Chevy Chase joins NBC's 'Community'Role marks his first potential full-time primetime series gigMarch 15, 2009, 11:00 PM ET
"Saturday Night Live" alum Chase has been tapped to co-star on the NBC comedy pilot "Community," marking his first potential full-time primetime series gig. The Sony-produced "Community," which is being 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. Chase -- whose next movie, "Stay Cool," premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival -- is repped by Fortitude and Kritzer/Levine/Wilkins.
