Chevy

Chris Kattan

Today's cast

Everyone since the original cast

Yep I’ve hear he is completely vile

Dan, Gilda, Garrett, Laraine, Lorne liked him.

Yeah, you can watch interviews about Community, they all pretty much confirm this.

@slider2699 he should be a bigger star than what he is. I saw an interview of him at his house after Community. It appears that he really has no idea that he was that hard to get along with. He just doesn't get it. He has three daughters and a wife that think the world of him. Clearly people have issues with him. It's just unfortunate for all around. His best episode on Community was the Dungeons and Dragons episode...Netflix removed it because Ken Jeong had blackface on to play a dark elf...a mythical creature and the episode gets pulled. I know I'm rambling. I like Chase...just wish he could get along better with others.

Chevy and I both liked this

Let's not forget his talk show! smh.

Might be the reason we don't see him anymore

Like Community. The cast is not discreet about how problematic he was.

Or that he’s old as fk

@@sandraandrews9907 It was terrible and short lived.

Bill is an awesome serious actor as well as a comedian. I love Chevy but read bunches about what an asshole he is.

@@CURIOSITYKILLEDTHE12 he does have that pretentious “I know I’m good looking, and I know I’m a better actor than you” look, in the 70s at least

Both of these guys are problems off screen.

Yeh, and "medium talent" was way overstating things.

Something is wrong when Norm McDonald and Bill Murry dislike You since everyone else thinks so highly of them.

@@jaylenbrownfan2112 haven't heard about lucy liu?

everybody

@@jaylenbrownfan2112 Murray is a huge ass pain people say. Look into the bio of Groundhog Day.

Well they're both just...the absolute worst

Top 5 people that don't like Chevy 1: Dan Harmon 2: Bill Murray 3: Terry Sweeny 4: Pete Davidson 5: Every film production studio from the 90s until today

Would there even be a list if it was for any SNL cast who liked Chase?

I was thinking similarly of Kattan.

or rather SNL Cast Members who hate Chevy Chase lmfao

Chris Kattan as well.

I heard people didn't really like him on Christmas vacation either but because it was in the 80s everyone was too scared to lose their career if they spoke out against him because he was the most famous actor on it

Anytime i see his name in a movie, i wonder how the hell they managed that?

Fletch and Caddyshack are excellent. Come on.

@@kentuckyjerk323 Those are great movies, I just think he’s saying he can’t stand how much of an asshole Chevy is so he won’t watch his work so he doesn’t have to see him. And the exception of Christmas Vacation isn’t just because it’s good movie, it’s probably because for most people that movie is tradition around the holidays. Can stomach Chevy for 2 hours a year to continue a tradition. I still watch stuff with Chevy, but even when I’m watching I occasionally catch myself thinking about how much of an asshole he is. Can kinda ruin the atmosphere of the movie or show you’re watching.

Same

Yes I’ve read he is difficult to work with. I think he is funny so disappointed to read that.

His own show flopped fast! Surprised that didn't cut his ego down to size.

Sean Gonzalez Wasn't Chevy Chase kicked off "Community" as well?

Indeed: anyone whose ever met Chevy Chase hates Chevy Chase.

*too many

The way Bill Murray has been in many critically acclaimed movies and Chevy Chase has not

They are both major douche bags

Chase was a legend.. he’d be a legend if not for the machine!!

light years beyond. chevy is lame

@@azayahferguson5222 what machine? The penultimate level of Ecco the Dolphin (Password: NNNNNNNN)?

Problem with him is that his constant breaking seemed too forced and staged!

Pete Davidson’s constant break is too much, also.

Leslie Jones too

The over-breaking was something that worked on the Carol Burnett Show. For some reason the Tim Conway / Harvey Korman breaking competition was not something that worked for SNL.

@@davidl570 that's why I don't like him. Comedians know that breaking gets cheap laughs and they don't respect it.

*would have or would’ve, NOT would of.

Murphy is still tops

@@billolsen4360 Mr Robinsons Neighborhood is still one of the best.

Yep, Spades cheap shot of Eddie was very ill thought.

but he had to actually be hired FOR the show, for that to happen.

Donald is seriously the sweetest guy on the planet, too.

Probably intimidated by his talent. Dudes a triple threat! An actor, comedian, and a fire rapper.. Chevy ain't shit and he knew it, you know?

Glover hasnt an ounce of Chevys talent

@@AngryPapaSmurf it's not about talent. It's being respectful of others and not being a racist shit Derek

@@sieekakhan6761 Odd, virtually every racist I know is black, with their white hating, perpetual victim rhetoric but hey, thats the current agenda from the woke marxists.

Spade is really funny in a couple of TV shows he did.

and Nora Dunn

Morgan just didn't like the Fallon breaking. I can understand that.

Yeah, my train of thought as well...

If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day long....you're the asshole. -Raylan Givens

@@gorillatwotwobravo exactly!!

@@SJ-ni6iy I’m sorry, although I understand the meaning behind what you said, not to mention that there will, without a doubt, be some people who will undeniably apply to that sentiment, it doesn't take any exceptional life experience, however, to understand and have an awareness of that particular notion not always being the case. Now, I'm not saying that in regards to Katan himself; I'm just simply speaking generally. Still, there are way more circumstances, and far more than people who stand by this specific sentiment seem to realize, where someone can end up like a magnet for attracting the wrong people to them and where they are not the one who “is the issue,” as you put, lol. I'm not saying, nor am I implying that you, yourself, do not know that. I figured that I would add this bit of insight into the mix since many people, in general, especially nowadays, tend to develop and latch onto some very extreme, “absolute,” so to speak, black and white, all or nothing, irrational, and relatively unrealistic beliefs, ways of thinking, perspectives of people, and so on, and there is no doubt in mind that someone would *[or already does]* take this statement as if it were the gospel and that there anytime there is a situation where someone specific has issues with several different people, that it is “always and explicitly,” as if etched into stone, that person who is the issue and “couldn't possibly” be the several other individuals ever, lol.

Not if all those people are assholes and you’re not. Just because people gang up doesn’t necessarily make them right.

@bipartisan on jenz lameness except women can be funny and frequently are, just like all the women on SNL now they are all multi-talented and funny.

I think Gene Wilder would disagree. And he was definitely a funny guy.

@Adam Mathis “Well now it’s just good, clean fun for me …and my uvula”. Still cracks me up.

@Not Robot Gee, I wonder why women haven't achieved as much credit in comedy or more leading roles? Maybe because the exact same idiotic sexism that you just spewed about women not quite being as funny as men still permeates the entire entertainment industry and affects who gets hired, who is given a shot, who has their career promoted, and who doesn't... The set of genitals you are born with has zero impact on your ability to be funny.

I think women can be as funny as men (I.e. Kate McKinnon,) but Gilda was the Gold Standard of funny women IMO.

MadTv rocked...I loved it.

Me too. I miss that show!

MAD TV was pretty great, Coach Hines was always my favorite character 😂

Loved MadTV. Definitely missed it when it was over.

In living color was also great.

Funny thing as well, David Spade was ordered to personally apologize to Eddie Murphy over the phone because of that joke by Lorne Michaels, and to reassure Murphy that he was "still funny".

It had only been 11 years at that point. He hosted in late 1984. But yes, Murphy had already said years before that he would never do SNL again. It turned out to be 35 years until his next appearance. Not never, but a pretty long time.

It's amazing how comedians can make fun of EVERYBODY else but the minute someone dares to make fun of THEM, they go ballistic!!

Murphy as a comedy talent has always been either disengaged lots of times or sometimes funny when he has a moment. And maybe that is a good thing. He does not overexpose himself and can go back to the spotlight during moments of inspiration.

Right and who exactly would Spade be without SNL, Farley and Sandler? He certainly was punching up.

He is just naturally funny. Has good timing. He was better in his younger days tho.

Coming to America 2 was awful. His old stuff is the best.

Norbit anyone?

He doesn’t have to put more material out there and he should not put more material out there because almost everything he does hurts his legacy. He has just as many films that are Bad as he does that are good. Bill Murray has practically nothing in his film career that is an embarrassment like some of Murphy’s.

I agree with you. Eddie is Legend . Been a fan of Eddie since SNL. Eddie was19 yrs old

Can be? Lmao. He IS a hack

Tracy is right. He makes everything about himself. I remember when he had Billy Joel as a guest on his show and he sang with Billy. Not as a joke but as a real duet. He essentially tried to upstage Billy and make it all about himself

Can he be anything BUT a hack? Also, it was like having a beavis & butthead laugh track, but unfunny, for every scene he was in.

When Fallon "broke" during the now-legendary cowbell sketch, it was the fakest thing in the world. Conversely, everybody who's worked with Bill Hader says that he's incredibly professional and is embarrassed when he breaks...which is why they constantly try to make him do it.

@@davidhill2020 Bill Hader is much better than Jimmy Fallon and is actually funny.

I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the word "drama queen". The only thing in this video is that Tracy Morgan didn't like him breaking up in sketches. That's not drama queen. Morgan has done Fallon's show over 11 times so obviously there's no drama there.

norm was homophobic and thought chris was gay, so he treated him like shit.

@@bsquared4604 lmfao not what happened at all but if it helps ya sleep at night

@@bsquared4604 No, he did that because he thought Chris was closeted and not willing to accept he was gay, which would have made Chris act out, harrass female celebrities, and being unhappy with himself. Norm called Chris out, because he made a nuisance out of himself. At least, I think that were his reasons.

@@bsquared4604 but is a shit

@@bsquared4604 Norm was actually a closeted homosexual, which he revealed on the Larry King Show.

Well, that Kattan guy sounds like a jerk.

Kattan is a known liar you can't believe a word out of his mouth

@@uuouuo5480 I heard that Kattan doesn't own a dog house

im glad tracy spoke against it. its unprofessional and cheap.

No because they didn't talk about everyone. Be careful of using the word ALL. Unless you personally know everyone that has ever been on the show, you can't say you have proof.

SNL was (maybe still is, but I don't think it's as bad now) an insanely competitive work environment where you needed to show on-screen chemistry with folks while possibly stabbing them in the back because of the nature of having to get *your* material on as opposed to somebody else's. That's going to lead to a lot of hard feelings. Jane Curtin, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and numerous others have also said how bad an environment it was for women, a criticism that stayed right up until Tina Fey took over as head writer.

Eddie could've easily responded back with " So what was David Spade's biggest hit movies again? Oh that's right, "Joe Dirt" and ummm........welp that's it. Goodnight

@@coreykindle5892 Joke was before Joe Dirt. Probably more like Tommy Boy would be Spades biggest movie at the time. Murphy felt like he carried SNL through a period where it had really taken a nose dive in ratings and the joke was a low shot. Murphy probably overreacted a bit IMO, it was still just a joke and he took the piss out of plenty of people if you watched any of his old comedy specials.

At that time Eddies movies were stale. The truth hurts.

@@David35687 yup careers go up and down like that . I just wish being the comedic beast that Eddie is, he would've fired back at David instead of crying about it

@@coreykindle5892 murphy was always the most successful of the two, we all know that, but it was just a joke, he took it to personal, even that response you have would have come out as salty.

*privileged As for “never had to work a day,” YOU try to write and act comedy.

@@RobJazzful Yeah clearly no work was done there either. He was a C- comedian at best.

@@RobJazzful good point. Although I really don't know how much of his own stuff he actually wrote and how much was written for him. Still an amazing comedian either way, just apparently not the nicest guy.

He was so badly abused as a kid his parents once locked him in a closet or basement.

It's a toxic work environment Jan wasn't nearly as bad as Nora Dunn. Jan led a very reclusive life after SNL I think she was too nervous to keep on working. RIP she was great on SNL and many other things.

@@erichaynes7502 I watched Jan when she was on a local sketch show in Atlanta, Georgia. She was very funny and likeable.

@@dennis2966 Ditto for when she was in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Loved her in that! (Even though she was only in it for a few minutes).

"I am a barfly."

He is still kinda a jackass

The Word “Autism” in Autism Spectrum is spelled A, U, T, I, S, M.

@@blakerice6238 Wow, you’re so smart. We are all VERY impressed

I believe Chris Rock also spoke out on being diagnosed on the the autism spectrum as well.

On top of it, Tracy had a brain injury from a horrific car accident.

Best comment so far

😂😂😂...........Ahhh yes......Rick and Morty.......I still find myself randomly saying ".....and a hole in the wall where the men can see it alllll...."

110%, great movie

Have you ever seen his 'gerald ford' impressions, tho? They were brilliant bits of physical comedy.

@@wylier throwing oneself to the ground and getting up quickly acting as if nothing happened isn’t really brilliant comedy.

@@Thedirtyginger yet it was good enough to earn Chevy an Emmy. :-P

It was more Donald Glover leaving than Chevy.

@@XtopherMartin he left BECAUSE of Chevy. He just didn't like the work environment any more

The problem was definitely Victoria, not Jan or Nora.

I remember that time period. At that time, the show was still a "boys club" and the women were mostly at the bottom of the pecking order. They could still shine (I mean, you can't hold back talent like Jan Hooks), but it wasn't easy. It got even worse into the early '90's when Julia Sweeney and Ellen Cleghorne held down the fort for a couple of years and a parade of other one-and-dones female cast members came and went. Those years saw the rise of In Living Color and then Madtv, shows with lots of female talent and more diversity.

Jan Hooks was excellent.

You heard it from a jealous crazy right-wing christian-addled nutcase who speaks little but lies, especially recently. Jan Hooks was a genius, even in minor roles.

@@Teelirious She was especially hilarious in 3rd Rock From The Sun!

If Jan didn't get along with Nora Dunn and Victoria Jackson, well THAT just makes me love Jan Hooks even MORE!

Chevy turned 80, nobody noticed or cared...few cokeheads live that long.

He’s streets behind

They're actually friends again.

This Norm fella sounds like a real jerk

He is Hollywood

It's easy to look at Norm and Chris and assume Norm was the bully, but...who knows?

That's according to Victoria Jackson who is a complete lunatic.

That's kinda what I was thinking.

No she wasn’t. It was Victoria that was the nightmare.

She’s batshit crazy though. Legitimately cray cray.

@@livingmylifeinmonotone8966 yep, she is insane.

She is a Right wing Christo-fascist, so yeah, dumb blonde she remains.

She and Farley did a great Roseanne and Tom Arnold impersonation

Her whole stand up routine was based on a dumb blonde character, though.

Wouldn't go that far.

Right

He had his moments---if nothing else, he was hilarious in Fletch.

One trick pony. He did the bumbling Ford routine and everything he did was just some minor derivation of that.

@@hamupinhere I wouldn't either. He's always been kind of hit and miss to me.

Cocaine was a big problem for SNL behind the scenes in it's early days, but I think drug abuse amongst the show's staff is less than what it used to be.

So he's an asshole by blood?

Without Eddie Murphy singlehandedly saving SNL during the early 80s David Spade would never have had a career.

@@DrRestezi Lorne Michaels returned and saved SNL.

@@RyanB1987 SNL would have been canceled years before LM returned had it not been for Eddie Murphy. Facts!

This video didn't elaborate much, but Eddie's problem with the comment was that Spade (and by default, Lorne Michaels and SNL), were denigrating a successful alumni of the show, as if he were some hot headed, egotistical upstart. As was already stated, Eddie Murphy literally was the sole reason SNL wasn't canceled during Lorne Michaels departure. That doesn't mean that Eddie Murphy can't make sucky movies, but it's a low, unnecessary blow to to be called a "fallen star" by the show he kept alive.

@@marcusj4641 Lorne Michaels didn't hire Eddie Murphy so that sense of loyalty to Murphy was never there, which is unfortunate.

I know him from Hocus Pocus and Dumb and Dumber.

He is a good comedic actor but he is not a comic. That's why his talk show was total crap.

Rocket was a snl member in early 80s I think

@@ericametzinger4061 He was hired for the 1980-81 season. He was the host of the Weekend Update, and was groomed to be a smooth, sexy type of TV actor. He blew it when he dropped an F bomb on a live broadcast, tho. He was fired shortly afterwards. He is, perhaps not coincidentally, the only cast member to die by suicide (they found his body in a field, c. 2016 or so). RIP Charlie.

I think the writers even admitted to this..

Lmao

theyre all creative types who are trying to get their material seen. volatile stuff

Well, the Victoria Jackson-Nora Dunn-Jan Hooks story seems to back that up, doesn't it? lol.

Chase the worst person? Not as long as Ted Cruz draws breath.

SNL isn’t funny.. it’s frustrating, annoying and dumb it’s makes Scooby Doo looks like Monty Python in comparison

This comment aged like wine... Unlike Fallon's high turnover cellar...

He and Oteri both

Jim Breuer pretty much confirmed that about Kattan, claiming he was a victim of his theft

I use to like Kattan until I watched him on a game show. Such a jerk. He repeatedly called the contestants dumb and stupid. Plus he wasn't steady on his feet. He was missing steps and generally off balance. He was high, drunk or both.

Looking past everything about Kattan in this thread (which I agree with)..............................he JUST. WASN'T. FUNNY.

@@cathleenwilliamson6668 Somebody commented that he had (has?) drug problems. Not an excuse to be a d-bag of course, but I hope he gets the help he needs if he hasn't straightened himself out.

People can work out their problems, and it seems like they did, bc the beef happened before the appearances. And I can see why Morgan would think this about Fallon, tho. I don't think Fallon's breaking was consciously a way to bring attention to himself, but you only have to watch some of his interviews and see how he often cuts off his guests to talk about himself to see he's a bit self-centered. That being said, it was kind of in poor taste that Morgan talked about it in his book. And also the way he talked about some of the other cast members. My guess: it was all for the sake of creating drama so he could sell more books. And that's kinda skeevy and sad.

Haven’t you noticed, SNL crew (ex and current) appear on his show all the time. Usually sounds like it begrudgingly. Almost like Fallon had good ties with Lorne Michaels or contracted or something. Even when Dave Chapelle was on it seemed he was making it clear it wasn’t for Fallon’s sake. Even made it feel he was there in support of The Roots more than for Fallon. “Yeah, last time I was he you were not nearly this famous”. You know sometimes when you just don’t like a guy……

@@skoll_5682 Lorne Michaels is the Executive Producer of the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Fallon is Lorne Michael's protege. He's the least talented cast member of SNL. The most talented was Norm Macdonald and they never gave him a network talk show.

Jane Curtin: MASSIVELY underrated. She was the female Dan Akryoyd; she was in every sketch, every TYPE of sketch, could play any kind of character. A GREAT utility player.

@@TTM9691 absolutely. Jane Curtin can put on any hat and wear it with confidence. 3rd Rock from the sun was about Aliens but Jane Curtin Steals every scene she's in. I forget Lithgow is even there.

Wonder what he would have thought of Julia Sweeney's PAT

Also Jan Hooks, probably the second-best female cast member after Gilda. Or Julia-Louis Dreyfus, who wasn't really that funny on SNL but blossomed into a comedic genius afterward. Or, as a deep cut, the criminally underrated and underused Robin Duke.

He'd still say the same thing.

or Tina Fey, and Amy Pohler

Kristin was the BEST!!

Jimmy Fallon says “hello”

Charles Rocket had such a sad end .. RIP

@@robinbecker6108 slit his own throat. Sad RIP

I don't think he was without talent, he just wasn't cut out to be the leading man of the show, nor was he a fit for some of the roles they put him in like Ronald Reagan. I think he would have been fine as a utility-guy, sort of like Chris Parnell or Tim Meadows, with a better ensemble around him.

Thanks for the history lesson. Chevy actually won an Emmy c. 1976. In terms of his personal life, I think his girlfriend was in LA the entire time that Chevy was doing SNL, and that the stress of being on the other coast from her was one of the reasons he chose to leave NYC - and SNL. He was basically gambling that his growing fame would secure his future in LA, which is pretty much what happened.

He's basically his character on Community.

Where did you here about Taran and Kenan's feud?
