      False. Chevy and Richard did a Word Association Skit on SNL together, they got used to playing off one another.

    That verbal jab by Richard Pryor to Chevy was just fantastic, "I was going to ask you, why didn’t you tell Johnny you was going to take over his show?". In 1975 the New York Magazine carried an infamous article that stated “Industry sources report that network executives see in Chase ‘the first real potential successor to Johnny Carson when he gives up the Tonight Show,‘” while also noting how Saturday Night Live was bringing in 2 million more viewers than Tonight Show reruns that previously held the spot. So that quip by Richard Pryor in the moment referencing the magazine article about a year and a half after Chevy had left Saturday Night Live and was in the process of failing to live up to the hype really hit home.

He always knew what kind of comedy to do with a certain crowd, how to do it, when to do it and how far he could go with it. By far one of the best all around comedians of our time.

      I hear you…back when we were just Americans!!! Before they really started to divide us!!!
      I truly wish that today’s young people could experience the USA that we all grew up in, we were so close to having a real utopia, but we quit fighting the fight because we had this false sense of accomplishment and victory…why we didn’t see the tsunami they were building to hit us with I’ll never know…but please know that there was a time when we were all striving to have a wonderful all encompassing country and way of life ❤
      I’m sorry we weren’t able to keep the tradition alive of handing over a country that was better than how we found it…😢

      @@mindelomanRobin was not always dark. He was as gifted as anyone when it came to comedy. He was happily married and a loving father. That gave him joy. When he realized that his illness was going to take away his mind, it became something that ultimately he couldn’t deal with that loss. We all miss him very much.

      Also telling that Chase still thinks they're buds but the unpredictable one rebuffs him. Part of comedy genius is unpredictability of speech.
      Always heard he was from Jersey but Illinois it is.
