Why Chevy Chase Was BANNED from SNL 

😂🤣 I liked it

shut up 😅

Even better if he owned one

😂😂😂

Butthole bazookas

I'm a dick because I call people out, it happens.

I love that song and the video my daughter's name is Alana and I showed her that when she was called Little Al as a child❤

I used to think art garfunkel was 6'10"

It was when I was about 10 and I didn't really know who Chevy Chase was, I'm Scottish. My Dad played Graceland all the time and I knew Simon and Garfunkle songs like Feeling Grovey and Like a Bridge , so when I first saw the video I just assumed he had made the song with Garfunkle 😁

I thought he was Paul Simon when I saw that music vid!

​@clayton5584 😂 Until you found out that Paul Simon was just a hobbit

Completely agree. Came here to learn something and came away learning f*ck all.

Click bait.

​@@segarnyagold1014😆 😅

Shur u did bud

I met people like Ray Charles and james brown among others .not really that amazing to believe this commentor worked at chevys home.it happens,theyre just people.

I-play-the-butt-bongos-for-Cheech-N-Chongs-band-so-there

Whooof... what a relief. I was worried for a minute

Did he perform the national lampoons sandwich dance for you?

You apparently didn't pay attention...

NOPE, he was fired for being a colossal asshole.

​@@roykilling2496True. And he wasn't funny either.

SNL...is a woke garbage lack of any content thang.

@@markwildt5728 pot - meet kettle....

Awwww! What a wonderful story! 😲🙂

Oh Wow.

Thank you for sharing that, my dad and I have watched him together he's always made us laugh multiple times.❤❤❤

​@@americangirl8535yes!! Chevy is hilarious we absolutely love his movies!!!

Wow! ❤❤❤

Then when he returned to host , he and Bill got into a fight, right?

@@MrMovielover17 lol! Yeah. They Really didn't like each other. But they were perfect together in Caddyshack. Great movie.

@bryanjwilkens heard their scene in caddyshack was all bill and chevy during what they do best. No script needed.

@@MrMovielover17 that makes sense. I could totally see that. They might not like each other, but they're still professionals.

When One QUITS, They don't have to go through ADMINISTRATIVE Questions OF "Why"...So that's why Heavy QUIT: To AVOID Questions. Which begs the question: WHAT DID HE DO?

Chevy had voluntarily left the show to move out of State and get married. He never regretted it especially after getting movie roles.

Yeah most times I've heard negative things about him its been people whove worked with him. Maybe he's a really nice guy just very opinionated about comedy and his work.

Could be work related

His humor is weird and I can see how some people,see that as rude.

He always cracked me up!

Brawling with Bill Murray doesn’t look good on a résumé

Three amigos is amongst the worst movies ever made

Horrible ​@@no834

​@@no834for what it was- hilarious. You think that cast was there for anything but a laugh?

Modern problems

​@@karlfonner7589and Funny Farm. "Seems people just don't have a taste for testicle no more. "

He didn't do anything in the first few seasons other then say "live from NY it's SNL". He didn't even do any sketches until like 3 seasons in. Also he did it the exact same way everytime. He would fall then blink heavily while saying his lines

​​@@xR0N1NxThank you. He was a water boy. He aint even funny

*Norm Macdonald was the GOAT!*

​@@rose4490The greatest ol' lump of coal to sit behind the Weekend Update desk of them all!

I'm not really sure you can say that they fired Norm. He intentionally kept doing the things they told him not to do, it's probably more accurate to say that he quit on Lorne's timetable.

Chris Farley was fired, Bill Hader was fired... Utterly ridiculous

Snl wouldn't have sucked so bad for so many years if they kept them around

He was Chevy Chase, and we weren’t.

Bro he was a coke head with a big ego. Go read about the stories of Chevy Chase on the set of Caddyshack. Everybody on set could not stand the guy 😂

@kmac1766 watch the interview on carson between chase and Pryor chase is a conceded asshole, he thinks he was the world's funniest man, but he wasn't that's why he was mad at Richard because he was alot funnier than Chevy

@@gdawgs101 exactly right

Hot take, 1975 to present

That’s an understatement. It’s the opposite of funny. It’s an embarrassment.

Wasn't great, just new. And, we only had like three channels back in those days.

@@DoctorRevers So sick of hearing that If you don't like it don't watch It simple

@@SherrieMonica I don’t like it. So I don’t watch it. Cause it’s terrible.

I liked him to, but a co star, announced on a late show, that when he met Chevy, He said hello, and Chevy just punched him in the face.

I am not sure why you refer to him in past tense, he is still alive, no?

@@slaapliedje I mean his career acting in his movies died. I saw some negative videos about what he was like to work with. I noticed his movie career took off and people who liked his work enjoyed it very much. I saw his TV work and the only thing about that was he seems condescending in his method of joking. I think those who make these "after your career" type stories, don't actually interview the actor or understand his comedy the way he means it. He always had a presence that surpassed others, so I think he is physically dominating, and being educated, and we'll to do, he gives off a persona that works as a thread, maybe, through his work. I like him, and I have some of his work yet to see.

Word!

Any list without Carlin or Hicks is a charade

What the hell is an OG ?

@@petebaron4643 , Original Gangsters of comedy.

You forgot Don Rickles, Rodney Dangerfield, and Sam Kinneson.

He is decended from very upper class East Coast ancestry.

What do you expect, he was raised that way ! There a lot more people out there that are probably far more arrogant than he. It's funny, they always want to bring up racial issues, but no one ever brings up the utter contempt the upper class has for average people, they regard us as animals. It may not be about race, but it is no different. It's exactly the same mentality. But they are the ones controlling the media, so they tend to keep racial strife up in order to keep the spotlight off of them and their horrifically disgusting behavior.

At least he has the chops to be snobby.

@@rose4490 Literal billionaires. They owned Castle Hill in Massachusetts, which is larger than the mansions in Newport, RI.

It's the same thing despite your attempts at grammar gymnastics to claim it's not.

@dukecraig2402 SNL is still on and Chevy has nothing to do with it, so I'm correct despite your being a smart alleck!

@@aisforapple2494 No, you're not correct, and you're the one who tried being smart with words just to have it blow up in your face, and then throw a tantrum.

Nobody asked you Cleetus ​@@dukecraig2402

It would make sense. Some other commenter said they installed a music studio at his house.

I think it's hard for people to keep up with comedy and the times. Comedy typically is a younger person's game. When he had that t v show not too too long ago I laughed but mainly so due to my bias.

Hasn't been funny in about 40 years

Haven't watched a single episode since the mid-90s.

Mid 90s were OK. I liked it it was funny. Some good episodes in 96 97.98. I liked 78 79 and the 80s. Mostly.

​@@benseabolt1939then how would you know anything about it? You are the least qualified person to be talking about SNL

Let me guess, their Trump impressions hurt your feelings.

I just said that. Comedy is typically a young person's game, And unless you change with the times, it's hard to have the newer generations think you are funny. I forgot about his tv show interviewing.

*It's a song about an old Welsh witch.* 🧙🏻‍♀️

@@rose4490 You are correct. A short time later, about 10-feet from where I sat in Chevy's convertible, I met the entire Fleetwood Mac band. At the time, they were going around the country, promoting their _TUSK_ album. The two women in the group (Christine and Stevie) were having a blast constantly repeating a "sound" effect that they do during a song called _My Little Demon._ They kept doing... "rRrRrOOooo!!... _rrr rrr rrr_ ROOoOoOooo!!" ...which sounded like a bunch of hounds, tied up in a barnyard. Mick Fleetwood told me that, for the first time ever, he would actually be singing during one of the songs. Stevie told me about her personal make-or-break struggle to independently write her first truly monumental song, which I think was _Landslide._ She told me about her early days, when she was absolutely fed-up with working as a waitress. This naturally led to all the members of the band talking to me about the band's early days, and how, at one point, they were nearly at each other's throats. All in all, they seemed really happy to have put their bad days behind them, and to have observed, all across the country, how popular and well-received their _TUSK_ song was.

⁠@@JohnBerry-q1h whoa. cool story bro. 😒 tell us another one.

@@peternorton5648 Well, I have a similar story about the night (actually, about 2am in the morning) when Bruce Springsteen showed-up at my truck-stop. Again, while talking to Bruce, I learned a new word. Here's what happened... I'm just coming out of the Men's Room at my truck-stop, and straightening my uniform (which looked really sharp; it was tailored very well; it made me look sort of like I was an officer in the US Air Force), when walking right across my path, and headed for the restaurant section, was Bruce Springsteen. He was so drunk, he could barely stand up, let alone walk. The moment he saw me, he said "Hold out yer hand!" So I did. He put $1 in my palm, and told me to go outside and gas-up his limousine. I snickered a little bit, and headed straightway for his limo. Outside, parked right at the FULL SERVICE gas pumps, was a long, black limousine. Standing patiently at the rear of the car was the rather portly chauffeur. I asked him "How are we going to do this? It's my job to put gas in the car." Not missing a beat, the chauffeur said "...and it's _my_ job to handle the car!" So we took turns. The chauffeur removed the gas cap, and I inserted the pump nozzle. When I finished filling the tank, I removed the nozzle, and the chauffeur replaced the gas cap. I then walked back over to my attendant's shed. About 10 minutes later, holding two cans of beer, Bruce came outside, looking to find me. He came over to my shed, handed me a beer, and told me to drink a toast with him. We drank to the sentiment... NEVER SURRENDER! Then Bruce asked me a bunch of questions about my view of the world, and he brought up the topic of wars (WW2, Korea, Viet Nam), and somehow, we got talking about my Dad. I told Bruce that my Dad was draft-age, and had just graduated high school, when the Korean War broke out. I told Bruce that my Dad didn't have to fight in the war, because he instead was permitted to work for a nearby dairy farmer, endlessly tending to and milking the dairy cows. Bruce then said, "Oh!... yer dad got a deferment!" I then asked "What's a deferment?" Bruce then explained to me that the military would forego drafting someone for various reasons, one of which included claiming that you were the only worker on a dairy farm. So, you see, in your travels in this world, you can suddenly find yourself learning new things, including words that you have never heard before, from the darndest situations, and in the course of the darndest chance meetings. By the way, the reason Bruce showed-up at my truck-stop was because he had just finished performing at the Carrier Dome (in Syracuse NY), and back in those years, my truck-stop was the only "late night" place to stop at, for about 80 miles, in any direction.

Lol, like you would have had the chance. And if you did, you would drop to your knees and ball wash to secure your spot. You're not fooling anyone

That sucks man.

That skit was cryingly hilarious!

said one of the most irrelevant people around lol

@@AlaborJinta but I'm not trying to act Chevy had not done anything good for decades at this point......and nothing since....and I'm very relevant in my field a pioneer because unlike Chevy I'm not rude racist and generally unlikable...andvthat from a true fan.

​@@swizzlegrowerracist? According to who? A blak racist wannabe comic? A woke pc thin skin lib? Who? Richard Pryor never thought so.

Ill be honest, never seen a single episode of Community.

@@youngconfidence8666too bad, it’s fun, but nothing is for everyone

lol ik right???Wtf

Too/to/two… heterographs!

And yet...finished what needed to be said...what a coincidence. Buy a meter...and just watch it.

Dude, make your attention span longer or get medicated, friendly advice.

@@pinacoleadas1912 you the one who make it look weird.

@@pinacoleadas1912 damn, nigga dont be so sensitive . He talking to long

@@pinacoleadas1912 crazy americans looks nonsense 3-7 second video for 50 seconds and try to be clever, harassing other people , when they give kind advice.

@@pinacoleadas1912 take your puberty blockers and chill, I gave good advice.

Agreed!! Love him! I have been watching him since the 70's!! My husband and children and I have always enjoyed Chevy! So many laughs and good memories with my family watching Chevy! My late husband looked very similar to him!!❤❤ ❤😂😂😂😂
