The 78-year-old comedian finally addressed allegations that it was too difficult to work with him on the sets of “Saturday Night Live” and the TV series “Community”.
In an interview with CBS Sunday MorningChase explained how it didn’t bother him when he heard that his former co-workers had had bad experiences while working with him.
“I guess you should ask them. I don’t care!” he laughed.
“I am who I am. And I love where—who I am.” He continued. “It’s a part of me that I don’t care. And I’ve thought about that a lot. And I don’t know what to tell you, man. I just do not care “.
The “Caddyshack” actor played the die-hard wealthy dude Pierce Hawthorne on the NBC sitcom “Community” for four seasons. He left in 2012 after entering into serious confrontation With creator Dan Harmon. However, Chase appeared in the first episode of season five.
