Chevy Chase Is Sick Of Playing A Bigot, Drops The N-Word To Try To Prove His Point

I don't even want to know if that's a semi-automatic butt baton in Chevy Chase's hand. But judging by that outfit he's wearing....

Everybody on the set of Community was sent home early yesterday after Chevy Chase threw another one of his signature rants. Even though Chevy's arch rival Dan Harmon was put on the curb a long time ago, Clark Griswold is still not happy about the way things are going on Community. TVLine says that while shooting a scene with his cast mates including Donald Glover and Yvette Nicole Brown, Chevy nearly blew his nipples off while screaming about how his character has gone from bigot to BIGOT with a capital everything. Chevy didn't like some of the words on the page and dropped the n-word from his tongue during his rant. Deadline has a few more details about this mess:

After getting fed more lines he found offensive during a scene yesterday, I hear he snapped and launched the tirade, airing his frustration and suggesting that the way things with Pierce are going, he may next be asked to call Troy (Glover) or Shirley (Brown) the N-Word. I hear the outburst upset the cast. Chase later apologized. The racial content of his tirade does appear out of character for Chase, who once marched in the civil rights movement, but the blowup itself is not. Chase is known for having a short fuse and storming off the set of Community in the middle of a scene if he is not happy with the script.

Meanwhile, the writers and producers of Community made a mental note to themselves: "If we really want to get rid of Chevy Chase by making him explode out of the ceiling of the studio, make his character say the n-word while wearing an 'I Heart Dan Harmon' crop top tank."

This from the same brain trust who left after the first season of SNL. Chase is not too sharp in the brains department.

Chase's character Pearce is also an elitist, misogynistic, pill-popping, rude baffoon, but I guess Chevy's ok with those character traits. lol!

If he had said "next they will have me saying ________" that would be an example of an offensive thing he didn't want to say. When he looks at two black co-stars and announces in front of the group that he won't call them that word, he's trying to put them down and make himself look like a wonderful white liberal at the same time. It's very offensive to them.

So, there is a threat of violence implied--That doesn't address the fundamental hypocracy here. I never said the n-word should be said at all, I said it is ridiculous to claim the word is offensive depending on the race of who says it. That is simply the dictionary definition of racism.
___________________________________

Well, I'd believe you except I doubt you've ever tried to protest anyone saying the n-word unless it's to use it as an excuse why others can say it. That's exactly the point you're making. If you really don't like it write to Interscope records and ask why a white record company sells all these negative racial stereotypes.

Look, I can get behind Chase not wanting his character to be so racist. But there are ways to communicate and ways NOT to communicate.
I think that if Chase wasn't such a self-important asshole, he could have made his concerns known and understood without offending others. The guy's a fucking prima donna.

The guy may be a douche but I don't get the problem with what he said here. I don't think it's fair to say "He knew what the character was when he signed on so he needs to shut up." Obviously he feels the character has changed and in ways he doesn't approve of.
-------------------------------------------------
Exactly! The N word is so charged people lose their shit and objectivity when the read anything about.

People are freaking out on Chevy because he DOESN'T want his character to be such a bigot...Really?

Chevy felt passionately about the direction they were taking his character and he used the N word as an exclamation point to show his DISGUST! Good for him! The other actors are grown ups and aren't going to bust into flames simply hearing a guy use the N word.

Actors bitch about the direction of their characters all the time, what he did was nothing new. Chevy used the N word to defend a principal you'd think more people would agree with not condemn him on.

Obviously he feels the character has changed and in ways he doesn't approve of. I think if a show is going to be any good,you want the actors to think about what they're doing, to be invested in the characters and to speak up when they feel that characterization is being replaced with caraciture. The use of the n-word was so plainly made in protest that the headline used here is disingenuous in the extreme.

**************************

I wish he had spoke up more when he starred in Vegas Vacation.

This guy is an asshole. If he weren't an asshole, I might be more sympathetic to his plight.

Bigots don't change over night, so if he thinks his character should have some sort of epiphamy and suddenly see the light, that's not changing it for the better.

It sounds like typical Chevy Chase shenanigans. He wants to rehab his character.

unemployed_bum's picture

Maybe the guys in charge should listen to Chevy's ideas once in a while because this show is not funny. I have tried watching it numerous times because Entertainment Weekly treats it like the second coming of Christ. Each time the laughs are far and few. I sometimes wonder if Chevy's tantrums aren't a publicity stunt to keep the media talking about the show.

Not for nothing, but Chevy Chase should STFU and be DAMN grateful for Community, which basically resurrected his career from the dead.
Six years ago, I was working for a hospitality temp agency part-time. All State Insurance was celebrating it's 70 year anniversary over a few days in Chicago. One day, they took over Millenium Park for the day and evening. After dinner, Elton John performed solo.
The MC for this event was none other than Chevy Chase. It was pathetic how they ran scenes from "Fletch" and the "Vacation" movies on the screen behind him, so that people would know who he was.
He's lucky to have a gig at all - and especially one on such a good show. He probably hates Joel McHale because he's a young, handsome, funny leading man, which Chase will never be again.

I don't understand why NBC has such little love for Community. And Chase has always been asshole.

Community started out as a really great, subtly subversive sitcom which the compulsive Dan Harmon turned into a wank-fest. It has a tiny audience of screamy rabid fans, but has always had atrocious ratings. That's why NBC has no love for it.

And as someone down there said, one can be an asshole but not necessarily a racist asshole. Chase was trying to make a point but probably not in the most prudent way possible. He also didn't do it in public, so I wonder how this tidbit got out?

Whamo, sorry stepped out. Yeah it looked good, I'll have to see it when it's on again. hahaha You watching The Limey? Nice little movie. Terrence Stamp is really good in it. Just saw him in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert with Weaving and Pearce recently, lmao at all three! ;p

I agree with whover said he knew the character was a bigot when he got the part. If he doesn't like the character, get off the show. That being said, while I understand his rant, he didn't need to punctuate it as he did.
------------------------------------------------
He knew what his part was going to involve, he just used bigotry as an excuse to justify another meltdown. He's unprofessional and a grown man child.

Perhaps people reacted badly because he's a dick in other ways, but I seriously do not see what he did wrong here. I think he deserves a bit of kudos, honestly.

I've never watched the show, but if he's playing the role of a character who is a bigot, then what the fuck is he complaining about?

Having a hard time understanding why I should be mad at the guy for this. Yeah, he used THAT word to shock and offend people because he was personally offended by the bs he was expected to spew out as part of his job. I actually think he did the right thing. Take it to the extreme conclusion, and knock some sense into people. Sometimes that is what it takes.
