"Why was Chevy Chaer banned? It turns out he did something" thank you for this enlightening short

[jasonkeller]

Is it a coincidence that the opposite of Chevy Chase is Ford escape 😂😂😂

[tattoodude]

Way to say absolutely nothing. Basically, the whole video is, "There are unconfirmed rumors he is a difficult person." No quotes to back it (actual quotes to the contrary though) and no evidence whatsoever. Why was this made? 🤣

[Qui-Dad-Jinn]

Chevy quit, he wasn't fired. He also only worked the first season and was promptly replaced with Bill Murray.

Met him back in the late 80s as a kid on a plane. I was flying alone (1st time) and I was like 8 or 9 years old. He was on that flight and he was totally nice to me.

I loved his movies and I remember him making me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes. He took me from being scared to a different place. Never forgot him for that

[dennismoodymusic]

I worked at Chevy’s home recording studio for about 8 months working on a project for a friend of his. I saw Chevy almost everyday. He’s fine. Never had a stressful moment with him.

[VaderPopsVicodin]

He's one of the main reasons for SNL even having a second season.

[DoctorRevers]

Norm MacDonald was fired. Adam sandler was fired. David spade was fired. What the hell are you talking about?

[Rydonattelo]

When i was a kid i thought he was Art Garfunkle because of the " Call me Al " music video.

[cosmiccowboy]

There has been lots of people fired fro SNL. I’ve met Chevy a couple times and he was super nice to me and others

[jasonwhite]

Fletch, vacation, 3 amigos, caddyshack, he waa hilarious.

[jaimealviar]

Met Chevy Chase several times. I always heard he was rude and mean. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Love watching Chevy and his family on tiktok...ive loved Chevy since the 70's when i was a grade schooler

[thomasmixson]

I worked on Fletch Set with Chevy. No problems on set....we were waiting to be called to take places, and a small band group waited to play on set in the old Plantation house. Chevy not speaking, in a stoic pose, began to play the standing baby grand piano. The band started to follow his lead. In but a moment they were really "ROCKING".. He was a gentleman and easy to work with

[martyguy]

He wasn't ever left to pursue acting.

[GigGgles]

he wasnt just a cast member, he helped create it

[xenotbbbeats]

I still remember his very short-lived and very funny talk show. It was the only talk show that was actually funny and to this day, I don't know why they canceled it. He had some young star I had never heard of as a guest. The kid was so full of himself. Chevy had his chin on his palm, which rested on his desk, and he appeared enwrapped in the conversation as the ladies in the audience cooed. Chevy asked his guest what the hardest thing about being famous was, to which the young man replied, "Before I was famous, nobody listened to a thing I said. It was like I was invisible." Chevy continued to stare awkwardly without saying a word. Finally, the young man broke the silence to get a response to what he had said about fame. Chevy acted as if woken from a trance and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn’t hear what you said." I never laughed so hard watching a talk show. The audience exploded with laughter. That's when I realized Chevy Chase was a comedic genius.

He has a reported reputation for being hard to deal with .
But is it really true?
He did continually get hired for movies and starred in them.
His family was well to do I hear, and he was educated.
Opinions vary.
As you may expect. His sense of humor was quite nice to a lot of fans.
Fletch had me LMAO.

[GuitarManYT]

He’s still one of my favorite actors! Not everyone gets his dry sense of humor. But that’s what I love about him!!! 😂

[kmac]

Chevy was a delight. Others were jealous
