Chevy Chase’s “Community” college days are OVER … the actor has struck a deal to leave the NBC sitcom … effective immediately. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chase didn’t quit … nor was he fired … but it was a “mutual decision” between the actor and producers.
FYI — producers have already shot the majority of the upcoming season … and Chase will remain in those episodes. It’s unclear if Chase’s exit will be explained on the show … or if it will simply go on as if Pierce Hawthorne never existed. The move comes as no surprise — Chase has been very critical of the show … and famously left a nasty voicemail for creator Dan Harmon … basically telling him that he sucks.
