US EditionChevy Chase's Daughter Says 'Community' Crew Heckled Him at Wrap Party
The documentary details a 2012 racial incident on the Community set involving Chevy Chase and a subsequent production halt that led to his exit after season 4.
- On Jan. 1, CNN premiered I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not, where Jay Chandrasekhar says he witnessed Chevy Chase's firing and a `full meltdown` after the reported use of the N-word.
- Chandrasekhar says tensions arose from a blackface hand puppet scene and disputes over Pierce Hawthorne's direction, including racially insensitive remarks to co-star Yvette Nicole Brown.
- Someone leaked the incident to The Hollywood Reporter, prompting a production halt before a profane voicemail and a wrap party where Dan Harmon led a cast confrontation.
- Chase left after the headline-making incident and a feud with Dan Harmon, departing Community after season 4 and returning briefly before Pierce Hawthorne was killed off in season 5.
- Documentarian Marina Zenovich says almost no one from Community agreed to appear, securing Jay Chandrasekhar as a key voice, while Caley Chase's account of an eight-day coma humanizes the film.
