At least that's what McHale told PEOPLE after Chase bashed Community for about the 100th time during an appearance on Marc Maron's WTF podcast. Community just was "not funny enough" for him, Chase said, noting "I just didn't want to be surrounded by that table every day with those people." McHale (one of "those people") had heard that one — and worse — before. So why get hot and bothered by telling Chevy Chase off when there was a much better way to get back at him? | | | | | The late Milton Berle was a TV legend who owes an unlikely debt of gratitude to Steven Seagal. If it wasn't for the humorless action star's horrific hosting turn on Saturday Night Live in 1991, it might be the man once known as Mr. Television who'd be remembered as the worst host in the show's history. | It's not hard to understand why Lorne Michaels booked the guy. In the early days of television, Berle hosted the comedy-variety show Texaco Star Theater, a Tuesday night powerhouse that garnered as much as 97 percent of the viewing audience. His show was so dang popular that some restaurants and theaters would shut it down for the night when Berle was on — they just couldn't compete. | | | ![](https://beehiiv-images-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/asset/file/98476b08-c5f0-44af-8af1-27da120ce8d5/997234_320x180.jpg?t=1703773872) | 30 of the Funniest Tweets from December 27, 2023 |
