Chevy Chase on Letterman
Wonder what he's plugging his book about child abuse or how unfunny he thinks the current castmembers of SNL are.
|
I didn't get that at all. However, he seemed very uncomfortable..
|
He usually does. Remember what he said to the reporter who asked him to comment on Gerald Ford's passing?
Chevy Chase, as a comedian, is no longer relevant. |
Who?
|
If I was going to make a list of celebrities who seem to be the most unhappy and have the biggest bug up their @$$, Chevy Chase might be at the top.

I will say that Chevy Chase is definitely an expert on what's not funny, so maybe the SNL comment has some credibility.
|
bitter old man
|
He's also looking pretty rough.

Chase has basically alienated everybody he's every known or worked with. Comedy Central did a roast of him a few years ago, and most of the roasters were young comics who hadn't even met him before.

Loraine Newman was the only person from his SNL days (or year) at the roast.

"I'm just a guy who made some fun of Gerald Ford in 1976 and I prefer to be left alone, really," the 63-year-old comedian told Reuters this week from a Colorado ski resort where he had been skiing with his daughter. Chase, who has starred in many Hollywood film comedies and written for television shows, said he gets upset when people say that Ford "made" his career. "The man who 'made my career' did not do 'Fletch,' did not do 'Caddyshack,' did not write for the 'Smothers Brothers' before he wrote for 'Saturday Night Live,' did not write for 12 years before that and win Writers Guild awards. "It's that kind of thing that comes out in the press that perpetuates myths about me that are disgusting, that hurt my feelings, that hurt my family's feelings." But since Ford's death at age 93 on Tuesday, Chase has declined interview requests from the nation's top newspapers and television news programs, which have repeatedly played excerpts of his old skits. "He did not make my career," said Chase, who spoke to Reuters twice this week by telephone. "If anything, I took his career and put it in the dumper because I did not want him to be president of this country, that's the way it really should be written."

Several Bush detractors present at the event distanced themselves from Chase's comments, with Norman Lear remarking, "he'll live with it, I won't". Oh, a tad. |
I like the guy.
But maybe it's because I find him funny in the Vacation movies and both Fletch movies. Funny Farm, also. I guess it's because I don't have to be his friend. |

Chase also has been quoted as saying about George W. Bush, Bitter? Chevy Chase? Oh, a tad. Doc |

Isn't Chevy Chase the most hated member of the comedic entertainment field anyways?

I think that award goes to Carlos Mencia. Chevy is pretty irrelevant nowadays. |

If the old liberal whipping boy Norman Lear is distancing himself from your Bush-bashing, maybe you ought to rethink your comments. However accurate they were, they were very bitter in tone and in intent. Chevy's apparently never been advised of a little thing called "take the high road" in his comments to the media. And no, he hasn't been funny since Christmas Vacation. At all. |
