Chevy Chase did a big interview with The Washington Post to let everyone know that he wants to work and to complain about his reputation for being an insufferable a-hole. Washington Post (there is a paywall if you have used up your free articles). He does this by being an insufferable a-hole throughout the interview. There are just too many examples for me to list. It's all bad. And he says multiple racist things as well. I'm not going to read that. But my question is--Why are people still talking to Chevy Chase? Is he even working anymore? Community was the last project that I'm aware that he worked on. And to still be talking about SNL 40 years later? Get some therapy Bro, and get over it. What a bitter man.

The only Chevy Chase movie I ever liked was The Three Amigos, and that was in spite of him. He's just unlikable.

And to still be talking about SNL 40 years later? Get some therapy Bro, and get over it. What a bitter man. That's basically what the article is about - why he's not working while his contemporaries (Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Martin Short) still are. And it's exceedingly obvious in every paragraph that he's not working because everyone he encounters hates him and their hatred is totally justified. At one point, the writer of the piece is talking to Chevy and realizes that Chevy isn't responding to him because he's doing an obnoxious sight gag and you can tell the writer cannot stand him.

I admit that I have a soft spot for Chevy Chase, because I grew up watching his movies (Foul Play was one of my parent's favorites)--but yeah, he just needs to relax and enjoy retirement.

Thank god the Internet wasn't around when Chevy Chase was making movies because I always thought he was pretty funny and still enjoy his movies when they pop up. Now I can't really like anyone because as soon as I do they do something incredibly stupid and/or asshattery and I have to hate them and all their work.

I loved Foul Play too! I had a flip flop reaction to Bill Murray. I liked him, then I got a little burned out and it seemed like so many of his movies were the same character over and over again. His later years, though, have been pretty spectacular. But what sealed my Bill Murray love was hearing that he went ape shit on Chevy after Chase made some smartass comment about Gilda Radner's eating disorder. Then I heard a story about a holiday party not long before Gilda died. Bill carried her around the party all night, then when she was ready to go he carried her around to say good night to everyone. "Allright, say goodbye everyone! Gilda has to go now!"

mrspickles, don't read too much about Bill Murray or you will likely flip back.

I’ve hated Chevy Chase and his smarmy face since the ‘80’s so it warmed my heart to learn everyone who works with him hates him. And now he wants to work but nobody likes him enough to hire him? Bee-yoo-ti- ful!!!

If you want to read stories about people hating Chevy Chase then I recommend Live from New York. SNL cast members from every era can't stand the guy.

I honestly haven’t heard of one person who has liked working with Chevy. Wait, maybe Beverly D’Angelo?
To sit in an interview and say that SNL has been going downhill since 1977 when he left is one of the funniest/saddest things I’ve read. I’m sure Lorne has been sitting around for the last 41 YEARS just waiting for Chevy to come and save them.
His only redeeming quality is that he starred in Christmas Vacation. That’s it.
