Wow, probably the most candid interview of Chase I've ever seen. I really feel like he's gotten a bad wrap, and not fairly so. You can't be expected to be in this business and not butt heads sometimes, and his complaints on Community were mostly legitimate. The internet loves to shit on Chevy Chase while putting people like Bill Murray on a pedestal, and he has been a legit monster several times (especially to women).
If you like this one, you'll love this one he did with Howard Stern (I'm not saying this sarcastically either, it was an excellent interview & Howard got him to really open up!) Here's the link to it m.th-cam.com/video/HjCjr61ooDU/w-d-xo.html
I've loved Foul Play since it arrived in theaters. I always loved the persona of Chevy's detective, a guy having just a tad too big a self-confidence until he started to kind of show that he actually cared for Gloria, not just for himself. If Chevy was feeling insecure and didn't feel good enough, maybe that was good, otherwise we mightn't have seen the cracks in that armour that actually made the character's humanity seep through.
I’m happy Chevy mentions he enjoyed making Funny Farm because I still feel that was his finest performance. He says it was a low key version of him which didn’t do very well at the box office but nowadays if I mention Chevy Chase and Funny Farm people think of it as an instant classic. It’s reputation has grown quite a bit since it’s release and I am happy to see that. Although I liked Chase’s films prior I felt his low key approach was utilized very well in Funny Farm and he did fine comic acting. I know what it’s like to be critical of yourself so I know what he’s saying but I personally thought he was very good in Foul Play.
People love to bash Chevy (for years now) but, don’t forget, the dude was funny as f@ck - made some great movies from the mid-70s until the early 90s 🎙
I like chevy chase. He's very honest about himself without the massive ego that people accuse him of. He IS a talented writer and performer, and wasn't afraid to try different things throughout his life. He was extremely successful, and to slag a person off for lack of consistency is hypocritical....... of everyone.
4:59 -- note that Mike Myers (re)used the infinite-peeing schtick in Austin Powers -- Myers also stole Dana Carvey's Lorne Michaels impression for Dr. Evil in the same franchise -- neither one's a particularly 'deep' bit, but definite pattern of on-the-sly appropriation.
Like others, I also like Chevy Chase, films with his participation, like ''Foul Play", "Modern Problems", "Seems like old times", "Funny Farm", "National Lampoon's Vacation" movies and others....And also, characters of Chevy Chase are close to my personality.....)
he was brilliant and the great funny films, foul play, benji one, vacation one, fletch one...boy he s made me laugh, don t listen to what he says about his work, he is overly critical.and obviously his work in snl....one of the greatest...and for rock fans, the album he did with chameleon church as a drummer and singer, really good album..ie he s a good musician.
Being electrocuted and almost dying on the set of Modern Problems really changed him for good, and not in a positive way. Hes apparently been suffering Ptsd and depression ever since. He's now pushing 80, and still has that razor sharp wit and brilliant timing, but it's sad that hes not acting in anything
His toxic personality keeps him from acting in anything. He was an asshole on SNL and still is. A narcissist and an abuser. Thinks little of everyone else. But hey, he had good comedic timing. Horrible on that talk show with, like Carson said, zero ability to improvise.
Foul Play was his best film by far, He is a harsh critic of his best work, he didn't like Community either! I do think people crap all over him though and unfair! Bill Murray has been horrible to co-stars for years and gets a free pass!
You are probably the only person on this fucking planet who would stand up for Chevy Chase about ANYTHING. Take a look at the comment I just posted and read through some of the articles I posted. The guy is a fucking horrible human being. James was right about what he was saying.
This is back when he [Chevy] was trying to shop his talk show -- started selling himself as "not really a comedy actor, more like a serious intellectual writer who tried absurdist improv as a side schtick" -- no question he's a smart guy, but this re-invention attempt didn't stick.

I couldnt have said this better. I have a very strong feeling he will read these comments 100%
@@RRSYSinfo hi. yeahh, i hope so.
@@rockybalboa2526 i just get gut feelings thst often pay up true
I can’t believe he thinks he wasn’t good in Foul Play. That’s one if his best films, IMO.
You can approach this more humble than I give him credit for they give him credit for the most comedians
Great comedian. I love all his vacation movies.
Best ever.
Chevy for president!
One of my favorite 1980's actors
A side of Chevy you rarely see here. Thank you.
Chevy is Magic on Screen.

This is the most serious Ive ever seen him...
at 2:24 I believe that is Al Franken behind Lorne rehearsing a Stuart Smalley sketch.
Either that or a lost Peter Graves hosting spot.

Man chevy chase was a pretty good actor
Funny him practicing with the classic '80s Lakers line-up.
2:11 ...nope the world did not explode, its humor after all....

He plays piano like Art Tatum!
Well, almost.
Why did the 80’s feel like a great time?
Jesus Chevy don't be so hard on yourself we love that you have a dry glib nature in your acting🤣👍🔴⚪🔵
That news anchor looks like Ray Liotta.
Fletch is an excellent comedy film
Chevy chase ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂
when movies made sense and stars were decent and talented. good old days
great interview. anyway in HELL or HEAVEN you got the west 57th with Sly Stallone?
nah sorry I don't.
CHEVY CHASE WAS 46 HERE RIGHT ?
Fuck Off.
oh my
Is that George Mcrae @ 1:20?
Richard Pryor!
Foul Play was his best film by far, He is a harsh critic of his best work, he didn't like Community either! I do think people crap all over him though and unfair! Bill Murray has been horrible to co-stars for years and gets a free pass!
Too bad Chevy's dad never loved him apparently
Not crazy about how he goes out of his way to draw a distinction between himself and the "free-basers" at Betty Ford.
I disagree I think he wanted to address his own cocaine addiction but couldn't as it was daytime tv
+Jay Stedman If I remember correctly, West 57th was a prime-time series.
You are probably the only person on this fucking planet who would stand up for Chevy Chase about ANYTHING. Take a look at the comment I just posted and read through some of the articles I posted. The guy is a fucking horrible human being. James was right about what he was saying.
+Jay Stedman Brett Favre as well.
I'll stand up for him. He's amazingly talented and a wonderful human being!
Streets ahead
This is back when he [Chevy] was trying to shop his talk show -- started selling himself as "not really a comedy actor, more like a serious intellectual writer who tried absurdist improv as a side schtick" -- no question he's a smart guy, but this re-invention attempt didn't stick.
what about his role as Jim Morrison?
that was Val kilmer who played Jim Morrison not chevy the doors movie right
he`s hated in show biz
he's been arrogant here no respect for what Eddie Murphy did Farley did Belushi did for SNL
Farley would have been difficult to acknowledge, as this interview was conducted in 1989, and Farley didn't join the cast of SNL until 1990.
Elders don’t owe that to the younger following in their footsteps, and plenty of people detested John Belushi.
The interview wasn't about Eddie Murphy or John Belushi. It was about Chevy Chase.
You are mistaken and you are mistaking arrogance for being proud of his accomplishments. What the fuck are you known for?
You want him to bring up every single random person, or else it's disrespectful?
You're a moron.
