Saturday Night Live (1975 – Present): Chase vs. Everyone on the Show
Saturday Night Live (SNL) was a nationwide showcase for comedians with big personalities. A sketch show that featured an array of classic characters over the years, from Gumby to Mr. Bill to the Killer Bees, the show skewered modern society, and audiences loved it. But inside the studio, cast member Chevy Chase made no friends. In 2022, he was interviewed by CBS Sunday Morning, and admitted he felt he was the funniest of the cast. He had a fist fight with castmate Bill Murray. John Belushi gave him the finger whenever he could, a holdover from a feud that predated their time on SNL. In 2022, Chase responded to criticism by former castmates and crew, “I don’t give a crap! I am who I am.” Chase left SNL in the second season, and had a hit movie career, but still carries the stigma of being difficult to work with.
