As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The Lame Cherry has mentioned the loathing of Chevy Chase by everyone in the industry and how only kind hearted gentlemen like Paul Schaffer, are willing to deal with this emotionally self crippled person, so it is of interest in the Truth, when Chase sits down for attention with the Washington Post to ruin the current careers of people on Saturday Night Live in telling the world they do not have any talent, it is a point to revisit Chevy Chase as in realty, this tormented little man, has one purpose in life and that is to be punished for what he is.
The WashPo notes that Chase's peers are busy at work and in demand. The reason these people are still in demand is they actually have talent. Steve Martin does entertain by self deprecating himself. David Letterman as obnoxious of a pervert he is, is actually a good interviewer, when he is not being an ass. Bill Murray in all honesty was the only SNL cast member who had any real comedic talent, even if it was one character that he played in every performance.
These days, Chase sits at home, waiting for a script to roll in. But his peers are thriving.
Steve Martin, 73, writes musicals, records bluegrass music and tours. David Letterman, 71, travels to India and interviews world leaders on Netflix. Bill Murray, 67, meets a cellist on a plane, and suddenly he’s doing a spoken-word tour backed by a chamber group.
Chevy Chase had zero talent. He lived off of the other comedic performances of talented people, as Alan Alda did on MASH. The Washington Post can list the 'successes' of Chevy Chase, but if you examine movies, these facts appear:
Caddyshack was a smash hit, not because of Bill Murray of Chevy Chase, Chase was absolutely boring in that movie. Caddyshake was successful because of the great Rodney Dangerfield and Ted Knight.
National Lapoon's Vacation? Chase ate a dog piss sandwich in his only funny moment in all his life. NLV was successful because of Christie Brinkley, and what followed was low IQ viewers hoping Brinkley types would appear on screen again.
As for as Fletch, zero comedy in another Chevy Chase disaster.
Chase is eager to work. But these days, he’s more likely to be fielding another round of bad press than a promising pitch. The man who revolutionized television in the 1970s, serving as the first breakout star on NBC’s breakout program, “Saturday Night,” who made three of the best comedies of the 1980s — “Caddyshack, “National Lampoon’s Vacation” and “Fletch” — and who as recently as 2012 earned raves for his turn on “Community,” wonders why he can’t get a break.
He has a few theories. His disastrous late-night TV talk show on Fox in 1993, which lasted 29 episodes and earned an F grade from Entertainment Weekly. His move from Hollywood in the mid-’90s to a quiet town in New York to raise his three daughters with his wife, Jayni. Then the general thing that happens when you grow older in show business.
“They’re really more about the George Clooneys and people that age,” he says. “I look pretty good for 74. I don’t know why I couldn’t do a Chevy Chase picture, but it just doesn’t happen.”
For Chase to use an excuse that he is living in small beans New York as to why his career faltered, ignores that Bruce Willis lived in Idaho for years, just as most successful actors rarely set foot in Hollywood, including the French squatter, Johnny Depp.
The fact is the only comedian with worse choices in movie rolls, was Robin Williams, but at least Williams had the sense to try and con the US military on USO tours to save his career.
Chase in the Post goes out of his way to attack Will Farrell in his one funny role as George W. Bush and then praises Eddie Murphy. Yes that is brilliantly stupid, as Murphy is so doped up he never works and Farrell while waning in his career still made enough money for the studios that no one with money is ever going to invest in a move and then allow Chase to trash it.
That is the fact in this, people who hire Bill Murray want to not have their audience abused in some surprise rant as Chase would do, as some people actually protect their artistry, instead of always taking cheap shots.
Chase is a small person who takes cheap shots at people, in order to keep them away, before they comment about this fat, old, talentless troll. When you are surrounded with some people of talent on sets or movies, and are the cunt candy for female viewers, as you take cheap shots at President Gerald Ford to appease the Nixon haters, you get away with being an ass. Become old, exposed as not funny in the cast is like you, and suddenly what was cunt candy is just another old asshole like the millions of old assholes children have to deal with who are their crotchety grandparents.
It was said by an actor that he thought perhaps there was a human inside Chevy Chase somewhere. That is incorrect as Chase is far too human, in the lowest and most self destructive nature. Chevy Chase hid behind crude humor and then being crude to others, to not get near the little boy who never could measure up to his family's successes, and that haunts him every day.
It never comes up, and that is telling, but think of the world Chase is imprisoned in. John Belushi in death is the icon Chase can never be. Bill Murray had the mega hits which dwarfed Chase's "hits". Dan Akroyd has the intelligence and good nature which Chase is to sloven to invest in. David Letterman is Obama porn while no one ever calls Chevy Chase.
The reason no one calls Chase is the insulting pariah Chase is.
The “Fletch” star told the Post that he asked Michaels six years ago if he could return as host once again – and Michaels said no, citing his age.
“I didn’t get it. ‘You’re too old’? We’d had many people older than me hosting,” Chase said. “What did he mean? I’ve never understood what he meant. Because I’d be very good, and it would be fun for an audience to see me doing that .… It’s like denying that I was the guy who made this show really go that first year. It’s like taking all that away from me.”
Chase sounds like Randy Moss of the NFL in being the only talent and the rest of the teams never mattered. Falling off ladders as Gerald Ford to get a pound of flesh off of Republicans for a Nixon cannibalism is not comedy. Hate is not comedy and hate is all Chevy Chase is.
Lorne Michaels actually summed up Chevy Chase perfectly and it is in the explanation of this blog above:
Michaels recalled. “And he said, ‘I’m ready to host again.’ All I was saying was, ‘We have to stop this discussion now. You’re old and annoying.’ ”
Yes Chevy Chase is old and annoying. He has been old and annoying for the past 40 years.
The thing is though that it is much deeper than being old and annoying, because Chase debuted as a Right Wing Killer on NBC's Law and Order, portraying Mel Gibson when Hollywood was trying to destroy him. Chase was pure venom in the roll and lacked the ability of Alec Baldwin to not make the role toxic as when Baldwin mimics Donald Trump.
That is why Alec Baldwin gets film roles he turns down, as being the Joker's father in the epic Joaquin Phoenix blockbuster and Chevy Chase airing out his old people scent on an open porch in New York.
The fact is when Chevy Chase goes senile as the beloved Tim Conway is battling, no one is going to care as fans do for Mr. Conway. Most will say the bastard deserves it and hope he drowns in his drool, and when Chevy Chase does go morgue temperature, it is a small audience to have Paul Schaffer lying about you, for a family wanting to believe there was something in this too human human.
Chevy Chase apparently did not understand that the Washington Post was posting Chase's obituary as the world is watching the beached whale and waiting for it to die, so they can have their beach back.
Chevy Chase is never going to put in the work to be Christian to fix what he is, as he is too scared to come to terms with the person he is terrified most of, in his failed self. There are so many people who are hoping for that as they are enjoying the car crash which is Chevy Chase in geezer motion, as Chase is great theater.
I'm just surprised that there aren't producers who are sending Chase work for big promises to lead him on, only to tell him that a chimp got the role instead.
I only hope that this is the last obituary this blog has to explain for Chevy Chase, as pointing out what is the few moments of cocktail conversation if Chase's name ever comes up, is more time that I care to waste again, as maybe the Washington Post enjoys mocking an old sod luring him out for attention, but most of the world would rather just forget about Chase, as beached whales are only in the way.
Nuff Said
