"Community&amp;#039;s Dan Harmon has apologised for the furore created by comments he made about Chevy Chase. The NBC comedy&amp;#039;s creator claimed that Chase was drunk when he left an offensive voicemail message on Harmon&amp;#039;s phone, playing the message to a crowd at monthly comedy event Harmontown in Los Angeles.   &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Community&amp;#039; - Dan Harmon Q&amp;amp;A: &amp;#039;Our fans influence the show&amp;#039; Harmon wrote on his blog that he regrets his actions, saying: &amp;quot;It was [at Harmontown], months ago, that I made the horrible, childish, self-obsessed, unaware, na\u00EFve and unprofessional decision to play someone&amp;#039;s voicemail to me. He didn&amp;#039;t intend for 150 people to listen and giggle at it, and I didn&amp;#039;t intend for millions of people to read angry reports about it.  &amp;quot;I was doing what I always do, and always get in trouble for doing, and always pay a steep price for doing. I was thinking about myself and I was thinking about making people laugh. I was airing my dirty laundry for a chuckle. I ask people at those shows repeatedly to please think twice about YouTubing clips of it because it doesn&amp;#039;t play well outside the back of a comic book store.&amp;quot; Harmon continued: &amp;quot;I always accept the risk that a well-intending fan will upload clips and something scandalous will break wide, but the giant mistake I made was involving someone else in that game of Russian roulette, someone that didn&amp;#039;t have an opportunity to say, &amp;#039;Yeah, hilarious, let&amp;#039;s do this&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;That was a dumb, unclassy, inconsiderate move on my part. I&amp;#039;m very sorry it&amp;#039;s reflecting poorly on the show.&amp;quot; Harmon added that he was not trying to excuse his behaviour, writing: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s important to me that you not mistake this for someone thinking they&amp;#039;re making it better, or explaining that they&amp;#039;re actually a swell person. I&amp;#039;m explaining that you&amp;#039;re right, I&amp;#039;m a bonehead, and it sucks, it blows up in my face on a regular basis.  &amp;quot;I put an unhealthy amount of stock in the opinions of strangers, that&amp;#039;s exactly what makes me do stupid things, and, poetically, that&amp;#039;s what makes the punishment so effective... So, when you see me not talking about this, it&amp;#039;s not because I&amp;#039;m trying to get away with something, it&amp;#039;s because the more I say, the worse it gets.  &amp;quot;This is a topic that is driving ad sale revenue for a week but causing my favorite people in the world - Community fans - distress. So my desire, like yours, is to wait for it to pass.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
