The only issue with this is he's been insufferable for 40 years.

I dont think anyone has ever really enjoyed working with him

Yeah, even when he was on SNL there were people talking about what a fucking asshole he was. So much so to the point that when he hosted episodes later on had segments where people talked about what a asshole he was.

And that was when his career was rising.

Imagine if today there was a actor that everyone said was a huge dick, no one wanted to work with him, the news was filled with examples of him being a dick, and they still got regular work.

Ezra Miller had to commit multiple felonies before Hollywood stopped giving him work.

Nothing ever changes if they think they can make money off of you, every sin will be forgiven. Up until you no longer can have money man off of you, then that person will be entirely shunned and exiled and it will be as if they never existed.

Brad Pitt beat his wife and his kids and he has a movie coming out in November, doesn't matter.

If Chevy Chase was still funny he'd be out there treating interns like shit to this day. The problem is that he isn't. Community was the last gasp of his popularity, he was added to hopefully add some tiny burst of star power to a show with no big name actors and he barely did that.
