Chevy Chase Returns To NBC In Community Pilot

Saturday Night Live alumni Chevy Chase has been cast to co-star on the NBC comedy pilot Community, marking his first potential full-time primetime series role. The show, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, is described as Stripes at a community college. It centers on Jeff (Joel McHale), a lawyer who is back in school after his college degree is deemed invalid. Chase will play another student at the community college who has been married five times. Chase did a multiepisode arc on ABC’s Brothers & Sisters and also will recur on NBC’s Chuck later this season.
