LARRY
KING: Why was
Chevy [Chase] so pissed?
JOEL MCHALE: He, as you may or may have not followed the saga, he did not want to be there. I mean, he said in every interview that he doesn't like the writing & he doesn't like the hours. So
...
KING: But he...it almost made & recreated his career, didn't
it? Chevy had kind of disappeared.
MCHALE: I mean, yeah, he was really funny on the show. I mean, I thought he as Pierce was really funny on the show. There's a couple episodes where he should have been nominated for a Khloe or an
Emmy.
KING: Why was he so mad?
MCHALE: I don't know. I think he did not like the hours & he kept saying he did not like the writing.
And I feel like maybe after three years of that & there was an incident that happened.
KING: What? I don't know so help me.
MCHALE: Oh. Well, he made some remarks that were deemed to be racist - a comment that he made. And I think that was kind of it.
KING: What was it like to...
MCHALE:
Good times. It was a fun night.
Great to be there. You guys should come by.
KING:
What is it like on the set when someone is unhappy?
MCHALE: Oh, fun!
Fun set.
KING: Just couldn't wait to get the work.
MCHALE: You're like, "What's gonna happen now?" This is great.
It's like a party with unhappy people. You know, he wasn't...
KING: He did the scenes, right?
MCHALE:
Yeah, I mean he would complain about the hours but the hours were the hours & they were very long...but that was the show.
KING: How did you get along with him?
MCHALE: I got along with him very well. He still texts me. I forward most of them to you & I don't know why you haven't responded again.
KING: You dance the dance then, right?
MCHALE: I dance the dance.
KING: Sony likes you, you like Chevy
...you sort of avoid any discord.
MCHALE: Well, it was more to...I mean, Chevy could be great sometimes.
