenes. Fast-forward to the seasons wrap party, where Harmon apparently gave a speech which included a "F**k you Chevy" shout out, in front of Chase's entire family. What proceeded was Harmon closing out his speech instructing the cast and crew to join him in a chorus of "F**k you" towards Chase."

Chase left the party, and later sent Harmon a very filthy voice mail, that could only have rivaled his Clark Griswold Christmas bonus tantrum. The message, which was then leaked all over the internet because Harmon constantly played them in front of people, talked about why Chase stormed off set, and the wrap party. According to Chase the reason behind leaving the set was due to not having the script beforehand, but others say he left because he didn't find the episode funny enough, something Chase would definitely do.

Someone on the set said that the feud was "inevitable," because of both of their personalities. After that Harmon was fired just before season four was shot, and was replaced for his constant late scripts and his constant name-calling towards his executives. Harmon was also an alcoholic, and he would often fall asleep on set, prompting the make of Tumblr page called Sleepy Harmon. He even calls himself a "rude asshole". He was later reinstated for season five, but the show was to be cancelled after season six.

Harmon later touched on his feud with Chase in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, in 2013. The reason for much of the pairs fights initially started when Chase had problem with the way Harmon was writing his character, but Harmon would then use his tantrums as story material.

"[Chevy is] a befuddled old man, but he's also the guy who calls you to his trailer and shakes the script in the air and says: 'I'm not a befuddled old man! I'm sexy! I could be the star of this show! I'm not gay. You're writing me as if I'm gay,'" Harmon said.

"I'd say to him, 'Do you understand that what you're saying is funny and it makes an interesting character?' He would kind of blink and stare at me and go, 'Whatever, I just don't think it's funny.'"

Chase on the other hand, however disgruntled he may be, signed on for season four but called it a "mistake". "Dan and I are friends again," said Chase. "He's brilliant and can be very funny. The reason I wanted to do the show in the first place was Dan's writing. And I stand by that. But I have to go now, I'm very busy writing Community's Ice Capades Extravaganza."

"The hours are hideous, and it's still a sitcom on television, which is probably the lowest form of television. That's my feeling about it," Chase told The Huffington Post UK. "I think the reason I have stuck around is because I love these kids, the cast - they are very good."

Chase is also sited to having problems with his co-star Donald Glover, after Chase told him,"People think you’re funnier because you’re black." To that, Glover told The New Yorker, "I just saw Chevy as fighting time," Glover told The New Yorker. "A true artist has to be okay with his reign being over. I can’t help him if he’s thrashing in the water. But I know there’s a human in there somewhere."

Chase left the show in season four, after just four years of being back on television and retreated back into the shadows. He has had a couple of gigs in recent years but nothing that truly made an impact, just enough to bring home "the bread" as Chase says.
