Dan Harmon, showrunner for the show Community, was fired from the show after the third season, following a famous feud with actor Chevy Chase. Harmon has rejoined Community for season 5, and he has even made amends with Chase.
Harmon admits hitting a low point during his work on the NBC comedy. In an interview between Harmon and the Hollywood Reporter, “I wanted to kill myself constantly constantly,” he said. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that every single day, I was the reason why everyone above me and everyone below me had a problem … I came in going: ‘Nobody’s gonna tell me how to do this. I don’t care how your system does it.’ And they had a very legitimate complaint, which was, ‘We’re being paid a huge amount of money to help you, and you’re locking yourself in your office.'”
Despite this, Harmon and the rest of the cast are excited for his return to Greendale. Both Joel McHale and Jim Rash have expressed their relief for Harmon’s return during interviews.
Even better, Chase told THR that he and Harmon have made amends.
“Dan and I are friends again,” he said. “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.”
