Chevy Chase, has indeed, always been his own worst enemy. He was lucky enough to be in the cast of Saturday Night Live when it premiered in 1975 and the show was an immediate sensation. His success was so intoxicating that he quit after the first season “to become a movie star.” And he never looked back. Rumors that he was obnoxious were just starting to circulate but he was still generally admired. I happened to make a date with a young actor who appeared in the very successful film “Nashville” that same year and he brought his friend Chevy along. We ended up at someone’s fabulous hillside house watching TV and the REAL Chevy was soon revealed. He made nonstop insulting comments about everyone on the tube. He was condescending and pretentious about his fancy upbringing and vulgar to boot. He made everyone feel awful – especially his nice actor friend. It was an unforgettable and very revealing evening.

    Ad he ended up fat, bald, jowly, and not nearly successful as he could have been. Maybe rich, but not mega rich!

    God Almighty, that meeting with Mr. Chase was 40 years ago! Let it go. People do change.

    Tiny little imposter….it loves Strom so much it wants to be him. But will never happen except in its little fantasy world. He will end up fat and grey like Chevy Chase.

    Go back to the Call Center and maybe one day minimum wage will rise.

    No surprise there. He has long been rumored to be a class A asshole.

    “Just another obnoxious, brain dead Republican asshole! “

    Wow. He looks exactly like the kind of characters he used to make fun of.

  12. Strom

    I am an obnoxious brain dead a hole.

  13. MissEva

    He looks like a fat version of G.W. Bush here!

  14. Carlos Danger

    He is not unlike any other liberal scumbag. Someone should punch him in his vagina.

    so never do this again……….

  17. Never Forget

    Now he’s got congestive heart failure, which is surprising since he has no heart. He’s a bully, bigot, sexist and pig. I feel for his wife and three daughters to have had him in their lives. Maybe they will soon be free of him.

    Now this is some quality gossip. Thanks JC!!!!

    But aren’t most entertainment types self centered, pretentious and demeaning to others?

  19. Noblecascade

    that is sad to hear about him. He had the world by the tail. Too bad. He looked feeble and lost the other night.

  20. Kitty

    Just another obnoxious, brain dead liberal asshole!

  21. ah-yuck

    Long live Clark Griswald.
