WTF Happened To This Celebrity? - The JoBlo series that examines the careers of stars and filmmakers who may have fallen out of the spotlight, and tells where they are now!
From his Saturday Night Live pratfalls to his iconic roles like ace journalist FLETCH and the VACATION series’ hapless dad Clark W. Griswold (opposite fellow WTF inductee Randy Quaid), Chevy Chase was once considered one of the funniest men in America. But over the years, his bad behind-the-scenes behavior and poor treatment of talent brought his star status down to the ground. And let's not forgot the misbegotten Chevy Chase Show (not even Disney's Man of the House - a hit - could make that stink go away) Pile into the family truckster and find out “WTF Happened to Chevy Chase!”

Should have mentioned at the beginning that he grew up rich, worked comedy for the lols, not the money. It explains why he could turn down roles, challenge directors, avoid gigs that would inconvenience him, and be a general nuisance when he felt like it. Maybe also explains his love for Paul Simon :)

And why his real name is Cornelius, because your parents are either rich, ancient or hate you if they name you that.

@@Yvolve I don't want to make excuses for Chevy Chase but I'm probably going to by saying this (I could easily be jealous of his family's money because he still has it & I'm piss poor right now with no hope in sight after being mutilated from 5 spine operations that went wrong, C2->L5, S1/S2 - last one being in 2021 - and my family's old money that I only added too for 25+ yearss was used against me the second I couldn't function anymore, so I was left with $1k a month (even government benefits I paid into have been taken from me) because I'm now completely 'defective' aka 'useless' to my parents, kind of like Joe Kennedy with Rosemary but she was put in a decent facility & had siblings who visited her where my only one who protected me died when I was age 18; I do feel sorry for Rosemary to the nth degree & I'm saying this because coming from wealth can often lead to a really screwed up upbringing because you're only a tool & nothing more; I also guess this proves the theory that often the richest people are often sociopaths or at least just have zero empathy). I think Chevy wanted to prove himself as something and didn't know how to relate that very well to a lot of people. His fall back unfortunately was that he showed a sense of superiority because of his upbringing but it was probably a hollow reaction. When someone says they don't care what others say so often, it usually means the opposite. His whole career seems to be a constant struggle to prove that he is the commsumate successful artist despite doing the opposite every time. At lot of wealthy families put the highest amount of pressure for their child(ren) to be successful despite fully neglecting them (some buy their child's success but if they are old money, which has a type of class that they wouldn't dare get caught doing that; it's hard enough like with Joe Kennedy to have their peers see that they produced a defective child but they will eventually find a way to explain that away even if they lie in every way possibly to do it to save face as that's nothing for them because they're already the best of the best to be found out when it comes to those types of untruths). So if Chevy had that type of pressure then every set he saw someone doing better than him it was threatening to him where he was compelled to prove himself over and over and over....He is his own worst enemy and for someone to become increasingly miserable throughout their life can not be living his 'best life' with his 'best self.' I think we saw a taste of what that could have been through the few people that believed in him (in addition to their big hearts) and even through some of his roles. If I'm right, I would bet anything he never sought help for multiple reasons (stubborness, generational idealism, inheriting some of his parents' image obsession whether he admits it or not, etc.). No matter what's the truth, I do know my experience and I do not want to look at this through a biased lens (I do love him in the National Lampoon's vacation movies and I wonder how he can be so relatabe...similar to how he adlibbed everything in Fletch too). The ONLY thing I'll say that he & I would definity have in common is that we were born in generations where there was no where to reach out to. I had to move out before I hit majority age (even though I already paid for my car, board before housing, college) but all mental & physical abuse - at leasst in my area in many others - was allowed until the '90s (they even spanked for minor infractions at my elementary school, although I never got in trouble and actually was an honors student with really good grades involved in activities to show off to my parents' peers throughout so I was the 'perfect child' in that respect). But instead of lashing out at others, I have only wanted to get along with everyone and NEVER treat anyone the way I was treated again. I've been told I've been pretty successful at that but I have been used a few times - esp. in my 20s & my early 30s where I'm still recovering but the silver lining is that will never happen to me again (I was dependent on someone to also help me with my health issues- i.e. daily injections, etc. - in addition to deeply loving them), but after even going through that (& being raped twice, knife & gun held to my chest & head, respectively, etc.), I refuse to give up on treating people the way I would want to be treated even if I haven't experienced it as much, I have learned to know what I should deserve to be treated as a human being. So that's the difference between Chevy and I if he went through trauma like I did. Working in Hollywood certainlly can make that more likely. So all and all, It's just that I can't dislike Chevy as a person as much as I HATE how he can treat people (as I would NEVER do that), but because he is just too miserable he continuously invites enough hatred for himself because I'm certain HE DOES CARE (again, he just says it too many times that he doesn't & his lashing out - i.e. SNL where that was more related to his time where he didn't feel appreciated). And, there's no need for coddling as that wouldn't help him in the slightest (only enable the toxicity), because if I'm right then this demons come from WAAAAYYY back and even thought they say it's never too late, well I do think there's an exception from time to time. So again, I don't hate the man as he's done enough of that for himself...the question is, is it fair he still has had more resoources throughout his life than the vast majority and at least enjoying that now if only to a minimal extent but he could never find a way to rise above his pain (mostly now self-inflicted)? As much as I feel hopeless in every way, is that still better than the torment he must endure for being such a miserable human being all the time, even at age 81 when many begin to 'mellow out' at that age (he says he's mellowing out but if he is critiqued he will go rigth back to his usual reaction in the same amount of miliseconds so that hasn't changed a bit)? It would be good if he could truly help someone one time (someone that he can really relate to...NOT me as there's a lot of generational misogyny so I'm told to excuse my paternal relation, so that wouldn't work anyway*). *I can't draw too much attention to my situation because I could have even worse done to me than what happened to Rosemary at the moment...but in 10 years then maybe I can help anyone like me, though I would just like to help anyone in general with what I have BUT I WISH I COULD DO THAT NOW AS THAT WOULD SAVE ME FROM EVERYTHING FROM THE CONSTANT MENTAL TORMENT AGAINST MY INCREASING PARALYSIS ON MY UPPER & LOWER EXTREMITIES BUT I CAN"T AFFORD TO LEAVE WHERE I'M AT & I'M ONLY HAVE USE OF A COMPUTER (ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HELPFUL BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO NOT GIVE UP & THEN END UP IN HELL AS I'VE RECENTLY LEARNED THAT COULD BE AN OPTON; I'VE CERTAINLY NEVER BEEN MORE DESPERATE IN MY LIFE AS I HAVE NOW BUT WHEN YOU ARE LOSING LITERALLY EVERYTHING DOWN TO ALL YOUR MAJOR PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES BECAUSE THEY PUT SO MUCH METAL SO ENCASED AROUND MY SPINE THAT IT CAN'T BE REMOVED BUT CAUSING NONSTOP PRESSURE ON SIGNIFICANT NERVES WHERE MY EMG & NERVE CONDUCTIVITY STUDIES SHOW I'M A 4/5 WITH 5 BEING THE WORST FOR COMPLETE DAMAGE; I JUST HAD HAND SURGERY TO PROLONG THAT ABILITY FOR A YEAR BUT THAT NERVE WILL FINALLY GIVE WAY AS I'M ALREADY PARTIALLY PARALYZED NOT TO MENTION THE AUTOIMMUNE NERBE DISORDERS I WAS BORN WITH, HENCE MY DEFECTIVENESS EARLY ON BUT I STILL COULD BE UTILIZED/EXPLOITED BY MY PARENTS FOR SEVERAL DECADES; I WISH SOMEONE COULD HAVE TOLD ME HOW BAD IT WAS GOING TO BE IN MY FUTURE AS I DIDN"T EVEN KNOW THE FULL EXTENT OF MY AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES BECAUSE THEY'RE A BIT RARE BUT STILL ENOUGH WAS KNOWN FOR ME TO BE TOLD EARLY ON...NOT TO MENTION A GREAT PART OF MY PARENTS' WEALTH CAME FROM MULTI=GENERATIONAL MEDICAL WITH THE EMPHASIS ON CHEMISTRY SO PHARMACEUTICALS WHERE I WAS OFTEN A GUINEA PIG FOR THAT TOO BUT THINK I WAS LUCKY IN THAT REPSECT THANKFULLY; I MEAN I COUNT MY BLESSINGS WHENEVER I CAN); I'm saying someone he can relate to because then maybe there is hope of him changing at least a little bit for the better by helping a reflection of himself, so a win-win situation). ~~SORRY FOR THE LENGTHY POST BUT PLEASE JUST GO PAST AS ANY EXTRANEOUS DETAILS ABOUT ME ARE INCLUDED BECAUSE I'M IN THE MOST DESPERATE SITUATION OF MY LIFE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE (ASPERGER's IS ANOTHER ONE OF MY NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES) & THERE ISN'T ANY COUNSELING AVAILABLE (THAT I CAN AFFORD ANYWAY) IN MY AREA; I would do ANYTHING WITH EVERYTHING THAT I AM ABLE - SEE ABOVE - to make my situation better andI mean anything (except what is considered amoral). I apologize to this amazing Channel for putting out my desperation on it's platform. It wasn't something I ever intended and I never thought it could get this bad as I already did everything I could (so I thought) to ensure this wouldn't happen but money talks & illegal transfers happen & so on.~~

Everything else he's been in are varying degrees of trash.

The problem with mentioning the films that 'got away' because he turned down the roles was that those films might not have been as epic or at least memorable with Chevy in them. By the sound of it he was difficult to work with on a good day and that's the sort of thing that can wreck an otherwise good film.

This is actually pretty sad... Although Chevy Chase is typically regarded as kind of an A-hole by fellow celebrities, it seems as if his own entitlement led him down a road of unhappiness. It’s like he’s a real-life version of a character from The Office; he just constantly fucks up only to show his more bitter side in the end which shocks us.

Me- I asked him for directions, completely ignoring the fact that he was…Chevy Chase. He gave me the directions to where I was trying to go- but looked confused- as in- “what, no recognition?” Which I thought was hilarious although obviously was not having the best time of my life.

Saw him live when he was on tour a couple years ago. Started off with a screening of Christmas Vacation, and then Chevy came out to tell stories and answer questions. The wheeled him on stage in a wheelchair. He did seem not well physically. He did legitimately have something wrong with his lungs, he had an inhaler and was short of breath. But about 40 minutes in, during the middle of a question he says "i gotta take a piss" he jumps out of his seat and walks straight off stage without issue lol. An entire theater full of people sat in silence as Chevy disappeared for at minimum 9 minutes, then he casually strolls back to stage and answers the question without hesitation :D Fuckin genius!

So I was deployed in the military family had donated a box of people magazine. This was about 2004, but the magazines were anywhere from 1 to 3 years old. In one of those people magazines there was a story about Chevy Chase. It was about how he had had his celebrity roasts I didn’t recognize any of the people that were there, they were all these young artists that he didn’t know, so when he went backstage he ran into the guy that owns SNL, and asked him where are my friends. He was told there are none, you ruined every relationship you’ve been in. Chevy Chase wrote in this people magazine how do you said made him realize he had been the problem all along. It was a very wellWritten piece that would explain Chevy’s career in the context that you are presenting. Love your videos thanks for all your hard work

Most great comedians become so big and never evolve, they forget how to be funny cause it came so easy. Look at Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey or Chevy Chase in interviews today, as they just walk out and people start laughing hysterically. It’s sad to watch them interviews as they are a shell of themselves in their heyday. Then you have a comedian like Steve Martin who evolved and doesn’t do ‘wild and crazy guy’ anymore, and he’s just as funny as he was in the 70’s.

Agree with you about Eddie Murphy, not so much with Jim Carrey. Carrey became a fine dramatic actor and Steve Martin did too. Both of those guys are much more talented that Eddie Murphy, who's comedy was very much "of a time" in the eighties. It you go back and watch any of his standup now, it's cringeworthy at best. His greatest moments were on SNL and 48 hours, after that it was steadily downhill but he's been riding that 80's wave for his entire career. IMO he's one of the most overrated superstars in entertainment history. Not only that, he's an insufferable egomaniac with no self awareness.

Decisions, decisions. Supposedly, Eddie Murphy said "NO" to 'Ghostbusters', as well. You never know which film is going to be a hit, and which one is shit while it lives as a bunch of words on a stack of paper. When films are in script form, they can be a DRAG to read. Very few seem like they'll rock at the box office.
