Why Chevy Chase Fought Bill Murray When He Returned to Host “Saturday Night Live” (2008)

Chevy Chase tells Howard what led to his fight with Bill Murray when he returned to host “Saturday Night Live.”


Want to know what's going on with Howard Stern in the future?

This is the most real and honest side of Chevy I have ever seen.

[dwainsummers]

If Chevy was this honest & humble all the time, he'd be more likable.

The fact that John Belushi started it and tried to stop it makes it funny as hell. 😂

I love to hear Chevy correct Howard Stern when he states it was Ackroyd that was the real genius on SNL not Belushi. Dan Ackroyd has always been so underrated.

When you have a bunch of people on cocaine trying to accomplish something together
There’s going to be problems

Bill and Chevy’s scene together in Caddyshack is probably the best comedic exposition on film, though! Their bizarre chemistry was oddly brilliant.

"we have played golf together"

yep it was called Caddyshack.

Thank you Chevy for acknowledging the genius of Dan Aykroyd.

People are always more appealing when they are self deprecating. Chevy early on had a difficult time with that. This was refreshing.

Many have said Dan Ackroyd was the funniest behind the scenes, great talent.

[TonysWorldAdventure]

Always great to see Chevy. Even better to see him being open and humble.

Definitely a legend!

The two bits of this story I remember, told by a third party, are that in the physical encounter such as it was, Chevy probably had the upper hand. But as Bill retreated, he yelled at Chevy, "Medium talent!" A line that is, in my opinion, every bit as good as a TKO.

Damnit haha I thought they were both in the studio from the thumbnail. 😤

I'd love to hear Bill Murray's take on it.

This was a great interview. I have met Bill Murray twice in St Paul, MN since he owns the Saints, a minor league baseball team. Murray is always in character when you meet him, funny as we hell, signs baseballs for fans, and I always wondered if they got along with Chevy, now we know!

[hellfish]

I love the landscape of this story, where Belushi is the chaotic neutral stirring shit up but taking the lumps

[slavmeister]

Thank you, Howard for inviting Chevy Chase into the studio and talking about this. For a while now, I felt there was an ongoing animosity between Chevy and Bill Murray.

[LGABC]

The best story I remember hearing about that time was Bill Murray calling Chevy Chase a "medium talent". It works on so many levels.

[Oh-Hi-]

I love all of them equally, John, Chevy, Dan, Steve, Bill.

[StepForwardToday]

Howard SHOULD invite both of them on to talk about this together and finally show everyone that they're cool. Fans would love this!
Make it happen Gary
