Ugh, I hope that doesn't have negative ramifications for the show. That's kinda...I don't want to think about stuff like that happening on my favourite sitcom, but I do feel something akin to schadenfreude that Chase is involved. However, I can't quite wrap my head around what Harmon is doing.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like Harmon is really taking the high road.

Now, is he pulling other people in because he's that arrogant that he thinks they'll flock to him, or is it common knowledge on set and everyone feels that way?
Either way, it's not grownup behaviour, but it does make a small difference.

Either way, doing it in front of Chase's wife and daughter seems pretty far over the line.

Maybe he was including them too. That would be the nice...no, there's really no way around that. I just wanna know if this is feud, or Chevy is a long-time dick on set, and Dan snapped and started acting like an asshole (or maybe he's been being an asshole too for a while--who knows?).
However, I do feel a little "aha!" at my feeling that the boisterous free-flowing dynamic that the cast has in appearances and stuff seems stilted when Chevy's around, but I can't really say if that's confirmation bias or not.

Thrive to spite them
I thought Chevy Chase had a reputation for being difficult and boorish.

He does. I'm surprised at the exec producer leading a chorus of profanity-laced invective against the guy with his daughter present, but the fact that Chase could make someone want to do that surprises me not one whit.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
right? but I guess if an actor prevented me from filming a season (and perhaps series) finale the way I wanted to, I might want to do all sorts of things.
here's hoping better angels preside.

I had heard the same thing, askye, but I at least thought he knew how to give an interview. All the ones I found skimming for context make him sound pretty assholish. Like, not reports, but actually quotes of his words. Disdainful and clueless.
I'd like to separate him more from his character, but he's not making it easy. At least he's not racist. But he is patronising towards the women on the cast.
