I'd be happier if he left the planet, but I guess that's a different kind of contract.
Chevy Chase is leaving Community. Too little too late if you ask me.
Please tell me he's going to die in all the fires.

Out of order?
That's what they say. Hollywood Reporter.
I so won't miss Chevy. Pierce is less likeable than either Rygel or Jayne Cobb.
From what little I've seen of the show, there were SS officials more cuddly than that character. Was he written that horrible right from the start, or did the writers start incorporating Chase's personality after exposure to it?
He's always been horrible, although the worst is probably in season 2. Still, he really never gets a lot better.
From the way I read about this it doesn't seem like there's going to be that big of a difference. He quit when everything but 2 shows were filmed. There's only 13 episodes so that's still 11 episodes with Chase.
Someone in the Hollywood Reporter comments (or possibly an addendum to the article) proposed that they just recast Pierce for those two episodes, and no one notices except Abed.
