- Mm-mm.
- I'm gonna swap

00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:25,567
- this water out.
- Okay.
5
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:27,110

- Go ahead,

00:00:27,277 --> 00:00:28,528

Don't worry.
7
00:00:28,653 --> 00:00:32,032

or cereal every morning.
10

That's what keeps me
a little overweight.

Here, Pat,
take this for a second.
12

13
00:00:51,926 --> 00:00:53,636

He has this glint in his eye
17
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:14,574
that makes you feel that
there's a big brain in there,
18
00:01:14,699 --> 00:01:17,994
and it's ready to say
something really funny,
19
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:20,330
or sarcastic, or edgy.
20
00:01:20,455 --> 00:01:21,831
Listen, it's Glory, right?
21
00:01:21,956 --> 00:01:23,625

and you're very pretty.

What do you say?
Would you like to take a shower?
24
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:30,298
He didn't really have
a lot of boundaries.
25
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:32,092
He was very, very free.
26
00:01:32,217 --> 00:01:35,053
Drink this.
And it's off to bed.
27
00:01:35,178 --> 00:01:37,013

00:01:41,559 --> 00:01:43,186

- Every day.
31
00:01:43,353 --> 00:01:44,813
- Good.
- We always

that was just always there.
33
00:01:47,732 --> 00:01:49,234
Would you like

34
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:51,528
- Helen, you want something?
- No, no, thank you.
35
00:01:51,653 --> 00:01:54,405
- I'll have a Coke.
- Do you want that in the can?

00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:57,075
No, I'll have it right here.

40
00:02:07,043 --> 00:02:10,421
I immediately fell in love

doing Weekend Update.
42
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:15,426
I'm talking about Chevy,
not the character he played.
43
00:02:16,427 --> 00:02:19,514
I give you the Griswold
family Christmas tree.
44
00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:24,853
I spent most days
in between scenes
45
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:27,605
in his trailer with him
and his makeup artist Lee
46
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:31,442
listening to the filthiest jokes
I have ever heard in my life.
47
00:02:31,568 --> 00:02:33,278
Little kid
in the fourth grade who says,
48
00:02:33,403 --> 00:02:34,696
"Hey, Dad, I've got
the biggest dick
49
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:37,198
in the fourth grade.
Is that 'cause I'm Black?"
50
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:38,741
"No, son,
that's 'cause you're 19."
51
00:02:38,867 --> 00:02:40,243
- I mean, I don't know...
- I could see,
52
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:41,578
you know, right away,
this guy is,
53
00:02:41,744 --> 00:02:43,371
you know,
simultaneously talented
54
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:44,789
and very dangerous.
55
00:02:44,914 --> 00:02:47,083
He has this charisma.
56
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:49,085
The asshole who you love.
57
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:51,546
Can I say "asshole"?
58
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:53,548
A lot of people will, unfortunately.
59
00:02:53,673 --> 00:02:55,592
Chevy Chase,
60
00:02:55,717 --> 00:02:58,469
has he worn out his welcome
in the entertainment world?
61
00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:00,388
Yeah, he might've been nasty
to other people,
62
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:02,765
but he--
he and I were like that.
63
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:04,475
You know, I was
always kinda hoping in my heart,
64
00:03:04,601 --> 00:03:06,269
it was like,
"They don't get this guy,"
65
00:03:06,436 --> 00:03:08,438
and when I met him,
I understood perfectly
66
00:03:08,605 --> 00:03:11,774
that everything I'd ever read
was probably true.
67
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:13,484
Maybe you wanna come
at me for a while.
68
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:15,236
The-- I will, Chevy--
69
00:03:15,361 --> 00:03:16,613
No, no, come on,
let's do it now--
70
00:03:16,779 --> 00:03:18,698
no, come on, let's talk
about my married life.
71
00:03:18,823 --> 00:03:20,408
- I want you to--
- No, come on, man.
72
00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:21,993
What about my shirt,
you like it?
73
00:03:22,118 --> 00:03:23,745
- Look, they're coming back--
- Quiet down.
74
00:03:23,870 --> 00:03:25,413
- That shirt is coming back.
- I'm talking, okay?
75
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:27,707
You like my shirt?
Fuck you, fuckhead, okay?
76
00:03:27,832 --> 00:03:29,959
How's that?
Put that on tape.
77
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:32,503
I don't think he consciously
78
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:35,298
wants to be an asshole.
79
00:03:35,465 --> 00:03:38,593
I think what
the asshole version of him...
80
00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:41,262
is somebody who is desperate
81
00:03:41,387 --> 00:03:44,015
for something he either lost
82
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:45,475
or doesn't have
83
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:47,435
or just getting old.
84
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:52,190
I'm just trying
to figure you out.
85
00:03:52,315 --> 00:03:53,733
No shit.
86
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:00,490
It's not gonna be easy for you.
87
00:04:00,615 --> 00:04:02,659

not gonna be easy?
88
00:04:03,993 --> 00:04:05,828
You're not bright enough.

00:04:05,995 --> 00:04:07,664
How's that?
90
00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:09,499
- Whoa.
- Well, you asked.
91
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:11,000
I know you're not gonna
put that on the air,
92
00:04:11,125 --> 00:04:12,418
and I hope not,
93
00:04:12,543 --> 00:04:14,462
but my answer is
94
00:04:14,587 --> 00:04:17,173
I'm complex
and I'm deep.
95
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:19,342
And I can be hurt easily,
96
00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:22,512
and I react spontaneously
97
00:04:22,679 --> 00:04:26,391
to people who want
to figure me out, as it were.
98

hold up my guard.

we had a group in college
called the Very Bad Jazz Band.
116
00:05:31,247 --> 00:05:33,291
I was a drummer at the time.
117

Blythe is
a very skilled actress,
129

183
00:08:51,322 --> 00:08:53,449
One day,
I was walking home,
184
00:08:53,616 --> 00:08:55,618
and I bumped
into Chris Guest.
185
00:08:55,785 --> 00:08:58,079
He said, "We're forming
a humor and music group,
186
00:08:58,204 --> 00:09:01,624
and the National Lampoon
Lemmings is producing it.
187
00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:03,834
Wondered if you knew
anyone funny
188
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,879
who could also perform
with an instrument?"
189
00:09:07,004 --> 00:09:08,965
So I said,
"Well, obviously, you know,
190
00:09:09,131 --> 00:09:10,841
we went
to Bard College together,
191
00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:14,136
the three of us,
Chevy is an obvious choice."
192
00:09:14,262 --> 00:09:16,764
And he said,
"Yeah, why don't you tell him
193
00:09:16,889 --> 00:09:18,641
to come
and try out, but...
194
00:09:18,808 --> 00:09:20,810
he's not
my favorite person."
195
00:09:20,935 --> 00:09:23,646
He was well-liked
by many people,
196
00:09:23,813 --> 00:09:25,856
but others didn't get
his sense of humor
197
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:28,985
and thought he was an asshole.
198
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:32,530
And so I went back to Chevy's,
and I told him,
199
00:09:32,655 --> 00:09:34,782
and Chevy said,
"I don't know."
200
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:37,034
Susan said,
"Get out of the bed
201
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:40,454
and go do something,
you're so lazy."
202
00:09:42,331 --> 00:09:45,126
I used to say to Chevy,
"You're not using
203
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:47,920
your God-given talents,"
204
00:09:48,045 --> 00:09:49,922
so Chevy went down
and tried out,
205
00:09:50,047 --> 00:09:51,674
and, next thing you know,
206
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:54,010
National Lampoon Lemmings
was formed,
207
00:09:54,176 --> 00:09:56,262

213
00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:19,994
The first half of it was skits,
214
00:10:20,119 --> 00:10:21,746
the second half was
a lampooning
215
00:10:21,871 --> 00:10:23,789
of the Woodstock Concert.

00:10:23,914 --> 00:10:26,917

Oh, my goodness.
227
00:11:01,911 --> 00:11:03,829
Isn't this the best cat?
228
00:11:14,924 --> 00:11:16,759
My mother is very musical.
229
00:11:16,926 --> 00:11:19,345
She was a concert pianist.
230
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:21,305
She didn't follow up on it.
231
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:23,099
But I could hear her
once in a while
232
00:11:23,265 --> 00:11:25,142
playing something like Debussy
233
00:11:25,267 --> 00:11:27,895
or Chopin or...
234
00:11:28,020 --> 00:11:30,189
They had a beautiful touch.
235
00:11:30,314 --> 00:11:33,275
Like notes of,
like, a string with pearls.
236
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:40,741
I started playing the piano
237
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:42,952
'cause it was there, basically.
238
00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:45,621
Tinkling on it
and taught myself
239
00:11:45,746 --> 00:11:47,248
over the last 50 years.
240
00:11:51,419 --> 00:11:54,922
I play by ear,
and I don't read music.
241
00:12:06,434 --> 00:12:09,603
My brother and I would
listen to jazz a lot
242
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,981
on a 78 record player.
243
00:12:12,148 --> 00:12:14,608
That's what sort of
got me doing it,
244
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:16,485
you know, playing jazz.
245
00:12:16,652 --> 00:12:19,822
It's improvisation,
which is very close to acting.
246
00:12:27,496 --> 00:12:29,498
Mel Brooks
once defined comedy
247
00:12:29,623 --> 00:12:31,459
as polite hostility.
248
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:33,377
Once you lose that,
once you limit yourself
249
00:12:33,502 --> 00:12:35,337
to saying,
well, that's not funny,
250
00:12:35,504 --> 00:12:38,966
or that can't be funny,
or you can't do jokes on that,
251
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,885
then you've limited yourself
to the point
252
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:44,513
where you're ineffective
as a comedian.
253
00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:48,017
Lorne Michaels, when he's given
the job to develop a show
254
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:50,936
for Saturday nights,
he's got a blank slate.
255
00:12:51,061 --> 00:12:53,856
I'd spent my 20s
in a television studio,
256
00:12:54,023 --> 00:12:56,233
so I was comfortable
in that environment.
257
00:12:56,358 --> 00:12:59,862
We were... just filled
with possibility
258
00:12:59,987 --> 00:13:02,031
of what we could do
and what we couldn't do.
259
00:13:02,198 --> 00:13:03,657
When I met with Lorne,
260
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:05,576
he described this new show.
261
00:13:05,701 --> 00:13:08,370
It spun my head around.
262
00:13:08,537 --> 00:13:09,997
He said it would be live,
263
00:13:10,122 --> 00:13:12,458
be 11:30 to 1:00
on Saturday night.
264
00:13:12,583 --> 00:13:14,210
And I go, "What?!"
265
00:13:14,335 --> 00:13:16,128
Who's gonna watch that?
You know, angry people.
266
00:13:16,253 --> 00:13:18,130
People who are not
getting laid.
267
00:13:18,255 --> 00:13:20,382
I got a call.
Lorne said,
268
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:23,219
"Do you wanna start
this show with me?"
269
00:13:24,386 --> 00:13:25,888
If you could
try to look at me
270
00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:27,306
instead of looking
directly into camera,
271
00:13:27,431 --> 00:13:29,058
- unless you--
- It's hard for me.
272
00:13:29,183 --> 00:13:32,061
- Why?
- Because I invented
273
00:13:32,186 --> 00:13:34,480
Weekend Update
so I could look in the camera.
274
00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:37,525
Tell me about that.
275
00:13:45,074 --> 00:13:46,951
The fuck, man?
276
00:13:47,076 --> 00:13:48,828
What the fucking shit, man?
277
00:13:50,454 --> 00:13:51,914
I wanted him to be a writer.
278
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:53,457
But he really wanted
to be in the cast,
279
00:13:53,582 --> 00:13:56,418
and I had room
for only six people.
280
00:13:56,585 --> 00:13:59,463
We had our final reading
of the first script
281
00:13:59,588 --> 00:14:01,966
with all of us
around a big table,
282
00:14:02,091 --> 00:14:03,801
and I did some reading.
283
00:14:03,926 --> 00:14:05,928
He was funny
in what I would describe
284
00:14:06,053 --> 00:14:07,304
as the right kind of way,
285
00:14:07,429 --> 00:14:09,515
and he had
a level of confidence.
286
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,768
I think he saw that,
given the cast,
287
00:14:12,893 --> 00:14:16,063
that I could be
the handsome one.
288
00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:18,983
Live from New York,
it's Saturday night!
289
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,365
I had heard
of Chevy's reputation,
290
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:28,617
what a spectacular
physical comedian he was,
291
00:14:28,742 --> 00:14:32,413
how funny, how gifted,
just masterful physical comedy.
292
00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:37,459
What's wrong with expressing
our patriotism?
293
00:14:37,626 --> 00:14:40,796
I'm proud to diaper my baby
with the stars and the stripes,
294
00:14:40,963 --> 00:14:42,506
or to stroll
on the boardwalk
295
00:14:42,631 --> 00:14:44,800
wearing an Old Glory
leisure suit.
296
00:14:44,925 --> 00:14:48,470
Chevy winds up being
the last one officially hired,
297
00:14:48,596 --> 00:14:52,141
and, interesting point,
does not sign a contract.
298
00:14:52,308 --> 00:14:54,810
...so I can be reminded,
again and again,
299
00:14:54,935 --> 00:14:56,478
and again...
300
00:14:56,604 --> 00:14:58,480
Gives him a sense of freedom.
301
00:14:58,647 --> 00:15:01,317
If you sign that contract,
you're not going anywhere else.
302
00:15:01,442 --> 00:15:05,154
I refer to saliva
disbursement difficulties,
303
00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:08,782
or as we are sometimes
called, "droolers."
304
00:15:11,076 --> 00:15:13,495
We at the Droolers
Anti-Defamation League
305
00:15:13,662 --> 00:15:15,456
are working to correct
the negative image
306
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:18,334
of droolers propagated
by the media.
307
00:15:18,459 --> 00:15:20,377
When I saw
"Saturday Night Live,"
308
00:15:20,502 --> 00:15:23,505
it absolutely
blew my doors off,
309
00:15:23,631 --> 00:15:26,133
and I set out to sign
everyone on the show.
310
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:28,552
No, New Shimmer is
a dessert topping.
311
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:30,596
It's a floor wax!
312
00:15:30,721 --> 00:15:32,473
It's a dessert topping!
313
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:34,350
It's a floor wax,
I'm telling you--
314
00:15:34,475 --> 00:15:36,018
It's a dessert topping,
you cow!
315
00:15:36,185 --> 00:15:38,354
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
calm down, you two,
316
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:40,856
New Shimmer's a floor wax
and a dessert topping.
317
00:15:42,358 --> 00:15:44,360
Automatically,
he's markedly different.
318
00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:46,445
Chevy doesn't really care
about being liked.
319
00:15:46,570 --> 00:15:48,197
You're doing
very well so far.
320
00:15:48,322 --> 00:15:49,448
- Thank you.
- Everybody loves the show.
321
00:15:49,573 --> 00:15:51,283
- The song was great, and...
- Thank you.
322
00:15:51,408 --> 00:15:53,702
...all I can say is
relax and take your shirt off.
323
00:15:55,621 --> 00:15:57,373
All too soon,
he's giving notes
324
00:15:57,498 --> 00:15:59,375
to his other cast members.
325
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:01,085
Danny came up
to my office, he said,
326
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:02,670
"You gotta talk to Chase,"
and I said, "What?"
327
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:06,090
He said, "He gave me notes
on my Scottish accent."
328
00:16:07,132 --> 00:16:09,009
That's not a great recipe
329
00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:11,053
for being one of the gang.
330
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:15,057
"Carol Burnett" was
the big show at the time.
331
00:16:15,182 --> 00:16:16,767
Won Emmy after Emmy.
332
00:16:16,892 --> 00:16:20,854
Chevy or Lorne would say,
"If you come up with an idea,"
333
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,440
the understanding was,
"Okay, Carol Burnett would
334
00:16:23,565 --> 00:16:26,026
do it this way,
how are we gonna do it?"
335
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:29,446
It's just a word association,
I'll throw you out a few words.
336
00:16:29,571 --> 00:16:31,073
Anything that comes
to your mind,
337
00:16:31,198 --> 00:16:32,533
just throw back at me,
okay, just kind of
338
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:33,951
an arbitrary thing,
like if I said dog,
339
00:16:34,076 --> 00:16:35,077
you'd say...
340
00:16:35,202 --> 00:16:36,328
- Tree.
- Tree.
341
00:16:36,453 --> 00:16:37,871
These little asides about
342
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:39,748
drugs and sex and race
343
00:16:39,873 --> 00:16:42,751
and, you know, he sort of
personified that--
344
00:16:42,876 --> 00:16:45,254
that dangerous quality
345
00:16:45,379 --> 00:16:47,631
that "Saturday Night Live" had
at the time.
346
00:16:47,756 --> 00:16:49,299
Negro.
347
00:16:50,926 --> 00:16:53,554
Whitey.
348
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:55,180
Tar baby.
349
00:17:00,728 --> 00:17:02,271
What'd you say?
350
00:17:02,396 --> 00:17:04,398
Lorne had said
from the very beginning,
351
00:17:04,523 --> 00:17:06,567
"Let's just make
each other laugh,
352
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:09,236
and if we do that,
we'll put it on television."
353
00:17:09,361 --> 00:17:12,448
It was exciting,
and it was terrifying.
354
00:17:13,991 --> 00:17:16,869
- Spear-chucker.
- White trash.
355
00:17:16,994 --> 00:17:18,954
- Jungle bunny.
- Honky!
356
00:17:20,414 --> 00:17:22,291
- Spade!
- Honky-honky!
357
00:17:25,961 --> 00:17:27,796
- Nigger.
- Dead honky.
358
00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:33,886
He became a writer for me.
359
00:17:34,011 --> 00:17:35,262
I never asked him to do it.
360
00:17:35,387 --> 00:17:37,056
He came in to say,
361
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:38,640
"Hey, I'm gonna write
for your ass."
362
00:17:38,807 --> 00:17:41,143
And now as a public service
to those of our viewers
363
00:17:41,268 --> 00:17:42,811
who have difficulty
with their hearing,
364
00:17:42,936 --> 00:17:45,230
- our top story tonight...
- Our top story!
365
00:17:45,355 --> 00:17:47,441
- President Ford is finally...
- President Ford!
366
00:17:47,566 --> 00:17:49,068
...over that stubborn
week-long cold.
367
00:17:49,193 --> 00:17:51,487
...over that stubborn!
Week-long cold!
368
00:17:51,612 --> 00:17:53,363
The news
for the hard of hearing
369
00:17:53,489 --> 00:17:55,824
is a piece
that he came up with
370
00:17:55,991 --> 00:17:57,493
which only he and I did.
371
00:17:57,659 --> 00:17:59,495
And now,
"Weekend Update"
372
00:17:59,661 --> 00:18:01,538
with Chevy Chase.
373
00:18:01,663 --> 00:18:03,332
No...
374
00:18:03,457 --> 00:18:05,375
I love it
when you make noise.
375
00:18:07,377 --> 00:18:08,962
Remember when--
I gotta go.
376
00:18:10,506 --> 00:18:13,425
Good evening, I'm Chevy Chase,
and you're not.
377
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:15,094
His delivery,
"I'm Chevy Chase,
378
00:18:15,219 --> 00:18:16,470
and you're not,"
you know, the arrogance
379
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:19,431
of the WASP-y upper class,
380
00:18:19,556 --> 00:18:22,059
it worked perfectly
for the acerbic tone
381
00:18:22,184 --> 00:18:23,977
of Update.
382
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,688
Originally, he had
a funny name for his character,
383
00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:29,358
and I went,
"No, just say your real name."
384
00:18:29,483 --> 00:18:31,693
Two weeks late,
that could be emotion.
385
00:18:33,987 --> 00:18:36,698
Don't worry about it,
I'll take care of it, okay?
386
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:39,118
Okay, goodbye, Barbara--
Margaret, I'm sorry.
387
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:44,748
Good evening,
I'm Chevy Chase, and you're not.
388
00:18:44,873 --> 00:18:46,542
Lorne used to describe
the ratings,
389
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:49,962
that it would start,
and then would get a bump
390
00:18:50,087 --> 00:18:51,880
at Weekend Update.
391
00:18:52,005 --> 00:18:54,049
The President is seen here
wearing a corsage
392
00:18:54,216 --> 00:18:57,594
given to him at an artificial
limb-maker's convention.
393
00:18:57,719 --> 00:19:01,431
Chevy had this runway
in Weekend Update.
394
00:19:01,557 --> 00:19:06,436
They created an environment
where he could be himself.
395
00:19:07,771 --> 00:19:10,065
That's when he starts
to really make
396
00:19:10,232 --> 00:19:11,900
a much larger impression.
397
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:20,242
There was something
that was so much just fun
398
00:19:20,409 --> 00:19:22,244
about all the things
that he would do,
399
00:19:22,369 --> 00:19:23,912
and he was fearless.
400
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:25,414
Oh, hi.
401
00:19:25,539 --> 00:19:27,416
I'm Ronald Reagan.
402
00:19:28,083 --> 00:19:29,751
Oh, sure, I play
the organ too.
403
00:19:31,295 --> 00:19:32,588
"Saturday Night Live" was
404
00:19:32,754 --> 00:19:36,216
sort of an extension
of '60s counter-culture,
405
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:38,385
and recreational drugs,
406
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:39,970
what can you say, they were--
407
00:19:40,095 --> 00:19:42,139
they were absolutely everywhere
at that time.
408
00:19:43,765 --> 00:19:45,726
We started making money, and...
409
00:19:45,851 --> 00:19:50,189
Tuesday became the late night on
the show to write the scripts.
410
00:19:50,314 --> 00:19:52,649
Because read-through was
on Wednesday,
411
00:19:52,774 --> 00:19:55,110
and to help stay up
as we made money,
412
00:19:55,277 --> 00:19:56,945
people were doing drugs.
413
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:01,450
Hello?
414
00:20:01,617 --> 00:20:05,078
Everybody was
taking cocaine on the show.
415
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:08,624
You have a disposable income
you never had, and...
416
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:11,460
the drug cocaine is not
a friend of any personality,
417
00:20:11,627 --> 00:20:13,128
I don't think-- you know,
Gilda called it
418
00:20:13,253 --> 00:20:14,713
the devil's dandruff.
419
00:20:14,838 --> 00:20:17,090
I tried every powder
and pill going.
420
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:18,425
We all did back then.
421
00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:20,636
I didn't much like
the coke, though.
422
00:20:20,761 --> 00:20:22,971
The person
that they worried about the most
423
00:20:23,138 --> 00:20:24,306
was Chevy.
424
00:20:24,431 --> 00:20:27,809
He was...
doing a lot of drugs.
425
00:20:31,146 --> 00:20:33,357
Handling
a lot of fame really fast,
426
00:20:33,482 --> 00:20:35,484
while on drugs,
when you don't have
427
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:37,819
the strongest
emotional foundation,
428
00:20:37,945 --> 00:20:41,782
that's a lot
to stay balanced--
429
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:44,326
to stay upright
on your surfboard
430
00:20:44,451 --> 00:20:45,994
in such choppy surf.
431
00:20:46,161 --> 00:20:49,748
He was the one
that people went nuts over.
432
00:20:50,499 --> 00:20:52,125
Gilda once told me
that she went to Florida,
433
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:53,794
and her mother said,
434
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:55,921
"Do you, like,
really know him?"
435
00:20:56,046 --> 00:20:58,423
Feeling famous wasn't
a big deal to me.
436
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:00,384
I didn't care one way
or the other, really.
437
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:02,344
Let's start again
so you say it
438
00:21:02,469 --> 00:21:03,971
in a complete sentence.
439
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:07,140
You bitch.
440
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:08,767
Okay!
441
00:21:08,892 --> 00:21:11,603
I was on a bus.
I looked up.
442
00:21:11,728 --> 00:21:13,647
And there was
a picture of me
443
00:21:13,772 --> 00:21:15,816
on the cover
of New York magazine.
444
00:21:15,941 --> 00:21:18,944
And I realized,
that's it, I'm famous.
445
00:21:19,069 --> 00:21:21,738
Then I just looked around
at everybody like this.
446
00:21:27,244 --> 00:21:29,246
We go to the Emmy Awards,
447
00:21:29,371 --> 00:21:30,789
- and...
- The nominees are...
448
00:21:30,914 --> 00:21:32,874
...we were at
the grownups table now.
449
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,669
It was Carol Burnett.
There's the old guard.
450
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:37,879
And here were these
bunch of hooligans, you know,
451
00:21:38,046 --> 00:21:39,881
dressed in tuxedos.
452
00:21:40,048 --> 00:21:41,675
And the winner is...
453
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,012
Chevy Chase!
NBC's "Saturday Night."
454
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:01,903
At the Emmys,
we all won for writing,
455
00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:03,363
and I won for best show,
456
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:06,825
and it was, wow, you know,
457
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:09,745
uh, impossible
not to get carried away.
458
00:22:09,911 --> 00:22:12,581
Needless to say,
this is, uh...
459
00:22:12,706 --> 00:22:14,207
totally expected
on my part.
460
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:16,960
Uh...
461
00:22:20,464 --> 00:22:22,591
Jacqueline,
she was beautiful.
462
00:22:22,716 --> 00:22:25,302
I would show her picture
to Lorne and say,
463
00:22:25,427 --> 00:22:27,220
"Well, you know--"
Lorne would say,
464
00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:28,680
"You don't love her."
465
00:22:29,806 --> 00:22:31,433
"What do you mean?
Look at her."
466
00:22:33,143 --> 00:22:35,645
He fell in love
with Jacqueline.
467
00:22:35,771 --> 00:22:39,149
That was a tactical error
on many levels.
468
00:22:40,108 --> 00:22:42,778
Jacqueline wouldn't
move to New York City,
469
00:22:42,903 --> 00:22:45,113
and I wanted to be with her.
470
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:47,616
There was those rumors
that, you know,
471
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:49,785
he was given an ultimatum
by Jacqueline.
472
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:52,788
Okay,
quiet on the floor, please.
473
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:56,249
He said, "My girlfriend
wants to live in LA."
474
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,753
It spoke to people
thinking he was disingenuous.
475
00:23:01,171 --> 00:23:03,507
You guys all went
to LA for his wedding.
476
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:06,676
Yeah, and I remember being
on the plane, everyone--
477
00:23:06,802 --> 00:23:08,845
there was a lottery,
we wrote down dates that
478
00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:10,514
we thought that
there would-- you know,
479
00:23:10,639 --> 00:23:12,015
the divorce
would happen, okay?
480
00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:14,267
So it was like, "Yeah, yeah,
this is gonna last."
481
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:15,977
Oh, God.
482
00:23:18,688 --> 00:23:19,898
I was just off.
483
00:23:20,023 --> 00:23:21,566
I don't think
I really understood
484
00:23:21,691 --> 00:23:23,276
what I wanted.
485
00:23:26,696 --> 00:23:29,241
A birdy told Gilda,
and Gilda told me.
486
00:23:29,991 --> 00:23:32,536
That's how I found out
that Chevy was leaving the show.
487
00:23:33,662 --> 00:23:35,705
It was shocking.
488
00:23:35,831 --> 00:23:37,958
We-- We just started.
489
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:40,085
We were just at the Emmys
where all the grownups
490
00:23:40,210 --> 00:23:42,754
are first finding out
what-- who we are
491
00:23:42,879 --> 00:23:45,757
and what we're doing.
Why now?
492
00:23:47,551 --> 00:23:50,178
I never had any plans ever.
493
00:23:50,303 --> 00:23:53,056
Uh, I had agents
494
00:23:53,181 --> 00:23:54,558
who had plans.
495
00:23:54,683 --> 00:23:57,853
So... and at the time
I was hot,
496
00:23:57,978 --> 00:24:01,523
so it wasn't too tough
for the agents to see that.
497
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:04,901
I said,
"We're just beginning here,
498
00:24:05,026 --> 00:24:06,611
and I think
you're at the center of it,"
499
00:24:06,736 --> 00:24:09,072
but we were never gonna fight.
500
00:24:09,197 --> 00:24:11,032
Neither of us
would've done that.
501
00:24:12,868 --> 00:24:14,953
The forces pulling him were
502
00:24:15,078 --> 00:24:16,746
money, power,
and all of that,
503
00:24:16,872 --> 00:24:19,040
and when Hollywood wants you,
they're pretty good at it.
504
00:24:21,751 --> 00:24:23,170
He used to say,
505
00:24:23,295 --> 00:24:26,631
"Jackie doesn't like me
when I'm performing.
506
00:24:26,756 --> 00:24:28,967
I turn into somebody.
507
00:24:29,092 --> 00:24:31,386
My ego comes out,
508
00:24:31,511 --> 00:24:33,472
and she doesn't like it.
509
00:24:33,597 --> 00:24:36,057
She would rather
I just be a writer."
510
00:24:48,403 --> 00:24:50,363
In hindsight,
511
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:53,033
I felt it was a mistake
512
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:54,951
to...
513
00:24:55,076 --> 00:24:57,037
leave "SNL."
514
00:24:57,162 --> 00:24:58,747
It really was
the kind of show that
515
00:24:58,914 --> 00:25:03,126
I was a part of making,
with Lorne.
516
00:25:03,251 --> 00:25:05,921
And it's the kind of thing
I wanted to do.
517
00:25:14,804 --> 00:25:17,933
This is a weekly pull.
Chevy gets fan mail weekly.
518
00:25:18,099 --> 00:25:20,060
And it's kind of
a massive amount,
519
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:22,979
- so this is sort of...
- A little bit.
520
00:25:23,104 --> 00:25:25,524
This is half
of a weekly amount.
521
00:25:25,649 --> 00:25:28,985
This looks good,
it's "priority-tet."
522
00:25:29,110 --> 00:25:31,655
- That means it's from Poland.
- Let's see what we got.
523
00:25:31,780 --> 00:25:33,657
I hope there are
no animal parts in there.
524
00:25:33,782 --> 00:25:35,784
"I would like to write you
a big thank you
525
00:25:35,951 --> 00:25:38,036
for all the excellent roles,
and the endless emotions
526
00:25:38,161 --> 00:25:39,955
- that I experienced."
- Thank you.
527
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,290
"One of the films which I am
emotionally attached to
528
00:25:42,457 --> 00:25:44,209
is 'Foul Play,'
if you could find a moment
529
00:25:44,334 --> 00:25:46,545
to sign the photos, it would be
priceless for me to have."
530
00:25:46,670 --> 00:25:49,464
Sometimes you get
mail from dogs,
531
00:25:49,589 --> 00:25:51,466
actual animals.
532
00:25:51,591 --> 00:25:53,593
Joy Heath.
533
00:25:54,970 --> 00:25:57,013
"Please shoot my husband."
534
00:25:57,806 --> 00:26:00,642
We met about
four or five years ago.
535
00:26:00,767 --> 00:26:03,687
I was brought on
to bring him to some state,
536
00:26:03,812 --> 00:26:05,313
it might've been
Chicago or Wisconsin,
537
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,107
or something like that,
and we started traveling,
538
00:26:07,232 --> 00:26:08,942
and then we just hang out,
our families got along.
539
00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:10,402
They get along really well,
and we started
540
00:26:10,527 --> 00:26:12,445
doing things together with
my children and his children.
541
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:14,406
And we just bonded
like that, and--
542
00:26:14,531 --> 00:26:15,824
- Yep.
- I don't know--
543
00:26:15,991 --> 00:26:17,492
I don't even-- I don't know
how we became so close.
544
00:26:17,617 --> 00:26:18,827
But we're here
and we enjoy it.
545
00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:21,121
Well, it was your
homosexual proclivities, but--
546
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:22,581
One time I didn't have
a shirt on,
547
00:26:22,706 --> 00:26:24,040
it wasn't my fault.
548
00:26:24,165 --> 00:26:25,750
"I'm a great admirer
and fan of yours.
549
00:26:25,875 --> 00:26:27,794
I love your performances
in 'National Lampoon Vacation'
550
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:29,004
and 'Community.'
Thank you for being
551
00:26:29,170 --> 00:26:30,630
one of my biggest role models."
552
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:32,674
"My fiancée and I...
553
00:26:32,841 --> 00:26:36,553
would be ecstatic
if you attended our wedding."
554
00:26:37,345 --> 00:26:39,973
- Okay.
- Here's one from Spud.
555
00:26:40,098 --> 00:26:41,891
- Spud Toomer.
- Boy.
556
00:26:42,017 --> 00:26:43,935
"I sincerely appreciate
you taking the time
557
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:45,979
to read my letter, I truly enjoy
being part of your career
558
00:26:46,104 --> 00:26:47,939
and admire everything
you accomplished."
559
00:26:48,064 --> 00:26:51,109
He wants you to sign... these.
560
00:26:51,234 --> 00:26:53,069
Should I write
"To Spud Toomer"?
561
00:26:53,194 --> 00:26:55,697
- Yeah.
- "Wonderful prose."
562
00:26:55,864 --> 00:26:57,616
Wonderful prose.
563
00:26:57,741 --> 00:26:59,534
I was doing the fan mail,
564
00:26:59,701 --> 00:27:01,369
and I opened it up,
and it says,
565
00:27:01,494 --> 00:27:04,539
"Chevy, just wanna wish you
a happy 80th birthday.
566
00:27:04,706 --> 00:27:07,167
Miss you so much," you know,
"love to see you soon."
567
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:09,878
And then it said,
"Bill Clinton, love you."
568
00:27:10,003 --> 00:27:11,463
And I was like,
"Holy cow, man,
569
00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:13,381
you just got a birthday card
from Bill Clinton."
570
00:27:13,548 --> 00:27:14,924
Yeah.
571
00:27:16,092 --> 00:27:18,678
You know,
I really regard Bill
572
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:20,472
as one of
our greatest presidents.
573
00:27:20,597 --> 00:27:23,266
Really bright,
intelligent guy.
574
00:27:23,391 --> 00:27:25,685
Not terribly humorous.
575
00:27:25,810 --> 00:27:28,229
"Hello, Chevy, how're you?
576
00:27:28,396 --> 00:27:30,065
Thanks for calling.
577
00:27:30,231 --> 00:27:32,400
Hillary's on my head
right now.
578
00:27:32,567 --> 00:27:34,235
She's sitting on my head.
579
00:27:34,402 --> 00:27:37,864
She's stark naked.
I'll call you later."
580
00:27:38,907 --> 00:27:41,409
This is the way I am
at my age.
581
00:27:41,534 --> 00:27:42,911
Just a child.
582
00:27:43,078 --> 00:27:46,539
- Yep.
- An angry child.
583
00:27:54,631 --> 00:27:55,882
Hello.
584
00:27:56,966 --> 00:27:59,094
You, what are you doing here?
585
00:27:59,219 --> 00:28:00,804
Two years after
a premiere of a show
586
00:28:00,929 --> 00:28:02,430
where no one knows him.
587
00:28:02,597 --> 00:28:04,391
Now co-starring Goldie Hawn.
588
00:28:06,059 --> 00:28:08,269
I didn't really know him.
589
00:28:08,436 --> 00:28:10,313
I knew he was funny.
590
00:28:10,438 --> 00:28:12,982
And then I went up
to the office to meet him,
591
00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:17,112
and I opened the door,
and there comes this 6'4" guy.
592
00:28:17,237 --> 00:28:19,906
He's handsome.
He's got presence.
593
00:28:20,031 --> 00:28:21,783
I mean,
aside from being funny,
594
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:24,536
but I mean, he really was
kind of adorable.
595
00:28:24,661 --> 00:28:26,371
And I was wearing
sort of a purse,
596
00:28:26,496 --> 00:28:29,165
it was crocheted,
but it was shapeless,
597
00:28:29,290 --> 00:28:32,419
but it did look
like an udder of a cow.
598
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:36,756
He literally took his hand
and lifted it on my purse,
599
00:28:36,881 --> 00:28:39,259
and he said, "Cough."
600
00:28:39,384 --> 00:28:41,302
That's a funny group
for Turk to belong to.
601
00:28:41,469 --> 00:28:44,472
Hey-- I play detective,
you play lady in distress.
602
00:28:44,639 --> 00:28:47,308
Hey, wait a minute,
it's my ass they're after.
603
00:28:47,475 --> 00:28:48,977
I'm sorry, you're right,
604
00:28:49,102 --> 00:28:51,271
it is your ass they're after,
and it's my job
605
00:28:51,396 --> 00:28:53,940
to see to it
that I get there first.
606
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:55,984
...I could honestly go on
607
00:28:56,109 --> 00:29:00,405
about how amazing
a chemistry we had.
608
00:29:00,530 --> 00:29:04,784
We really were aligned
in our timing,
609
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:07,328
and we could feel each other.
610
00:29:11,875 --> 00:29:14,377
Chevy has
a great starting vehicle.
611
00:29:14,502 --> 00:29:16,546
It's not that
things are easy for him,
612
00:29:16,671 --> 00:29:18,882
but that who Chevy is,
613
00:29:19,007 --> 00:29:21,676
in his gumption
and confidence,
614
00:29:21,801 --> 00:29:23,511
it plays well
out in Hollywood.
615
00:29:23,678 --> 00:29:25,513
He's off and running.
616
00:29:28,016 --> 00:29:29,976
I was a single parent.
617
00:29:30,101 --> 00:29:32,937
I had two children,
Katie and Oliver.
618
00:29:33,062 --> 00:29:35,064
We went out together.
619
00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:37,692
We were both presenting
something at an event,
620
00:29:37,859 --> 00:29:39,360
and then we came back together,
621
00:29:39,527 --> 00:29:42,030
and Oliver,
he had fallen asleep
622
00:29:42,155 --> 00:29:44,407
in front
of the television set.
623
00:29:44,532 --> 00:29:46,868
And he went over to him...
624
00:29:48,203 --> 00:29:49,954
and he picked him up...
625
00:29:50,079 --> 00:29:51,873
and he carried him to bed.
626
00:29:52,665 --> 00:29:54,417
And he came down the stairs,
and he looked at me,
627
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:56,669
he said, "Go up,
he's waiting for you."
628
00:29:57,378 --> 00:30:00,507
And I went upstairs, and I sat
with Oliver for a while.
629
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:02,717
And then I came downstairs.
630
00:30:02,884 --> 00:30:06,930
And he was playing
the piano, softly.
631
00:30:07,055 --> 00:30:09,265
And he looked up at me,
and he said...
632
00:30:10,225 --> 00:30:12,519
"I can't believe
you're doing all this alone."
633
00:30:13,770 --> 00:30:15,146
He cared.
634
00:30:15,271 --> 00:30:18,733
And that's the other part
of the wild man.
635
00:30:18,858 --> 00:30:20,735
The man who fell
over everything.
636
00:30:20,860 --> 00:30:22,737
The guy who had faux pas.
637
00:30:22,862 --> 00:30:25,573
The really funny,
wacky, crazy guy.
638
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:28,117
Also has a deep heart.
639
00:30:50,682 --> 00:30:52,100
Chevy Chase,
one of the most
640
00:30:52,267 --> 00:30:54,185
successful alumni
of "Saturday Night Live,"
641
00:30:54,310 --> 00:30:56,104
is back up on the big screen.
642
00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:58,523
This your place, Carl?
643
00:30:58,648 --> 00:31:00,400
Yeah, what do you think?
644
00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:02,777
It's really--
It's really awful.
645
00:31:02,944 --> 00:31:04,279
Oh, sit down, come on--
646
00:31:04,445 --> 00:31:06,447
No, I don't wanna stick
to anything in here.
647
00:31:06,573 --> 00:31:09,367
"Caddyshack" is probably
the biggest showcase
648
00:31:09,492 --> 00:31:12,245
for all the things
that are Chevy Chase.
649
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:14,539
He's sexy,
he's debonair,
650
00:31:14,664 --> 00:31:16,457
he's cool, he's funny,
651
00:31:16,624 --> 00:31:18,126
it's all there.
652
00:31:18,251 --> 00:31:20,295
Ty, what'd you shoot today?
653
00:31:20,461 --> 00:31:21,838
Oh, I don't keep score, judge.
654
00:31:21,963 --> 00:31:23,506
Oh, well,
how do you measure yourself
655
00:31:23,631 --> 00:31:25,717
- with other golfers?
- By height.
656
00:31:25,842 --> 00:31:27,302
As a kid, I studied him.
657
00:31:27,468 --> 00:31:29,596
He would throw away the gold
658
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:31,139
and push the silver, right?
659
00:31:31,264 --> 00:31:33,975
Like, he would say
something that is like,
660
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:35,894
that's funny,
and then under the breath
661
00:31:36,019 --> 00:31:38,646
quickly throw away something,
that's the A-plus joke.
662
00:31:38,813 --> 00:31:41,399
I'm gonna end up working in a
lumber yard the rest of my life.
663
00:31:41,524 --> 00:31:43,234
What's wrong with lumber?
I own two lumber yards.
664
00:31:43,359 --> 00:31:45,445
I notice you don't spend
too much time there.
665
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:47,614
- I'm not sure where they are.
- "Caddyshack" is
666
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:51,117
one of the greatest comedies
ever made, bar none.
667
00:31:51,242 --> 00:31:52,577
And you can't do it without him.

00:32:25,735 --> 00:32:27,737
The "National Lampoon's
Vacation" came out.
680
00:32:27,862 --> 00:32:29,197
My parents were like,
681
00:32:29,364 --> 00:32:31,032
"Oh, my God, this happened?!
682
00:32:31,157 --> 00:32:32,575
Like, this happened to us!"
683
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:34,452
Sorry, folks, we're closed
684
00:32:34,577 --> 00:32:36,371
for two weeks
to clean and repair
685
00:32:36,496 --> 00:32:38,915
America's favorite
family fun park.
686
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,000
Sorry!
Hyuck, hyuck, hyuck!
687
00:32:46,297 --> 00:32:48,633
I think
dads everywhere understood
688
00:32:48,758 --> 00:32:50,593
Clark Griswold.
689
00:32:50,718 --> 00:32:52,720
At first I didn't wanna
take this vacation.
690
00:32:54,263 --> 00:32:56,224
And now I'm glad I did.
691
00:32:56,391 --> 00:32:58,226
It's given me a chance
to spend a lot more time
692
00:32:58,393 --> 00:33:00,728
- with you and...
- Audrey.
693
00:33:00,853 --> 00:33:02,271
Audrey, yeah.
694
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,192
"National Lampoon's Vacation"
695
00:33:06,317 --> 00:33:07,944
with Chevy Chase took in
696
00:33:08,069 --> 00:33:11,072
$49.4 million
at the box office.
697
00:33:11,197 --> 00:33:14,367
Chevy had massive,
massive movie star hits.
698
00:33:14,492 --> 00:33:17,245
Ah-ah-ah-ah, new car,
I'll take it.
699
00:33:19,414 --> 00:33:20,957
- Waitress?
- He's got it all,
700
00:33:21,082 --> 00:33:23,209
ladies and gentlemen,
Chevy Chase.
701
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,753
Here is Chevy Chase!
702
00:33:27,755 --> 00:33:29,257
He gave me a Cartier clock,
703
00:33:29,382 --> 00:33:31,259
and on the back of it,
it was engraved,
704
00:33:31,384 --> 00:33:33,428
"Keep getting me
the six million."
705
00:33:35,096 --> 00:33:36,597
Chevy Chase!
706
00:33:38,266 --> 00:33:40,435
May I help you, Doctor...
707
00:33:40,601 --> 00:33:42,520
Oh, it's me, Dr. Rosenpenis,
I'm just here to check out--
708
00:33:42,645 --> 00:33:44,105
- Doctor who?
- the family's file.
709
00:33:44,272 --> 00:33:45,648
Dr. Rosen-Rosen,
I'm here to--
710
00:33:45,773 --> 00:33:47,400
Could you give
that name again, I--
711
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:50,111
It's Dr. Rosen,
I-- I wanna check out--
712
00:33:50,278 --> 00:33:51,696
- Doctor who?
- Dr. Rosen.
713
00:33:51,821 --> 00:33:53,364
Where's the record room?
714
00:33:53,489 --> 00:33:55,491
In my early days,
if you watch "Van Wilder,"
715
00:33:55,616 --> 00:33:57,452
I'm just doing
a Chevy Chase impression.
716
00:33:57,577 --> 00:33:59,954
- Where am I?
- You're in the records room.
717
00:34:00,121 --> 00:34:01,622
Can I get you something?
718
00:34:01,748 --> 00:34:03,833
Uh, yeah, do you have
The Beatles' "White Album"?
719
00:34:03,958 --> 00:34:07,920
I've seen "Fletch,"
I don't know, 75 times.
720
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:10,173
Oh, I just got
out of the shower.
721
00:34:10,298 --> 00:34:12,842
Yeah-- can I borrow
your towel for a sec?
722
00:34:12,967 --> 00:34:14,761
My car just hit a water buffalo.
723
00:34:15,970 --> 00:34:17,138
For me, the height
724
00:34:17,263 --> 00:34:19,265
of Chevy's filmmaking was
725
00:34:19,390 --> 00:34:21,559
"National Lampoon
Christmas Vacation."
726
00:34:21,684 --> 00:34:24,062
I just can't get enough
of that movie.
727
00:34:24,187 --> 00:34:26,939
There are plenty
of shopping days left
728
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:30,401
until adulteries-- adulthood--
which is to say Christmas.
729
00:34:30,526 --> 00:34:33,821
Chevy made movies that you wanna
see over and over again.
730
00:34:33,946 --> 00:34:36,699
- What is your objective?
- My objective?
731
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:38,868
Well, I object to taking
a girl out, you know,
732
00:34:38,993 --> 00:34:41,329
and buying her dinner, and then
she won't put out for you.
733
00:34:41,496 --> 00:34:43,498
- I'm Lucky Day!
- I'm Ned Nederlander!
734
00:34:43,623 --> 00:34:45,666
And I'm Dusty Bottoms,
and together we're--

I met Chevy when I was 23.
759
00:35:53,234 --> 00:35:56,445
So, I was two years
out of college.
760
00:35:56,571 --> 00:35:58,489
It was my second job.
761
00:35:58,614 --> 00:36:01,367
Working on a Chevy Chase movie.
762
00:36:01,492 --> 00:36:05,329
The last thing
I wanted was to...
763
00:36:05,454 --> 00:36:06,914
fall in love.
764
00:36:07,081 --> 00:36:08,416
Yeah.
765
00:36:08,583 --> 00:36:11,085
- Um...
- Chevy's calling.
766
00:36:11,252 --> 00:36:12,920
Take it!
767
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:15,882
Hi, honey!
768
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:17,842
Hi, don't forget
to mention how much
769
00:36:17,967 --> 00:36:19,260
we make love every day.
770
00:36:22,263 --> 00:36:26,267
Okay, I'm on camera,
so they might've captured that.
771
00:36:26,434 --> 00:36:29,270
And three times on weekends.
772
00:36:29,395 --> 00:36:31,772
- Goodbye!
- Okay, love you, honey.
773
00:36:36,819 --> 00:36:40,448
I was working on a movie
called "Under the Rainbow."
774
00:36:40,615 --> 00:36:43,659
Jayni was the production
coordinator in it.
775
00:36:44,952 --> 00:36:46,871
My trailer was
pulled right up...
776
00:36:46,996 --> 00:36:51,209
near to where
the production unit was.
777
00:36:51,334 --> 00:36:54,420
And I could hear her voice.
778
00:36:54,545 --> 00:36:56,756
And I'd think,
"What a beautiful voice."
779
00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:59,926
But I never looked
to see who it was.
780
00:37:00,051 --> 00:37:02,136
Finally, I sort of
did this, you know,
781
00:37:02,261 --> 00:37:04,347
where you look in the door.
782
00:37:04,472 --> 00:37:06,933
And I saw her,
and she was gorgeous.
783
00:37:08,476 --> 00:37:11,479
We were shooting
at Union Station, Downtown LA.
784
00:37:11,604 --> 00:37:15,191
It was the end of the day,
and he came up and said,
785
00:37:15,316 --> 00:37:17,902
"Would you go with me
to the premiere
786
00:37:18,027 --> 00:37:20,029
of my movie tonight?
787
00:37:20,154 --> 00:37:21,989
Goldie is in Paris,
788
00:37:22,114 --> 00:37:24,367
and Jessica Lange...
789
00:37:24,492 --> 00:37:27,954
or some other actress
has the flu."
790
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:31,165
And I looked up, I said,
"Not if I'm third choice."
791
00:37:31,332 --> 00:37:34,001
And he looked very crestfallen.
792
00:37:34,168 --> 00:37:35,920
Oh...
793
00:37:36,045 --> 00:37:38,589
Wasn't my job to give him
his call time,
794
00:37:38,714 --> 00:37:41,175
but I offered
to call him with it.
795
00:37:41,342 --> 00:37:43,344
And he came on
all out of breath,
796
00:37:43,469 --> 00:37:45,513
and I said,
"Do you still want me
797
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,140
to come with you tonight?"
And he said, "Really?"
798
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:50,851
We went,
and that was the beginning
799
00:37:50,977 --> 00:37:53,062
of my falling in love
with him.

to get her on my side.
804
00:38:07,535 --> 00:38:09,120
We had a very small wedding
805
00:38:09,245 --> 00:38:11,247
in the backyard,
806
00:38:11,372 --> 00:38:13,791
including the caterers,
40 people.
807
00:38:15,835 --> 00:38:17,920
She's the great love
of my life.
808
00:38:18,045 --> 00:38:20,881
She's only
three feet tall-- no.
809
00:38:23,342 --> 00:38:25,177
We were married...
810
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:26,846
and...
811
00:38:26,971 --> 00:38:31,392
it's only a year since
he saw that last tape.
812
00:38:32,351 --> 00:38:34,729
And look what's happened.
813
00:38:34,854 --> 00:38:37,481
- This is Cydney.
- It's Cydney.
814
00:38:40,401 --> 00:38:42,445
The way
he took care of me
815
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:44,447
when I was pregnant.
816
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:48,034
And at all the birthings
of the girls,
817
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:51,078
and seeing him as a daddy,
818
00:38:51,245 --> 00:38:53,873
and how happy it made him.
819
00:38:53,998 --> 00:38:56,917
- Hi, pee-wees!
- Hi, Dad!
820
00:38:57,084 --> 00:38:58,627
They go through
their ups and downs,
821
00:38:58,753 --> 00:39:00,588
I mean, it's not perfect.
822
00:39:00,755 --> 00:39:02,590
but they really hold on
823
00:39:02,715 --> 00:39:04,884
to one another,
and they really love each other.
824
00:39:06,594 --> 00:39:09,930
She's beautiful
and smart as a whip.
825
00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:16,437
I don't have much to say
about her that isn't good.
826
00:39:16,562 --> 00:39:18,064
No, I know,
but it's just nice
827
00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:21,025
after hearing about Jacqueline
and what have you--
828
00:39:22,610 --> 00:39:24,862
Oh, I'm sorry.
Your mistake?
829
00:39:24,987 --> 00:39:27,948
that you found someone
and that you're--
830
00:39:28,074 --> 00:39:30,159
you know, you have
three beautiful daughters.
831
00:39:30,284 --> 00:39:33,120
Yeah, no, I don't think
a lot of people have
832
00:39:33,287 --> 00:39:34,663
the happiness I have.
833
00:39:34,789 --> 00:39:37,291
Marriages are breaking up,
834
00:39:37,458 --> 00:39:39,460
kids do bad things--
all that stuff
835
00:39:39,585 --> 00:39:42,505
that is family stuff,
it's tough.
836
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:45,633
Not just in America,
but even worse,
837
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,135
in let's say Russia,
or because--
838
00:39:48,302 --> 00:39:50,971
it must be nice
to be a Russian family, huh?
839
00:39:51,097 --> 00:39:52,390
Pass the fork.
840
00:39:55,643 --> 00:39:57,228
Thank you.
Come on.
841
00:39:57,353 --> 00:39:58,813
Oh, thanks.
842
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,323
Hi.
843
00:40:09,448 --> 00:40:10,908
Hello.
844
00:40:11,033 --> 00:40:13,160
- What's his name?
- That's Rubet.
845
00:40:13,327 --> 00:40:15,746
She will be 11 in July.
846
00:40:15,871 --> 00:40:17,415
- Oh, cool.
- Yeah.
847
00:40:17,540 --> 00:40:18,999
I have
a couple of 17 year olds.
848
00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:23,170
- Really?
- And... a 23 year old.
849
00:40:23,295 --> 00:40:25,005
We have everything.
850
00:40:25,172 --> 00:40:26,674
Cats, dogs,
851
00:40:26,799 --> 00:40:28,509
- we have a pelican.
- Really?
852
00:40:28,634 --> 00:40:29,969
No.
853
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:32,138
- Do I have a picture of my dog?
- Yeah.
854
00:40:33,222 --> 00:40:35,266
- That's my granddaughter.
- Cute.
855
00:40:35,391 --> 00:40:38,352
- She's only seven months.
- Seven months, wow.
856
00:40:38,477 --> 00:40:40,354
- She speaks French.
- Really?
857
00:40:40,521 --> 00:40:41,939
No.
858
00:40:42,064 --> 00:40:43,858
I'll just keep lying to you.
859
00:40:43,983 --> 00:40:46,360
- I keep buying it.
- Well, I'll have a steak.
860
00:40:46,527 --> 00:40:47,903
No, I'm kidding.
861
00:40:48,028 --> 00:40:50,948
We came in to get some flowers.
They're for my wife.
862
00:40:51,073 --> 00:40:52,867
I have you on file,
so if you wanna know, like,
863
00:40:53,033 --> 00:40:54,201
- what you got last time--
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
864
00:40:54,368 --> 00:40:57,204
- Let's look.
- Yeah, let me take a look.
865
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,709
Oh...
866
00:41:01,876 --> 00:41:03,586
- beautiful.
- They're actually tulips.
867
00:41:03,711 --> 00:41:05,004
They're not peonies.
These are tulips.
868
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:06,839
- They look like peonies.
- Yeah, those are tulips.
869
00:41:06,964 --> 00:41:08,549
- That's your license.
- What?
870
00:41:08,716 --> 00:41:10,009
- That's your license.
- Yeah, I want you
871
00:41:10,134 --> 00:41:12,094
- to drive my car over here.
- Oh, yeah?
872
00:41:13,596 --> 00:41:15,973
What did I just give you
my license for?
873
00:41:16,098 --> 00:41:18,225
- This is what I meant.
- Perfect, thank you.
874
00:41:22,438 --> 00:41:25,065
These are for Jayni, my wife.
875
00:41:28,235 --> 00:41:29,820
I love her.
876
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,782
If she doesn't love 'em,
you tell me, but I'm--
877
00:41:33,908 --> 00:41:35,117
I guarantee
she'll love 'em.
878
00:41:35,242 --> 00:41:36,744
Do you want me
to sign something?
879
00:41:36,911 --> 00:41:38,621
- No, you're good.
- What do you mean I'm good?
880
00:41:38,746 --> 00:41:40,706
- I don't know what they cost.
- They're $400.
881
00:41:40,831 --> 00:41:43,083
- $400?
- Yeah.
882
00:41:44,668 --> 00:41:46,295
What?!
883
00:41:46,420 --> 00:41:48,088
For a little thing of flowers?
884
00:41:48,255 --> 00:41:50,090
That's a big thing,
I can give you a little thing.
885
00:41:50,257 --> 00:41:51,592
I'll bet you can.
886
00:41:51,717 --> 00:41:54,470
Yeah, okay, never mind.
887
00:41:54,595 --> 00:41:56,931
Oh, they really are pretty.
888
00:41:57,056 --> 00:41:59,016
Yeah, these are
particularly special.
889
00:41:59,141 --> 00:42:00,601
We don't have
these in regularly,
890
00:42:00,768 --> 00:42:02,728
- you can't always get those.
- Peonies?
891
00:42:02,853 --> 00:42:04,104
No, those are
actually tulips--
892
00:42:04,271 --> 00:42:05,940
I know, I know,
I was kidding you.
893
00:42:10,110 --> 00:42:12,404
By the way,
that's why I drive.
894
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:13,906
- Yeah.
- For people like you.
895
00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:15,741
Thank you.
896
00:42:21,705 --> 00:42:23,290
We spent
a lot of time together
897
00:42:23,457 --> 00:42:25,459
in the late '70s
898
00:42:25,626 --> 00:42:27,795
and early '80s.
899
00:42:27,962 --> 00:42:30,673
He was uniquely funny
900
00:42:30,798 --> 00:42:33,008
and pretty crazy.
901
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:38,138
When we were in Hawaii,
902
00:42:38,264 --> 00:42:39,974
he had somebody
903
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:42,726
ship in
many ounces of coke
904
00:42:42,851 --> 00:42:45,813
in a special
shaving cream can,
905
00:42:45,938 --> 00:42:47,481
which you could twist
in a certain way
906
00:42:47,606 --> 00:42:49,400
and get to the coke.
907
00:42:51,151 --> 00:42:53,279
Every so often,
we'd have some cocaine
908
00:42:53,404 --> 00:42:57,074
flown in from the...
from the mainland.
909
00:42:57,199 --> 00:42:58,492
"Mail's here!"
910
00:42:58,659 --> 00:43:00,744
Anyway.
911
00:43:07,209 --> 00:43:09,837
When I would visit Chevy in LA,
912
00:43:10,004 --> 00:43:11,505
I remember going
to one restaurant,
913
00:43:11,630 --> 00:43:13,173
and it was a circular table,
914
00:43:13,340 --> 00:43:15,968
and I think
there were about...
915
00:43:16,093 --> 00:43:19,972
maybe six to eight of us
around the table.
916
00:43:20,097 --> 00:43:22,516
And the only person
I knew was Chevy.
917
00:43:22,641 --> 00:43:25,185
But in the center of the table,
918
00:43:25,311 --> 00:43:27,896
there was,
like, a lazy Susan.
919
00:43:28,022 --> 00:43:30,649
There was kind of a pyramid.
920
00:43:30,774 --> 00:43:33,193
That pyramid was cocaine.
921
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,070
Oh, boy!
922
00:43:35,195 --> 00:43:38,490
Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
923
00:43:47,916 --> 00:43:50,628
"Modern Problems,"
there's such a thin line
924
00:43:50,753 --> 00:43:52,087
between what's going on
925
00:43:52,212 --> 00:43:54,882
in the movie
and in his life.
926
00:43:55,758 --> 00:43:57,801
Yes!
927
00:43:59,011 --> 00:44:03,223
I like it!
928
00:44:04,016 --> 00:44:05,601
The night before
we were starting to shoot
929
00:44:05,726 --> 00:44:07,186
"Modern Problems,"
Chevy just calls up,
930
00:44:07,311 --> 00:44:08,687
he's like,
"I'm not doing the movie,
931
00:44:08,812 --> 00:44:10,689
you have to fix the script."
932
00:44:12,775 --> 00:44:15,986
Alan Greisman, Ken Shapiro,
and I go up to Chevy's house.
933
00:44:17,196 --> 00:44:19,281
We start to go over
the script page by page,
934
00:44:19,406 --> 00:44:22,785
and Chevy pours coke
on the table
935
00:44:22,910 --> 00:44:25,120
and starts sniffing it.
936
00:44:25,245 --> 00:44:27,039
'Cause there
you're supposed to be having
937
00:44:27,164 --> 00:44:30,376
a rational discussion about
a movie that you're gonna do,
938
00:44:30,501 --> 00:44:34,755
and he's just snorting coke
like there's no tomorrow.
939
00:44:34,922 --> 00:44:37,257
We're sitting there,
kind of...
940
00:44:37,383 --> 00:44:39,927
not really wanting some,
but maybe, you know,
941
00:44:40,052 --> 00:44:41,845
but he's not
offering us any, okay?
942
00:44:41,970 --> 00:44:43,222
So we're in that space, okay,
943
00:44:43,347 --> 00:44:45,933
who does cocaine alone
in front of other people?
944
00:44:48,602 --> 00:44:50,771
So, by the time
we're three-quarters
945
00:44:50,938 --> 00:44:52,398
of the way
through the critique,
946
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:55,776
he says, "You know what,
I disagree with myself."
947
00:44:57,611 --> 00:45:01,615
So rationality was not high
on the agenda.
948
00:45:05,953 --> 00:45:08,080
Chevy had a weird relationship
949
00:45:08,205 --> 00:45:10,457
with the director
Ken Shapiro.
950
00:45:12,793 --> 00:45:16,672
Kenny wanted me to play
a dream that I was a plane,
951
00:45:16,797 --> 00:45:18,841
landing.
952
00:45:18,966 --> 00:45:21,719
He put landing lights
on my arms.
953
00:45:22,553 --> 00:45:25,055
They flipped the switch,
and he was uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
954
00:45:25,180 --> 00:45:26,974
And they thought
he was joking,
955
00:45:27,099 --> 00:45:30,394
so they let it go longer
than they "coulda, shoulda."
956
00:45:30,519 --> 00:45:33,647
All of a sudden,
he, like, passes out.
957
00:45:33,772 --> 00:45:36,316
So, the EMT's come, okay?
958
00:45:36,483 --> 00:45:38,318
And they do these questions,
how many fingers
959
00:45:38,485 --> 00:45:40,487
am I holding up?
Do you know what day it is?
960
00:45:40,612 --> 00:45:41,989
And what's your name?"
961
00:45:42,156 --> 00:45:44,074
And he goes,
"Don't you know who I am?"
962
00:45:44,199 --> 00:45:47,161
I mean, and my memory
of that is that...
963
00:45:47,327 --> 00:45:48,829
oh, come now.
964
00:45:48,996 --> 00:45:50,831
I'm not saying
he didn't feel something,
965
00:45:50,956 --> 00:45:53,667
but he certainly didn't
get electrocuted,
966
00:45:53,834 --> 00:45:56,086
or a full dose of something.
967
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,257
Chevy, you don't want
to work with him
968
00:46:00,382 --> 00:46:02,509
because he can be
so unpleasant
969
00:46:02,676 --> 00:46:05,012
and so gratuitously mean.
970
00:46:05,179 --> 00:46:07,890
And I don't think
he knows that he is.
971
00:46:08,015 --> 00:46:09,475
I think it's just--
972
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,185
it's an instinct.
973
00:46:14,188 --> 00:46:17,441
Sometimes, you know,
he was his own worst enemy.
974
00:46:19,026 --> 00:46:20,903
He would do things...
975
00:46:21,028 --> 00:46:23,781
that were emotional
or fought off insecurity
976
00:46:23,906 --> 00:46:26,158
that he shouldn't've done.
977
00:46:26,283 --> 00:46:28,243
Would you ever try to
talk to him about it? I mean--
978
00:46:28,368 --> 00:46:30,537
Yeah, I was very open
with him about it,
979
00:46:30,704 --> 00:46:32,289
and, um...
980
00:46:32,414 --> 00:46:34,041
to his credit,
he would listen.
981
00:46:34,208 --> 00:46:36,460
Whether he would take
the advice or not
982
00:46:36,585 --> 00:46:37,961
remained to be seen.
983
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,549
On the surface,
Chevy looks like the guy that
984
00:46:42,674 --> 00:46:45,052
everything went perfect for.
985
00:46:45,219 --> 00:46:48,263
It wasn't really the case,
you know?
986
00:46:48,388 --> 00:46:50,891
There was--
There was some darkness.
987
00:46:51,016 --> 00:46:52,226
Did anyone tell you
988
00:46:52,392 --> 00:46:53,727
about the Terry Sweeney
incident?
989
00:46:53,894 --> 00:46:55,562
I was there for it, yeah.
990
00:46:58,732 --> 00:47:01,485
It's Saturday Night Live!
991
00:47:04,029 --> 00:47:07,199
With host Chevy Chase!
992
00:47:08,367 --> 00:47:09,910
When Chevy came back to host,
993
00:47:10,077 --> 00:47:11,703
I don't think
anyone is prepared
994
00:47:11,829 --> 00:47:14,164
for the Chevy that shows up.
995
00:47:14,289 --> 00:47:16,124
I always felt like...
996
00:47:16,250 --> 00:47:18,126
it was beneath him to do this.
997
00:47:18,252 --> 00:47:20,128
I've gotten to know
the cast very well,
998
00:47:20,254 --> 00:47:22,089
it's a great new cast,
I hope you saw last week's show;
999
00:47:22,214 --> 00:47:23,799
if you didn't, this week,
you're gonna meet them.
1000
00:47:23,924 --> 00:47:26,426
They're a wonderful group
of 28 kids...
1001
00:47:28,178 --> 00:47:30,180
That's not true,
there are only about seven.
1002
00:47:30,305 --> 00:47:32,266
He was really tough
on the furniture that week.
1003
00:47:32,391 --> 00:47:34,560
Particularly Terry Sweeney,
1004
00:47:34,685 --> 00:47:36,270
who was the first
1005
00:47:36,436 --> 00:47:38,730
openly gay cast member
of "SNL."
1006
00:47:38,856 --> 00:47:42,025
- Uh, President Kennedy?
- Very good job.
1007
00:47:42,150 --> 00:47:44,653
He had this wonderfully
warm icebreaker
1008
00:47:44,778 --> 00:47:47,698
with Terry Sweeney, which was,
"You're gay, right?"
1009
00:47:47,823 --> 00:47:49,825
And Terry said, "Yes, what would
you like me to do for you?"
1010
00:47:49,950 --> 00:47:52,995
And Chevy said, "You can start
by licking my balls."
1011
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,289
And then, of course,
it went downhill from there.
1012
00:47:55,455 --> 00:47:58,125
I think
Chevy was just being Chevy.
1013
00:47:58,292 --> 00:48:00,460
He would say things
that were funny,
1014
00:48:00,627 --> 00:48:02,796
but he assumed that
1015
00:48:02,963 --> 00:48:05,883
you were comedy people
and you could speak that way.
1016
00:48:06,008 --> 00:48:08,010
You know, we would say
terrible things
1017
00:48:08,135 --> 00:48:11,138
because that's
what would make us laugh.
1018
00:48:11,305 --> 00:48:14,725
It wasn't-- we didn't tell
anecdotes, you know.
1019
00:48:14,850 --> 00:48:16,560
You said
to Terry Sweeney,
1020
00:48:16,685 --> 00:48:19,021
"Oh, you're the gay guy,
why don't we do something
1021
00:48:19,146 --> 00:48:21,231
where we say you have AIDS,
1022
00:48:21,356 --> 00:48:23,942
and then every week
we weigh you."
1023
00:48:27,029 --> 00:48:29,865
That's the worst.
1024
00:48:29,990 --> 00:48:31,408
Ron, how are you?
1025
00:48:31,533 --> 00:48:34,828
Nancy.
Just terrific, Jerry.
1026
00:48:34,953 --> 00:48:37,581
- How's Betty?
- Oh, she's fine.
1027
00:48:39,541 --> 00:48:40,959
Terry Sweeney, I mean,
1028
00:48:41,084 --> 00:48:43,045
he was very funny,
this guy.
1029
00:48:43,170 --> 00:48:45,005
I don't think
he's alive anymore,
1030
00:48:45,172 --> 00:48:46,757
Terry Sweeney.
I hope he isn't,
1031
00:48:46,882 --> 00:48:49,009
because I don't want you
talking to him about this.
1032
00:48:49,176 --> 00:48:50,969
- He's alive.
- Is he?
1033
00:48:51,094 --> 00:48:53,388
- Yeah, and I think--
- How do you know?
1034
00:48:53,513 --> 00:48:55,474
'Cause I looked him up
on Google,
1035
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:57,309
- I mean, is he alive?
- He's alive.
1036
00:48:57,434 --> 00:49:00,020
- He's alive.
- Oh-- he's alive!
1037
00:49:00,187 --> 00:49:02,689
The gay guy!
1038
00:49:02,814 --> 00:49:04,191
Oh, God.
1039
00:49:04,316 --> 00:49:06,944
No, I think,
I think, and this is--
1040
00:49:07,069 --> 00:49:08,737
But the idea
of weighing him, come on,
1041
00:49:08,862 --> 00:49:11,490
that's-- that's clearly me--
1042
00:49:11,615 --> 00:49:14,534
No, yeah, his--
I think his recollection
1043
00:49:14,660 --> 00:49:16,370
is different.
1044
00:49:16,495 --> 00:49:18,956
- Oh, what's his--
- He was very hurt--
1045
00:49:19,081 --> 00:49:21,875
- Oh.
- by, yeah, so.
1046
00:49:22,042 --> 00:49:24,336
Well, when did you talk to him?
1047
00:49:24,461 --> 00:49:25,671
I haven't talked to him.
1048
00:49:25,796 --> 00:49:27,214
Well, then, how do
you know he was hurt?
1049
00:49:27,381 --> 00:49:29,341
Because I've heard it
from other people.
1050
00:49:29,466 --> 00:49:31,969
Other people have told you
that I hurt his feelings?
1051
00:49:32,094 --> 00:49:33,303
Yeah, it's, like, in books.
1052
00:49:33,428 --> 00:49:35,389
I have to be going now.
1053
00:49:35,514 --> 00:49:37,057
I'll leave you two leaders
alone to talk.
1054
00:49:37,224 --> 00:49:38,600
I'm gonna take Lucky
for a walk.
1055
00:49:38,725 --> 00:49:40,185
I think
you hurt his feelings,
1056
00:49:40,310 --> 00:49:42,229
- and...
- What book is this?
1057
00:49:42,354 --> 00:49:43,355
Should I read this?
1058
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:44,898
- Yeah, read it out.
- All right.
1059
00:49:45,065 --> 00:49:46,775
Come over here,
so he can hear you.
1060
00:49:46,900 --> 00:49:48,860
Oh, this is great, thanks.
1061
00:49:48,986 --> 00:49:51,071
This'll make my day.
1062
00:49:52,155 --> 00:49:53,240
"Chevy turned to me,
and he said,
1063
00:49:53,407 --> 00:49:54,825
'Oh, you're the gay guy, right?'
1064
00:49:54,950 --> 00:49:57,911
And he said, 'I've got
an idea for a sketch for you.'
1065
00:49:58,078 --> 00:49:59,329
'How about we say you have AIDS,
1066
00:49:59,454 --> 00:50:00,914
and we weigh you
every week.'
1067
00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:03,959
It was out of place, so then
he ended up having to apologize
1068
00:50:04,084 --> 00:50:05,711
and actually come
into my office.
1069
00:50:05,836 --> 00:50:08,296
He was really furious
that he had to apologize to me.
1070
00:50:08,422 --> 00:50:10,757
He was just beside himself,
and it was just awful."
1071
00:50:12,259 --> 00:50:15,220
None of that's true.
I would remember that.
1072
00:50:15,345 --> 00:50:17,305
- You would?
- Yeah!
1073
00:50:17,431 --> 00:50:20,100
That I--
That I was angry
1074
00:50:20,267 --> 00:50:22,436
that I had
to apologize to him?
1075
00:50:24,104 --> 00:50:26,106
Good God, Chevy,
what's wrong with you?
1076
00:50:26,273 --> 00:50:30,444
I mean, of course I--
that's just not true.
1077
00:50:30,569 --> 00:50:34,448
My memory is that
he's lying, is my memory.
1078
00:50:34,614 --> 00:50:37,284
He's not telling the truth.
1079
00:50:37,451 --> 00:50:41,121
That isn't me.
That's not how I am.
1080
00:50:41,246 --> 00:50:43,373
And if I am that way,
1081
00:50:43,498 --> 00:50:46,418
my life has changed, 'cause
I have to live with that now,
1082
00:50:46,543 --> 00:50:48,378
for the rest
of my fucking life
1083
00:50:48,503 --> 00:50:51,673
because you guys got a book out
and read it to me.
1084
00:50:51,798 --> 00:50:53,675
I'd like to think the...
1085
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,635
...good night.
1086
00:50:55,761 --> 00:50:58,305
Within the next week,
1087
00:50:58,430 --> 00:51:00,474
it was all over the place.
1088
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,311
And you know, people
who left that week saying,
1089
00:51:04,478 --> 00:51:06,480
"I never wanna see
the guy again."
1090
00:51:14,321 --> 00:51:16,031
Look, there are
certain people who've got
1091
00:51:16,156 --> 00:51:18,658
reputations
that you don't want.
1092
00:51:18,825 --> 00:51:20,994
Um...
1093
00:51:21,161 --> 00:51:23,330
...Chevy...
1094
00:51:26,833 --> 00:51:29,169
The old Chevy...
1095
00:51:29,294 --> 00:51:31,630
could make you laugh
putting you down,
1096
00:51:31,755 --> 00:51:33,340
and there was a little bit
of a wink there,
1097
00:51:33,465 --> 00:51:35,509
so you were in on the joke.
1098
00:51:37,511 --> 00:51:39,846
But now it just
comes off as mean.
1099
00:51:40,722 --> 00:51:43,225
It's kind of
the elephant in the room.
1100
00:51:45,852 --> 00:51:47,354
I'm sorry, go ahead.
1101
00:51:47,521 --> 00:51:48,980
The elephant
in the room, yeah.
1102
00:51:49,106 --> 00:51:50,732
That there are two camps.
1103
00:51:50,857 --> 00:51:52,484
There are the people
who love you,
1104
00:51:52,609 --> 00:51:53,944
and the people
who don't like you.
1105
00:51:54,069 --> 00:51:55,570
Okay, I don't know
what to say about the people
1106
00:51:55,695 --> 00:51:58,406
who don't like me,
except fuck 'em.
1107
00:51:58,532 --> 00:52:01,868
What can you say, actually,
about something like that?
1108
00:52:02,035 --> 00:52:04,538
I can't say
they're misunderstanding me,
1109
00:52:04,704 --> 00:52:08,333
because maybe they're not,
by their standard.
1110
00:52:08,458 --> 00:52:11,545
Uh, I just prefer to be liked.
1111
00:52:11,711 --> 00:52:13,922
Not disliked.
1112
00:52:14,047 --> 00:52:15,757
Like all of us.
1113
00:52:28,979 --> 00:52:33,066
Our doctor,
the ear, nose, and throat guy,
1114
00:52:33,191 --> 00:52:34,985
called me
and asked me to come in,
1115
00:52:35,110 --> 00:52:37,070
and he needed to talk to me.
1116
00:52:37,195 --> 00:52:38,780
And he explained to me
1117
00:52:38,905 --> 00:52:41,992
that Chevy was
addicted to cocaine.
1118
00:52:42,742 --> 00:52:44,411
Cocaine one-upped him.
1119
00:52:44,536 --> 00:52:46,788
He was no longer in control,
1120
00:52:46,913 --> 00:52:50,250
and for a guy
who loves being in control,
1121
00:52:50,375 --> 00:52:53,753
I think it was
a very, very dark,
1122
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,631
dangerous journey.
1123
00:52:56,756 --> 00:52:58,717
He's had many times
1124
00:52:58,842 --> 00:53:00,886
where he was doing
just fine,
1125
00:53:01,011 --> 00:53:02,637
and then something happens,
1126
00:53:02,762 --> 00:53:05,307
and that's-- you know,
it's a disease of relapse,
1127
00:53:05,432 --> 00:53:08,643
and you know,
it's never a wonder...
1128
00:53:08,768 --> 00:53:10,729
...that an addict uses.
1129
00:53:10,854 --> 00:53:12,647
It's a miracle
if an addict doesn't.
1130
00:53:14,274 --> 00:53:16,735
So we did an intervention.
1131
00:53:16,860 --> 00:53:21,323
He said, "I-- I know
I need-- I need to stop.
1132
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:22,991
And I know I need help."
1133
00:53:23,116 --> 00:53:26,536
Well, comedian Chevy Chase
will be off the job for a while.
1134
00:53:26,661 --> 00:53:28,830
A spokesman says that
the reason is a drug problem.
1135
00:53:28,955 --> 00:53:30,415
The first time
I ever heard of
1136
00:53:30,540 --> 00:53:32,292
the Betty Ford Clinic was
1137
00:53:32,459 --> 00:53:34,461
in relation
to Chevy Chase going there,
1138
00:53:34,586 --> 00:53:35,795
and my mother having
to be like,
1139
00:53:35,962 --> 00:53:37,297
"Well, that's
where the rich people go
1140
00:53:37,422 --> 00:53:39,299
when they've had
too much to drink."
1141
00:53:39,466 --> 00:53:41,468
He went to Betty Ford,
1142
00:53:41,593 --> 00:53:43,345
but after a week,
he called me
1143
00:53:43,470 --> 00:53:45,513
and begged me
to come pick him up.
1144
00:53:46,806 --> 00:53:48,600
Doctors released
comedian Chevy Chase
1145
00:53:48,725 --> 00:53:50,727
from the Betty Ford
Drug Rehabilitation Center
1146
00:53:50,852 --> 00:53:52,604
over the weekend.
According to a spokeswoman,
1147
00:53:52,729 --> 00:53:54,940
his system is
cleaned of drugs.
1148
00:53:57,692 --> 00:53:59,778
You know,
the actual addiction
1149
00:53:59,903 --> 00:54:01,363
or the...
1150
00:54:01,488 --> 00:54:03,323
the things
he's gone through,
1151
00:54:03,490 --> 00:54:06,326
I've come to see it
as an illness.
1152
00:54:06,493 --> 00:54:10,330
The fact that
he has overcome that,
1153
00:54:10,455 --> 00:54:12,332
that's another thing
he's overcome.
1154
00:54:15,168 --> 00:54:16,795
There's good news and bad news.
1155
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,130
Because, if you go
through rehab,
1156
00:54:19,256 --> 00:54:20,924
and you're successful,
1157
00:54:21,049 --> 00:54:24,344
then you're moving on
with a healthier life.
1158
00:54:24,469 --> 00:54:27,681
The problem is
that all the crutches,
1159
00:54:27,847 --> 00:54:29,849
all the vehicles
that you used
1160
00:54:30,016 --> 00:54:32,769
to get through
certain situations,
1161
00:54:32,894 --> 00:54:34,437
they're all gone.
1162
00:54:34,562 --> 00:54:36,356
And it turns out that
1163
00:54:36,481 --> 00:54:39,484
that inner core,
that raw nature,
1164
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,444
can be incredibly mean.
1165
00:54:45,699 --> 00:54:47,033
He made these huge movies,
1166
00:54:47,158 --> 00:54:48,952
he was one
of the biggest stars going...
1167
00:54:50,328 --> 00:54:51,538
and then he made
a couple of ones
1168
00:54:51,705 --> 00:54:54,249
that weren't--
didn't do that great.
1169
00:54:54,374 --> 00:54:56,710
Because he was who he is,
1170
00:54:56,876 --> 00:54:59,421
even on the way to the top,
1171
00:54:59,546 --> 00:55:02,132
he was not a good guy.
1172
00:55:02,257 --> 00:55:04,467
But I can't imagine how he was
1173
00:55:04,592 --> 00:55:06,219
on the way to the bottom.
1174
00:55:06,344 --> 00:55:09,723
I mean, basically
I'll just yell,
1175
00:55:09,889 --> 00:55:11,641
and I'll yell,
"Help, hey, you guys, hey!"
1176
00:55:11,766 --> 00:55:13,560
- Yeah, keep it going.
- Yeah.
1177
00:55:13,727 --> 00:55:15,562
Speed, mark.
1178
00:55:15,729 --> 00:55:17,981
And... light!
1179
00:55:20,525 --> 00:55:22,777
Hey, help! Up here!
1180
00:55:22,902 --> 00:55:25,613
- Now over to number two.
- Help!
1181
00:55:26,948 --> 00:55:28,366
Bang away!
1182
00:55:29,701 --> 00:55:32,078
Chevy Chase,
I wanted to quit the business
1183
00:55:32,245 --> 00:55:33,580
after working with him.
1184
00:55:33,705 --> 00:55:35,957
Really,
what was the movie--
1185
00:55:36,082 --> 00:55:37,876
"Memoirs of an Invisible Man."
1186
00:55:38,001 --> 00:55:39,669
Um, it...
1187
00:55:39,794 --> 00:55:41,463
he was a producer
on this thing.
1188
00:55:41,588 --> 00:55:43,048
So you're directing,
and he's, like,
1189
00:55:43,173 --> 00:55:45,759
- got this attitude.
- Oh, yeah, it... it was bad.
1190
00:55:45,884 --> 00:55:47,135
Was it one of those
things where they had
1191
00:55:47,260 --> 00:55:49,888
- to shut things down--
- No, no, it was not that way.
1192
00:55:50,013 --> 00:55:53,933
I just-- I took it all in
and just internalized it.
1193
00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:58,188
But that was my...
uh, that was my...
1194
00:55:58,313 --> 00:56:01,441
worst... worst.
1195
00:56:02,776 --> 00:56:04,903
It's a great movie,
I'm very happy with it.
1196
00:56:05,028 --> 00:56:08,114
- You play an invisible man.
- I play the Invisible Man.
1197
00:56:08,281 --> 00:56:11,618
I sincerely think
that this is by far and away
1198
00:56:11,743 --> 00:56:13,036
the best picture I've made,
which is...
1199
00:56:13,161 --> 00:56:14,788
- Really.
- ...according to some critics
1200
00:56:14,954 --> 00:56:17,791
the equivalent of a mutt saying,
"I just had a beautiful dump."
1201
00:56:17,957 --> 00:56:19,501
"Memoirs of an Invisible Man"
1202
00:56:19,626 --> 00:56:21,127
is a mediocre movie
that can't make up its mind
1203
00:56:21,252 --> 00:56:22,962
what it wants to be.
1204
00:56:23,088 --> 00:56:25,048
Chase is fine
when the going gets funny.
1205
00:56:25,173 --> 00:56:27,384
Unfortunately,
when he's called upon to act,
1206
00:56:27,509 --> 00:56:29,135
he turns amateurish."
1207
00:56:31,513 --> 00:56:33,556
I'm gonna say something
that I probably shouldn't,
1208
00:56:33,681 --> 00:56:36,643
but I never got the sense
1209
00:56:36,768 --> 00:56:39,229
that Chevy was
as serious about his career
1210
00:56:39,354 --> 00:56:41,481
as his career was serious.
1211
00:56:41,648 --> 00:56:44,526
We had clients that were
so focused on building
1212
00:56:44,651 --> 00:56:47,112
and what role went next,
1213
00:56:47,237 --> 00:56:49,989
and... um...
1214
00:56:50,156 --> 00:56:52,325
he didn't think that way.
1215
00:56:52,492 --> 00:56:57,414
I don't think he took himself
as seriously as he was taken.
1216
00:56:57,539 --> 00:56:59,916
How did
the talk show come about?
1217
00:57:00,041 --> 00:57:01,835
You know, it's funny,
I knew you'd ask me
1218
00:57:02,001 --> 00:57:04,796
this question.
I hated the idea.
1219
00:57:06,756 --> 00:57:09,592
Bruce Bodner was Chevy's lawyer
1220
00:57:09,717 --> 00:57:11,845
morphed into his manager.
1221
00:57:11,970 --> 00:57:15,181
Bruce was very influential
on his life.
1222
00:57:15,348 --> 00:57:17,225
He really had Chevy's ear.
1223
00:57:17,350 --> 00:57:20,603
Thought it was a good idea,
those of us around him didn't.
1224
00:57:24,065 --> 00:57:25,608
There's a lot to be done...
1225
00:57:25,733 --> 00:57:27,068
...as Chevy Chase starts
1226
00:57:27,193 --> 00:57:30,238
his quest for a chunk of the
late night talk show audience.
1227
00:57:30,363 --> 00:57:32,323
The pressure is,
can I do it?
1228
00:57:32,449 --> 00:57:34,701
And the anticipation is,
can I do it?
1229
00:57:34,826 --> 00:57:37,620
You did a talk show,
what was that like?
1230
00:57:37,745 --> 00:57:39,706
Short.
1231
00:57:39,873 --> 00:57:42,125
Thanks for asking.
1232
00:57:43,042 --> 00:57:44,627
I never took
anybody's advice
1233
00:57:44,752 --> 00:57:47,714
about how to do
a talk show.
1234
00:57:47,881 --> 00:57:51,050
I didn't-- I can do it,
I kept thinking.
1235
00:57:51,176 --> 00:57:53,595
He came to me and said,
"Do you wanna work on it?"
1236
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,972
Um, and I was like, yeah.
1237
00:57:56,097 --> 00:57:59,184
If there's anything
I could change,
1238
00:57:59,309 --> 00:58:02,437
it's that period of time...
1239
00:58:02,562 --> 00:58:06,274
that kind of took us to
"Memoirs of an Invisible Man"
1240
00:58:06,399 --> 00:58:07,901
and the talk show.
1241
00:58:08,026 --> 00:58:09,944
The closer
we got to the airdate,
1242
00:58:10,069 --> 00:58:11,779
the more we started
to feel like...
1243
00:58:11,905 --> 00:58:14,949
this ship is not upright.
1244
00:58:15,783 --> 00:58:18,828
So I have a pain in my...
my chest right in here,
1245
00:58:18,953 --> 00:58:21,414
and some numbness
going down my arm.
1246
00:58:21,581 --> 00:58:24,042
Otherwise,
I'm kind of nervous.
1247
00:58:24,167 --> 00:58:25,919
I don't think
it was well thought-through.
1248
00:58:26,044 --> 00:58:28,129
They just had this idea,
oh, he's funny,
1249
00:58:28,254 --> 00:58:31,007
he's a big star,
we'll put him on TV,
1250
00:58:31,132 --> 00:58:32,425
and it'll work.
1251
00:58:35,970 --> 00:58:39,265
And now, he's still
not ready for primetime,
1252
00:58:39,390 --> 00:58:40,642
Chevy Chase!
1253
00:58:48,483 --> 00:58:51,069
It wasn't Chevy's forte.
1254
00:58:51,194 --> 00:58:54,447
Chevy was not a guy
who could do stand-up comedy.
1255
00:58:54,614 --> 00:58:57,116
President Clinton is appearing
on "Nightline" tonight
1256
00:58:57,242 --> 00:58:59,118
to discuss
his healthcare plan further.
1257
00:58:59,285 --> 00:59:01,538
If you're watching him--
or, excuse me,
1258
00:59:01,663 --> 00:59:03,122
if you're watching me
instead of him,
1259
00:59:03,248 --> 00:59:06,000
I'm flattered, but I think
maybe you should see a doctor,
1260
00:59:06,125 --> 00:59:08,795
because that's just a sign
of how really sick you are.
1261
00:59:08,962 --> 00:59:11,089
I think the show needed
1262
00:59:11,214 --> 00:59:13,675
a different kind of producer,
the person that got--
1263
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,469
had a long history
of television producing,
1264
00:59:16,636 --> 00:59:19,847
but it was really
old-time TV comedy.
1265
00:59:19,973 --> 00:59:22,183
Uh, I-- I feel
like a hundred dollars.
1266
00:59:23,643 --> 00:59:25,186
You know...
I don't want this.
1267
00:59:25,311 --> 00:59:26,813
I-- I want you out.
1268
00:59:26,938 --> 00:59:29,315
I remember
1269
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,526
being on set and...
1270
00:59:31,651 --> 00:59:34,612
it felt like
I wanted him to relax.
1271
00:59:34,737 --> 00:59:36,906
He felt nervous to me.
1272
00:59:38,157 --> 00:59:39,909
It was hideous.
1273
00:59:40,034 --> 00:59:42,495
I just didn't really
have a sense of
1274
00:59:42,662 --> 00:59:44,122
what you do on a talk show.
1275
00:59:44,247 --> 00:59:46,666
It's basically
a true story, and it--
1276
00:59:46,833 --> 00:59:48,835
it's based on
sort of the dilemma
1277
00:59:49,002 --> 00:59:51,254
of a kid who's brought up
with a father
1278
00:59:51,379 --> 00:59:53,840
who really cares about him,
but he's also very close
1279
00:59:53,965 --> 00:59:57,218
to a member of
kind of the mob, I mean...
1280
00:59:57,343 --> 00:59:59,178
Roll the clip.
1281
00:59:59,304 --> 01:00:02,348
That's a hard thing to do
every night for an hour.
1282
01:00:02,473 --> 01:00:05,351
It's almost impossible,
if you wanna know the truth.
1283
01:00:05,518 --> 01:00:07,770
You have to know something
about everything.
1284
01:00:07,895 --> 01:00:09,564
You have to be well-read.
1285
01:00:09,689 --> 01:00:11,190
You have to understand
current events.
1286
01:00:11,316 --> 01:00:12,942
You have to know
who your guest is,
1287
01:00:13,067 --> 01:00:15,028
and there are
five of them a night.
1288
01:00:15,153 --> 01:00:17,530
I don't know
how people like Letterman
1289
01:00:17,697 --> 01:00:20,533
and others do it.
I-- it's beyond me.
1290
01:00:20,700 --> 01:00:21,993
You can say, well,
it's interesting
1291
01:00:22,118 --> 01:00:23,328
to have different people
with different--
1292
01:00:23,453 --> 01:00:25,997
yeah, yeah, right.
We're all the same, pretty much,
1293
01:00:26,122 --> 01:00:27,790
it's not that interesting.
1294
01:00:29,042 --> 01:00:31,294
The reviews were
universally terrible,
1295
01:00:31,419 --> 01:00:33,838
and Chevy literally would come
into the writers' room
1296
01:00:33,963 --> 01:00:36,174
and say, "You guys are
doing a great job,
1297
01:00:36,299 --> 01:00:38,426
it is not your fault,
it's my fault."
1298
01:00:46,267 --> 01:00:49,228
There was
a 50th birthday party for Chevy
1299
01:00:49,395 --> 01:00:50,938
with a lot of big stars.
1300
01:00:51,064 --> 01:00:52,815
It was a huge disappointment
1301
01:00:52,940 --> 01:00:54,901
when we learned
at the end of the party
1302
01:00:55,068 --> 01:00:57,320
that the show had been
pulled by Fox.
1303
01:00:57,445 --> 01:00:59,781
It was my job to tell him
the show was canceled,
1304
01:00:59,906 --> 01:01:01,616
and I did it.
1305
01:01:01,741 --> 01:01:04,827
I remember
Mike Ovitz saying...
1306
01:01:04,952 --> 01:01:09,040
"Do you wanna do another
couple of weeks, or... what?"
1307
01:01:09,165 --> 01:01:11,084
I said,
"A couple of weeks?"
1308
01:01:11,250 --> 01:01:14,253
"Yeah, I think we're finished,"
you know, and that was it.
1309
01:01:19,217 --> 01:01:21,928
It was kind of
a weird environment...
1310
01:01:22,095 --> 01:01:25,223
after his talk show,
and I know my dad
1311
01:01:25,348 --> 01:01:26,599
has been depressed.
1312
01:01:26,724 --> 01:01:28,559
I knew that at a young age.
1313
01:01:28,685 --> 01:01:30,687
And that was sort of hard for me
1314
01:01:30,812 --> 01:01:32,230
because, you know,
1315
01:01:32,355 --> 01:01:33,981
I would go in and, like,
1316
01:01:34,107 --> 01:01:37,276
tug on his shirt, and he'd say,
like, "Not now, honey."
1317
01:01:37,402 --> 01:01:39,278
- Huh?
- Where are we?
1318
01:01:39,404 --> 01:01:43,282
- What's the date?
- April 19th, 1994.
1319
01:01:44,075 --> 01:01:46,953
Four Seasons Hotel,
Washington D.C.
1320
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,456
I'm your host, and I'd be happy
to take your order.
1321
01:01:50,623 --> 01:01:52,083
One thing
that was interesting
1322
01:01:52,208 --> 01:01:55,086
about our household is
that my parents were
1323
01:01:55,211 --> 01:01:57,463
pretty open
with some of the things
1324
01:01:57,588 --> 01:01:59,048
going on
that were deeper,
1325
01:01:59,173 --> 01:02:00,842
depending on our ages.
1326
01:02:02,301 --> 01:02:04,804
My parents were
communicating enough
1327
01:02:04,971 --> 01:02:07,223
to say there's something
called depression,
1328
01:02:07,348 --> 01:02:09,100
and it is hard
1329
01:02:09,225 --> 01:02:12,311
for people
to get out of bed.
1330
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,734
- Hi!
- Why are you doing this?
1331
01:02:21,028 --> 01:02:23,239
He would get in bed
and not get out.
1332
01:02:24,991 --> 01:02:27,744
I didn't understand why.
1333
01:02:29,162 --> 01:02:30,913
My father and mother,
1334
01:02:31,038 --> 01:02:32,832
they divorced
when I was around four,
1335
01:02:32,957 --> 01:02:34,792
and not many years later,
he married again.
1336
01:02:34,917 --> 01:02:36,502
And so did my mother.
1337
01:02:36,669 --> 01:02:38,671
John Cederquist,
he married my mother.
1338
01:02:38,796 --> 01:02:40,840
He was a psychoanalyst.
1339
01:02:40,965 --> 01:02:44,343
He was not like my father.
1340
01:02:44,469 --> 01:02:45,511
Humorless.
1341
01:02:47,513 --> 01:02:49,015
Humorless.
1342
01:02:49,140 --> 01:02:51,851
He was
the father figure,
1343
01:02:51,976 --> 01:02:53,770
as our stepfather,
1344
01:02:53,895 --> 01:02:55,813
for most of the time
growing up.
1345
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,400
My father had
a flash anger,
1346
01:02:59,525 --> 01:03:01,861
and he could lash out
with a single blow,
1347
01:03:02,028 --> 01:03:04,489
and no talk
before or after.
1348
01:03:05,531 --> 01:03:07,825
He did not take to...
1349
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:09,869
anything that
he perceived as insolence.
1350
01:03:09,994 --> 01:03:11,871
Chevy was insolent.
1351
01:03:12,955 --> 01:03:15,208
The first time we...
1352
01:03:15,374 --> 01:03:17,043
stayed together,
1353
01:03:17,168 --> 01:03:19,879
the first time
I went to wake him up,
1354
01:03:20,046 --> 01:03:22,006
he shuddered.
1355
01:03:23,257 --> 01:03:25,885
And he explained,
"Well, my mother would
1356
01:03:26,010 --> 01:03:28,304
wake me up
slapping me."
1357
01:03:28,429 --> 01:03:31,891
From the time
he was a little guy, wham.
1358
01:03:33,476 --> 01:03:36,771
Our mother was a bag of cats.
1359
01:03:36,896 --> 01:03:40,858
Certainly on
the schizoid spectrum.
1360
01:03:40,983 --> 01:03:42,610
I felt like
1361
01:03:42,735 --> 01:03:46,739
this was
an out-of-control woman,
1362
01:03:46,906 --> 01:03:49,158
who I look back on,
and I say,
1363
01:03:49,283 --> 01:03:51,035
"I feel sorry for her."
1364
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,287
She had her own issues.
1365
01:03:53,412 --> 01:03:55,081
Bad ones, but...
1366
01:03:56,457 --> 01:03:59,252
she was
physically abusive to me.
1367
01:04:00,002 --> 01:04:01,629
Oftentimes,
in abusive households,
1368
01:04:01,754 --> 01:04:05,216
there's one child
who's the target of the abuse.
1369
01:04:05,341 --> 01:04:09,095
And unfortunately he--
he was that.
1370
01:04:10,888 --> 01:04:13,224
I would hear stories
from Chevy
1371
01:04:13,349 --> 01:04:15,268
about some
of the terrible things
1372
01:04:15,393 --> 01:04:18,104
that would happen to him
as a young man.
1373
01:04:18,229 --> 01:04:20,565
Things like being locked
in the closet.
1374
01:04:20,690 --> 01:04:23,568
There was a cellar,
and he was sent down there
1375
01:04:23,693 --> 01:04:27,613
because of
really messing up at school.
1376
01:04:27,780 --> 01:04:29,782
My marks stank,
1377
01:04:29,907 --> 01:04:31,492
but they stank because,
1378
01:04:31,617 --> 01:04:34,787
whereas others would
concentrate on their homework,
1379
01:04:34,912 --> 01:04:37,123
I didn't have
a chance at that.
1380
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,959
I was always worried
about one thing or another
1381
01:04:40,126 --> 01:04:42,253
that had to do
with my own health.
1382
01:04:43,963 --> 01:04:46,757
Ned and I were
eating breakfast,
1383
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,676
and Cederquist came down
1384
01:04:48,801 --> 01:04:51,971
and started slapping me
across the back of the head.
1385
01:04:52,096 --> 01:04:55,641
And I stood up
and made it clear,
1386
01:04:55,766 --> 01:05:00,062
I didn't think this was
a time for corporal punishment.
1387
01:05:01,355 --> 01:05:04,525
And John Cederquist sat down,
and I sat down.
1388
01:05:05,484 --> 01:05:06,903
I knew at that time that
1389
01:05:07,028 --> 01:05:08,905
Ned was there for me.
1390
01:05:09,989 --> 01:05:11,949
That was a big moment for us.
1391
01:05:14,827 --> 01:05:16,287
So, at what point,
1392
01:05:16,412 --> 01:05:18,372
or was there a point
where you walked away
1393
01:05:18,497 --> 01:05:21,500
from your mother and stepfather
and never saw them again?
1394
01:05:29,717 --> 01:05:31,177
Sorry?
1395
01:05:31,344 --> 01:05:34,597
It shaped him.
He used comedy, he used humor,
1396
01:05:34,722 --> 01:05:37,934
as-- as a way to, um,
1397
01:05:38,059 --> 01:05:40,645
you know, mask what was
going on inside.
1398
01:05:40,770 --> 01:05:44,231
And that's continued.
It continues to this day.
1399
01:05:44,357 --> 01:05:48,069
I mean, he will joke around
from morning to night,
1400
01:05:48,194 --> 01:05:50,029
and you won't know
what's going on.
1401
01:05:50,154 --> 01:05:52,657
That's his instinct, is...
1402
01:05:52,782 --> 01:05:55,034
I wanna bring humor
to this situation,
1403
01:05:55,201 --> 01:05:56,577
because that's
how he always dealt with
1404
01:05:56,702 --> 01:05:58,204
the problems in his life.
1405
01:05:58,371 --> 01:06:00,039
Chevy, do you have
your lighter close by?
1406
01:06:00,164 --> 01:06:01,707
I have my lighter
very close by.
1407
01:06:03,042 --> 01:06:04,210
- Are you ready?
- I'm ready,
1408
01:06:04,377 --> 01:06:05,711
because I wanna
put all these away.
1409
01:06:06,921 --> 01:06:08,214
Oh, wait,
that's chewing gum.
1410
01:06:09,382 --> 01:06:10,549
Do you know
about his past?
1411
01:06:10,716 --> 01:06:12,760
Do you know that
he was abused as a child?
1412
01:06:12,885 --> 01:06:16,305
Um, I don't know
that he was abused as a child,
1413
01:06:16,430 --> 01:06:19,475
but I--
I am sort of sad to say
1414
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,727
that I would--
I would have guessed that,
1415
01:06:21,894 --> 01:06:23,896
because, uh...
1416
01:06:24,021 --> 01:06:25,773
you know, um, that--
1417
01:06:25,898 --> 01:06:29,443
what he's doing is a--
is a coping mechanism.
1418
01:06:30,987 --> 01:06:32,279
No problem.
1419
01:06:34,365 --> 01:06:36,283
Funny people
generally have
1420
01:06:36,409 --> 01:06:39,245
a lot of sad things
in their background.
1421
01:06:39,370 --> 01:06:41,998
A lot of tragedy, that's
where the comedy comes from.
1422
01:06:44,250 --> 01:06:45,501
What it really boils down to
1423
01:06:45,626 --> 01:06:49,922
is being able to behave
in a very natural way
1424
01:06:50,047 --> 01:06:52,133
in a very unnatural environment.
1425
01:06:52,258 --> 01:06:55,094
And I think, often,
1426
01:06:55,219 --> 01:06:59,015
the-- that--
that skill is honed,
1427
01:06:59,140 --> 01:07:01,100
um...
1428
01:07:01,225 --> 01:07:04,603
in a--
in an unhappy home.
1429
01:07:07,064 --> 01:07:08,899
Uh-oh, I've got it--
1430
01:07:09,025 --> 01:07:10,609
Oh!
1431
01:07:14,405 --> 01:07:17,074
We lost a huge evergreen
over here.
1432
01:07:17,199 --> 01:07:18,659
- Huge tree.
- What do you think of this?
1433
01:07:18,784 --> 01:07:20,786
I went through,
like, six or seven years
1434
01:07:20,953 --> 01:07:23,581
of real depression,
I just couldn't quite figure out
1435
01:07:23,706 --> 01:07:26,417
what it was...
when you're in it,
1436
01:07:26,542 --> 01:07:30,087
uh... you're just
not feeling too good.
1437
01:07:36,969 --> 01:07:38,345
I found that
1438
01:07:38,471 --> 01:07:40,890
the better
I got on the piano,
1439
01:07:41,015 --> 01:07:43,768
the more
he would come downstairs,
1440
01:07:43,893 --> 01:07:47,021
so I played my tuchus off.
1441
01:07:47,146 --> 01:07:50,316
He loved it.
And he was inspired by it
1442
01:07:50,483 --> 01:07:52,234
and inspired me
and loved hearing it
1443
01:07:52,359 --> 01:07:54,445
and would love
to show me stuff.
1444
01:07:57,156 --> 01:07:59,158
It brought him
out of the bedroom.
1445
01:08:03,829 --> 01:08:05,498
This is our house now.
1446
01:08:05,623 --> 01:08:07,625
Well, it's most of it.
1447
01:08:09,001 --> 01:08:11,504
Moving us out of LA
1448
01:08:11,629 --> 01:08:14,173
was my way
of making sure that
1449
01:08:14,340 --> 01:08:17,218
we were living
more in reality.
1450
01:08:17,343 --> 01:08:20,304
That was the best thing,
I think, for all of us.
1451
01:08:20,429 --> 01:08:22,389
To get out
of that environment.
1452
01:08:24,141 --> 01:08:25,434
I needed to get him here.
1453
01:08:25,559 --> 01:08:27,228
This was--
he grew up here.
1454
01:08:31,565 --> 01:08:33,234
I've always had Jayni.
1455
01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:35,027
It's pretty hard to be
depressed too long
1456
01:08:35,152 --> 01:08:37,863
with a happy woman.
1457
01:08:39,615 --> 01:08:41,033
Chevy!
1458
01:08:57,258 --> 01:08:58,467
Where's the chess set?
1459
01:08:58,592 --> 01:09:00,136
Right back there, buddy.
1460
01:09:01,387 --> 01:09:03,556
You wanna play now?
Or just this?
1461
01:09:03,681 --> 01:09:06,183
Just that first,
we'll do the chess after.
1462
01:09:07,101 --> 01:09:09,228
Here.
1463
01:09:09,395 --> 01:09:11,355
That's the face right there.
1464
01:09:11,480 --> 01:09:13,232
Why'd you make that face?
1465
01:09:13,399 --> 01:09:15,192
How's this?
1466
01:09:15,317 --> 01:09:17,361
- Look at that face!
- No.
1467
01:09:17,486 --> 01:09:20,781
All right, ready?
1468
01:09:20,906 --> 01:09:22,241
All right, try again.
1469
01:09:23,492 --> 01:09:25,035
Why are you making
that same face?
1470
01:09:25,161 --> 01:09:26,495
What?
1471
01:09:26,620 --> 01:09:28,497
It looks like
you're taking a shit.
1472
01:09:28,622 --> 01:09:30,207
It looks like
I'm taking a shit?
1473
01:09:30,332 --> 01:09:33,252
- Yeah, look at it.
- Sorry, everybody.
1474
01:09:33,419 --> 01:09:36,255
My apologies.
1475
01:09:36,380 --> 01:09:38,924
Okay, from now on
let's be serious.
1476
01:09:39,091 --> 01:09:41,302
Seriously.
1477
01:09:41,427 --> 01:09:43,012
He likes to tease.
1478
01:09:43,137 --> 01:09:45,055
Remember the 12 year old boy
that pulls the girl's hair.
1479
01:09:45,181 --> 01:09:47,183
- Right?
- That's him.
1480
01:09:47,308 --> 01:09:48,767
"All the best."
1481
01:09:51,478 --> 01:09:54,982
We were at a restaurant,
and he seemed to be
1482
01:09:55,107 --> 01:09:57,276
talking to his veal chop,
1483
01:09:57,401 --> 01:09:58,861
he had one finger, like,
he says, "Come on,"
1484
01:09:58,986 --> 01:10:00,446
he would say,
"Come on, come on,"
1485
01:10:00,571 --> 01:10:01,822
"come on, come on,"
1486
01:10:01,947 --> 01:10:03,324
and then with his other hand,
he picked it up,
1487
01:10:03,449 --> 01:10:04,533
he goes "fwah,"
1488
01:10:04,658 --> 01:10:06,785
"there, that's a good,"
you know?
1489
01:10:06,952 --> 01:10:09,663
If I were you,
I wouldn't do that.
1490
01:10:12,499 --> 01:10:14,627
Chevy will do--
if you're sitting at a table,
1491
01:10:14,752 --> 01:10:16,503
he'll be sitting there,
and then he'll start to do
1492
01:10:16,629 --> 01:10:18,923
this... he does this,
1493
01:10:19,048 --> 01:10:20,591
where...
1494
01:10:20,716 --> 01:10:22,885
he bounces along,
and you see
1495
01:10:23,010 --> 01:10:24,720
this figure bounce,
and it's just--
1496
01:10:24,845 --> 01:10:27,306
always buckles me over
when he-- when he does that.
1497
01:10:27,431 --> 01:10:28,974
Huge fan,
Mr. Chase, huge fan.
1498
01:10:29,141 --> 01:10:31,018
- Huge fan.
- Thank you, I appreciate that.
1499
01:10:31,143 --> 01:10:33,229
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
1500
01:10:33,354 --> 01:10:34,647
Would you like
a signed picture?
1501
01:10:34,813 --> 01:10:36,232
- Do you have one available?
- I might.
1502
01:10:36,357 --> 01:10:37,983
I might have one.
1503
01:10:38,150 --> 01:10:41,487
We were at
the AFI Tribute to Gregory Peck.
1504
01:10:41,612 --> 01:10:43,280
Way, way in the corner,
Mary Hart was
1505
01:10:43,405 --> 01:10:45,741
interviewing someone live,
and Chevy said,
1506
01:10:45,866 --> 01:10:49,161
"I wonder if I can hit her
with this roll."
1507
01:10:49,328 --> 01:10:51,413
And he whipped it
as far as he could,
1508
01:10:51,538 --> 01:10:53,332
and it hit her right in the head
in the middle of a thing,
1509
01:10:53,457 --> 01:10:54,959
and he had to sit down
like a kid.
1510
01:10:55,084 --> 01:10:56,627
I was at a...
1511
01:10:56,752 --> 01:10:59,630
an event,
and this young caterer
1512
01:10:59,755 --> 01:11:01,674
came up with a tray
full of chocolate mousse,
1513
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:03,676
like shots
of chocolate mousse,
1514
01:11:03,842 --> 01:11:05,511
and she went, "Would you guys
like some chocolate mousse?"
1515
01:11:05,678 --> 01:11:07,346
And Chevy looked at it,
and he stuck his finger in one,
1516
01:11:07,471 --> 01:11:10,766
took it out, and...
"No, thank you."
1517
01:11:10,891 --> 01:11:12,601
So, I'm up 100...
1518
01:11:12,726 --> 01:11:14,436
to...
1519
01:11:14,561 --> 01:11:16,355
- ...twelve?
- Yes.
1520
01:11:20,651 --> 01:11:22,027
We're not rolling,
are we rolling?
1521
01:11:22,194 --> 01:11:24,863
- Yes, we are.
- This whole time?
1522
01:11:25,030 --> 01:11:27,908
- What was the question?
- So, "Community."
1523
01:11:30,077 --> 01:11:32,871
What?
1524
01:11:33,038 --> 01:11:34,873
Okay, I did "Community,"
1525
01:11:34,999 --> 01:11:37,042
Jayni says
I was great in it.
1526
01:11:37,167 --> 01:11:39,044
What is community college?
1527
01:11:39,169 --> 01:11:41,755
Well, you've heard
all kinds of things.
1528
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,216
You've heard
it's loser college,
1529
01:11:44,383 --> 01:11:46,218
where old people...
1530
01:11:46,385 --> 01:11:48,846
I sort of thought
I was in retirement
1531
01:11:48,971 --> 01:11:50,973
a little bit
back with my wife,
1532
01:11:51,098 --> 01:11:53,058
back-- and kids back
at the farm in New York,
1533
01:11:53,183 --> 01:11:55,144
but, you know,
1534
01:11:55,269 --> 01:11:57,896
when I saw the...
the pilot script,
1535
01:11:58,022 --> 01:11:59,940
I said, "Oh, I gotta--
I gotta play that guy."
1536
01:12:00,065 --> 01:12:01,900
My dad got this pilot.
1537
01:12:02,026 --> 01:12:03,777
He said yes to it
1538
01:12:03,902 --> 01:12:06,739
because he loved the writing.
1539
01:12:06,864 --> 01:12:09,950
Thought Dan Harmon was
quite a genius.
1540
01:12:10,075 --> 01:12:11,618
I was here in LA,
1541
01:12:11,744 --> 01:12:15,080
acting, pretty much
just living on couches.
1542
01:12:15,247 --> 01:12:17,207
My mom said...
1543
01:12:17,333 --> 01:12:19,168
"I don't really
wanna move to LA,
1544
01:12:19,293 --> 01:12:21,587
is there any way you would
live with your father?
1545
01:12:21,712 --> 01:12:22,963
I'll give you
a place to stay."
1546
01:12:23,088 --> 01:12:26,008
And I was like,
"Oh, my God, yes, I'll do it."
1547
01:12:27,426 --> 01:12:29,219
I became a little LA.
1548
01:12:29,345 --> 01:12:30,679
I got some sage.
1549
01:12:30,804 --> 01:12:34,099
Wanted to empty
the house of...
1550
01:12:34,266 --> 01:12:36,143
whatever the heck was there.
1551
01:12:36,268 --> 01:12:37,811
The next morning,
I found a note
1552
01:12:37,936 --> 01:12:39,772
in the bag
with the sage.
1553
01:12:39,938 --> 01:12:42,608
It just said,
"Smoked it, didn't like it.
1554
01:12:44,109 --> 01:12:45,486
Love you, Dad."
1555
01:12:45,611 --> 01:12:47,529
And I'm thinking, did he?
1556
01:12:52,826 --> 01:12:56,163
I was a Chevy Chase fan
from "Saturday Night Live."
1557
01:12:56,288 --> 01:12:58,540
The beginning.
He's a classical
1558
01:12:58,665 --> 01:13:00,959
sketch performer.
1559
01:13:02,795 --> 01:13:04,546
I was hired to do
"Community,"
1560
01:13:04,671 --> 01:13:07,341
and I had heard, you know,
1561
01:13:07,466 --> 01:13:09,385
that he could be challenging.
1562
01:13:09,510 --> 01:13:11,553
Would you stop tuning
that guitar?
1563
01:13:11,678 --> 01:13:14,515
You are 105 years old!
1564
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:16,892
Excuse me!
1565
01:13:17,017 --> 01:13:18,519
But it's springtime,
and I thought
1566
01:13:18,644 --> 01:13:20,104
I might woo a few chicks.
1567
01:13:20,229 --> 01:13:22,731
On the first day
I was working with Chevy,
1568
01:13:22,856 --> 01:13:25,442
he's throwing a big pause
in the middle of this sentence
1569
01:13:25,567 --> 01:13:27,361
that cannot have a pause.
1570
01:13:27,486 --> 01:13:29,696
And I'm like...
1571
01:13:29,822 --> 01:13:31,990
"Can we do it again
without that pause?"
1572
01:13:32,116 --> 01:13:35,369
And he's putting the pause in
and putting the pause in,
1573
01:13:35,494 --> 01:13:36,829
and he keeps putting
the pause in.
1574
01:13:36,995 --> 01:13:40,332
And I'm like,
"If you pull that pause out,
1575
01:13:40,499 --> 01:13:42,543
I think it's gonna be
funnier, right?"
1576
01:13:42,668 --> 01:13:45,879
And he goes, "Oh, I see,
are you telling me
1577
01:13:46,004 --> 01:13:48,132
how to do comedy?"
And I said,
1578
01:13:48,257 --> 01:13:51,718
"I am, in this case,
I am, and it kills me,
1579
01:13:51,844 --> 01:13:53,846
but yes, I am."
And he goes, "Fine, fuck it."
1580
01:13:54,012 --> 01:13:56,807
And so he did it
without the pause,
1581
01:13:56,932 --> 01:13:58,851
and he goes, "You're right,
that was better."
1582
01:14:00,310 --> 01:14:03,063
He and I would argue about
how he was delivering a line,
1583
01:14:03,188 --> 01:14:05,357
and it would get heated,
and the next day,
1584
01:14:05,524 --> 01:14:07,568
he'd come in
and be rubbing my belly
1585
01:14:07,693 --> 01:14:09,528
and telling me
Richard Pryor stories.
1586
01:14:09,653 --> 01:14:12,698
I loved it, like,
I mean, you know...
1587
01:14:12,865 --> 01:14:16,535
I-- I complimented him
on the movie "Foul Play."
1588
01:14:16,660 --> 01:14:18,245
And he goes,
"It's a terrible film."
1589
01:14:18,370 --> 01:14:20,873
And I'm like, "No, Chevy,
it's a great film."
1590
01:14:21,039 --> 01:14:22,207
And he goes,
"You don't know what the fuck
1591
01:14:22,374 --> 01:14:23,834
you're talking about."
I'm like, "I do know
1592
01:14:23,959 --> 01:14:25,461
what the fuck
I'm talking about."
1593
01:14:25,586 --> 01:14:27,045
And he goes,
"You wanna see a good movie?
1594
01:14:27,171 --> 01:14:28,881
'Rosemary's Baby,'
that's a good movie."
1595
01:14:29,047 --> 01:14:31,383
And I'm like, "Okay,
that's also a good movie."
1596
01:14:31,508 --> 01:14:33,719
- It seems...
- Blegh!
1597
01:14:33,844 --> 01:14:36,096
It seems...
1598
01:14:36,221 --> 01:14:39,141
Thought it was my line,
I'm sorry.
1599
01:14:39,266 --> 01:14:41,018
There was
a little bit of negativity
1600
01:14:41,143 --> 01:14:44,146
around Chevy
and the rest of the cast.
1601
01:14:44,271 --> 01:14:45,772
And so there was a desire
1602
01:14:45,898 --> 01:14:48,734
to shoot him out
every day.
1603
01:14:48,901 --> 01:14:51,069
And so the very first shots
of the day,
1604
01:14:51,236 --> 01:14:52,738
I would get him to say
all his lines,
1605
01:14:52,905 --> 01:14:54,323
and we would argue,
1606
01:14:54,448 --> 01:14:55,949
and then, uh,
and I'm like,
1607
01:14:56,074 --> 01:14:58,243
"All right, Chevy, we're done."
And he would leave.
1608
01:14:58,410 --> 01:14:59,912
Once he left,
and everyone's like, "Hey!"
1609
01:15:00,037 --> 01:15:01,580
Troy, get up here
and double-bounce me!
1610
01:15:01,705 --> 01:15:03,415
That's not
how we do things here!
1611
01:15:03,582 --> 01:15:05,083
You get up here
and double-bounce me
1612
01:15:05,250 --> 01:15:07,085
or I'll tell everybody
about this place!
1613
01:15:07,252 --> 01:15:10,005
Harmon then was, like,
1614
01:15:10,130 --> 01:15:12,174
listening to his--
his cast,
1615
01:15:12,299 --> 01:15:16,261
and he goes, "Don't worry,
I broke Pierce's legs for you."
1616
01:15:18,222 --> 01:15:19,932
Father...
1617
01:15:23,894 --> 01:15:25,604
My legs, aah!
1618
01:15:25,771 --> 01:15:28,857
Two casts and a wheelchair.
1619
01:15:28,982 --> 01:15:32,653
So you just stick him
in one place,
1620
01:15:32,778 --> 01:15:36,073
and just shoot him out
for the whole episode.
1621
01:15:36,198 --> 01:15:37,783
He's just fuckin'
in that chair.
1622
01:15:39,493 --> 01:15:41,286
For the first time,
1623
01:15:41,453 --> 01:15:45,290
it was very clear to him
that he was the old fart.
1624
01:15:46,041 --> 01:15:49,086
His castmates,
they were so much younger,
1625
01:15:49,211 --> 01:15:52,047
and they were just living
a very different life.
1626
01:15:52,172 --> 01:15:55,050
Here's the thing,
the first script back--
1627
01:15:55,175 --> 01:15:57,427
- which Chevy loves, right?
- Chevy?
1628
01:15:57,553 --> 01:15:59,096
Have you seen it?
1629
01:15:59,221 --> 01:16:02,182
I have not seen it. This is
the respect I didn't get.
1630
01:16:02,307 --> 01:16:03,892
It's in his email.
1631
01:16:04,017 --> 01:16:05,894
It was in New York.
His email's in New York.
1632
01:16:06,019 --> 01:16:08,647
They were cracking up,
because they'd asked him,
1633
01:16:08,814 --> 01:16:10,691
"Do you do email?
Do you have email?"
1634
01:16:10,816 --> 01:16:13,569
And he said, "Oh, yeah,
but that's in New York."
1635
01:16:13,694 --> 01:16:15,779
The cast, by the way,
is-- minus Chevy,
1636
01:16:15,904 --> 01:16:17,698
is so nice.
1637
01:16:19,199 --> 01:16:22,494
He said you're nice!
You're nice!
1638
01:16:24,663 --> 01:16:25,956
Chevy was unprotected.
1639
01:16:26,081 --> 01:16:28,959
And any time
I... spoke to anyone,
1640
01:16:29,084 --> 01:16:30,669
no one really did anything.
1641
01:16:31,837 --> 01:16:33,964
That was
when I realized that
1642
01:16:34,089 --> 01:16:37,551
I was getting a six pack
of organic red wine,
1643
01:16:37,676 --> 01:16:41,388
and after about four days,
it was gone.
1644
01:16:41,513 --> 01:16:43,807
I pointed it out to Chevy
1645
01:16:43,932 --> 01:16:46,476
probably five different times,
1646
01:16:46,602 --> 01:16:48,270
and he would roll it back.
1647
01:16:48,395 --> 01:16:50,814
And then he didn't like me
1648
01:16:50,939 --> 01:16:53,191
pointing it out to him.
1649
01:16:53,358 --> 01:16:55,360
Because the...
1650
01:16:55,527 --> 01:16:57,237
the beast of addiction
1651
01:16:57,362 --> 01:16:59,156
starts taking over.
1652
01:16:59,281 --> 01:17:02,242
He was not an alcoholic
all those years,
1653
01:17:02,367 --> 01:17:05,412
but alcoholism is
a whole different level.
1654
01:17:05,537 --> 01:17:07,539
It really takes over.
1655
01:17:07,706 --> 01:17:09,875
And that was
hard for him to stop.
1656
01:17:10,709 --> 01:17:12,252
Chevy was functional.
1657
01:17:12,377 --> 01:17:16,006
I didn't...
realize it right away.
1658
01:17:16,131 --> 01:17:18,050
Caley did.
1659
01:17:18,175 --> 01:17:19,551
She finally said,
"Mom, I think
1660
01:17:19,718 --> 01:17:22,721
he's drinking on set."
1661
01:17:22,846 --> 01:17:25,682
Look at awesome
Jeffrey Winger.
1662
01:17:25,807 --> 01:17:28,185
Too awesome
for old Pierce,
1663
01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:30,729
with your hip shirts
and your--
1664
01:17:30,854 --> 01:17:33,190
your gelled hair
and your...
1665
01:17:33,315 --> 01:17:34,858
It was out in the open
1666
01:17:34,983 --> 01:17:37,235
that Chevy Chase was
a little difficult
1667
01:17:37,402 --> 01:17:39,237
on "Community."
And I'm being nice.
1668
01:17:41,198 --> 01:17:43,200
People were talking about it,
enough that Dan did
1669
01:17:43,325 --> 01:17:45,077
that thing
at the wrap party.
1670
01:17:47,746 --> 01:17:48,955
My dad was super-excited
1671
01:17:49,081 --> 01:17:51,541
to bring me and my mom
to the wrap party.
1672
01:17:51,667 --> 01:17:55,462
We walk in,
Dan had had some drinks.
1673
01:17:56,338 --> 01:17:59,091
He starts railing on Chevy
on the microphone.
1674
01:17:59,216 --> 01:18:03,220
He... had gotten
the whole cast and crew
1675
01:18:03,345 --> 01:18:04,721
to yell,
1676
01:18:04,846 --> 01:18:07,933
"Fuck you, Chevy,
fuck you, Chevy."
1677
01:18:08,100 --> 01:18:10,852
I'm there, he's showing
his daughter, like,
1678
01:18:10,977 --> 01:18:12,521
"This is the show I did,"
1679
01:18:12,646 --> 01:18:14,022
and we walk into
"Fuck you, Chevy."
1680
01:18:14,147 --> 01:18:16,608
That's rough, and mean.
1681
01:18:16,775 --> 01:18:18,985
I don't get talked to
like that by anybody,
1682
01:18:19,111 --> 01:18:21,321
certainly not in front
of my wife and daughter,
1683
01:18:21,446 --> 01:18:23,365
you [bleep]-damn
- hole,
1684
01:18:23,490 --> 01:18:25,117
alcoholic fat [bleep].
1685
01:18:25,283 --> 01:18:27,786
You're not funny.
You're okay.
1686
01:18:27,911 --> 01:18:29,538
He was pissed
1687
01:18:29,663 --> 01:18:31,206
and left
an angry, pissed,
1688
01:18:31,331 --> 01:18:34,126
but also kind of funny
voicemail to Dan.
1689
01:18:34,251 --> 01:18:36,128
You can suck my [bleep].
1690
01:18:36,253 --> 01:18:38,296
Dan was going
through a time as well,
1691
01:18:38,463 --> 01:18:41,925
and he ended up putting
my dad's voicemail public.
1692
01:18:43,969 --> 01:18:45,429
So, they went back and forth,
I don't know,
1693
01:18:45,554 --> 01:18:47,973
there was like
this little mini-war with them.
1694
01:18:49,015 --> 01:18:51,977
Dan was fired from the show.
1695
01:18:53,854 --> 01:18:55,772
They made up,
and then my dad said,
1696
01:18:55,897 --> 01:18:57,941
"I won't come back without Dan,"
it was crazy!
1697
01:18:58,066 --> 01:18:59,985
We have to teach Jeffrey
how to fight.
1698
01:19:00,110 --> 01:19:02,112
I know a few moves.
Troy, I assume
1699
01:19:02,237 --> 01:19:03,655
you're handy
with a switchblade.
1700
01:19:03,822 --> 01:19:05,365
Abed, you get
back to the family tent,
1701
01:19:05,490 --> 01:19:07,993
try to find a chicken
for Jeff to chase.
1702
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,246
As the seasons went on,
1703
01:19:11,371 --> 01:19:14,166
Chevy had a lot--
a lot of concerns
1704
01:19:14,332 --> 01:19:15,834
with his role
1705
01:19:15,959 --> 01:19:17,335
and how they were
portraying him.
1706
01:19:17,502 --> 01:19:19,421
A little angry,
a little mean.
1707
01:19:19,546 --> 01:19:21,047
They were
writing his character
1708
01:19:21,173 --> 01:19:23,049
more and more bigoted.
1709
01:19:23,175 --> 01:19:25,761
And he... was getting
upset about it.
1710
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:30,390
I was there directing
1711
01:19:30,515 --> 01:19:33,018
the night Chevy Chase got fired
from "Community."
1712
01:19:33,185 --> 01:19:36,938
And that's why Pierce should
host the reception.
1713
01:19:37,063 --> 01:19:38,356
He speaks their language.
1714
01:19:38,523 --> 01:19:40,901
Finally, somebody's
making some sense.
1715
01:19:41,026 --> 01:19:43,236
I've got a Blackface
Señor Wences bit
1716
01:19:43,361 --> 01:19:45,864
- I've been workshopping.
- Perfect.
1717
01:19:46,031 --> 01:19:48,033
Harmon writes this.
1718
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,160
A Blackface
hand puppet routine.
1719
01:19:50,285 --> 01:19:52,746
What you talking about, honky?
1720
01:19:52,871 --> 01:19:54,414
Character is a little
1721
01:19:54,539 --> 01:19:56,082
tone-deaf on this thing.
1722
01:19:56,208 --> 01:19:59,377
...I haven't introduced you
to my Asian wife yet.
1723
01:20:00,587 --> 01:20:02,047
Uh-oh!
1724
01:20:02,214 --> 01:20:06,134
Now, had it been
Chevy in his heyday,
1725
01:20:06,259 --> 01:20:08,970
he would've been
totally fine, right?
1726
01:20:09,095 --> 01:20:11,681
He said something to Yvette.
1727
01:20:11,807 --> 01:20:13,558
I know that
there was a history
1728
01:20:13,725 --> 01:20:15,977
between those two
around race.
1729
01:20:16,102 --> 01:20:19,231
And... she...
1730
01:20:19,356 --> 01:20:20,941
got up
and stormed out of there.
1731
01:20:21,066 --> 01:20:22,692
Chevy storms off.
1732
01:20:22,818 --> 01:20:24,903
So, the producer is like,
1733
01:20:25,028 --> 01:20:27,239
"We need Yvette
in this scene, right?"
1734
01:20:27,364 --> 01:20:28,949
I'm like, "Yeah, yeah,
she's in the next scene."
1735
01:20:29,074 --> 01:20:30,367
And he goes,
"Well, she won't come out
1736
01:20:30,492 --> 01:20:32,577
unless Chevy apologizes
to her," I'm like...
1737
01:20:32,744 --> 01:20:34,329
uh-oh.
1738
01:20:34,454 --> 01:20:36,081
It...
1739
01:20:36,206 --> 01:20:38,917
he's... like...
1740
01:20:39,084 --> 01:20:41,920
he comes back--
comes back on the set,
1741
01:20:42,087 --> 01:20:44,756
and he's like--
he goes, "Hey, man,
1742
01:20:44,923 --> 01:20:46,299
I didn't--
I didn't say anything."
1743
01:20:46,424 --> 01:20:48,385
And I'm like,
"No, I know, I know."
1744
01:20:48,510 --> 01:20:50,971
I-- he goes-- he goes,
"You know, me and Richard Pryor,
1745
01:20:51,096 --> 01:20:52,556
I used to call
Richard Pryor the n-word,
1746
01:20:52,681 --> 01:20:55,100
he used to call me the honky,
and we loved each other."
1747
01:20:55,267 --> 01:20:57,978
And I'm like,
"I know, man, I love that bit.
1748
01:20:58,103 --> 01:21:00,105
I said, "But, you know,
can we just have
1749
01:21:00,230 --> 01:21:01,857
a little apology?"
He goes, "For what?"
1750
01:21:01,982 --> 01:21:03,525
And I'm like...
I was just,
1751
01:21:03,650 --> 01:21:06,027
"I don't know, like,
we're just-- you know,
1752
01:21:06,152 --> 01:21:08,905
can we just make
the goddamn show?
1753
01:21:09,030 --> 01:21:10,448
Can we make
the goddamn show?"
1754
01:21:12,117 --> 01:21:14,077
Somebody has leaked
that there was
1755
01:21:14,202 --> 01:21:16,788
a racial incident
to The Hollywood Reporter
1756
01:21:16,955 --> 01:21:19,124
at 2:00
in the fucking morning.
1757
01:21:19,249 --> 01:21:21,376
There are 50--
75 extras there,
1758
01:21:21,501 --> 01:21:24,421
so you're like,
"Oh, my God, this is so--
1759
01:21:24,546 --> 01:21:27,007
this shouldn't have
happened," right?
1760
01:21:27,132 --> 01:21:29,426
And he comes storming
onto the set,
1761
01:21:29,551 --> 01:21:32,387
and he goes,
"Who fucked me over?!"
1762
01:21:32,512 --> 01:21:34,014
And I'm like--
1763
01:21:34,139 --> 01:21:36,141
and he goes,
"One of you motherfuckers
1764
01:21:36,308 --> 01:21:39,644
said to The Hollywood Reporter,
my career is ruined!
1765
01:21:39,769 --> 01:21:43,064
I'm ruined!" Like that,
like it's a full meltdown.
1766
01:21:43,189 --> 01:21:44,774
"Fuck all of you!"
1767
01:21:44,900 --> 01:21:48,403
And I'm like... "All right,
let's shoot the scene."
1768
01:21:48,528 --> 01:21:51,656
Look, either he leaves
the group, or I do.
1769
01:21:54,117 --> 01:21:56,494
You just dug your own grave.
1770
01:22:05,003 --> 01:22:07,380
He never ended up
coming back after that.
1771
01:22:09,633 --> 01:22:12,260
Hey... what's up?
1772
01:22:12,385 --> 01:22:14,554
They kicked me out
of the group!
1773
01:22:15,472 --> 01:22:17,223
Chevy Chase reportedly used
1774
01:22:17,349 --> 01:22:19,309
the n-word after complaining
about some of the lines
1775
01:22:19,434 --> 01:22:22,187
that the show "Community"
had given him.
1776
01:22:22,354 --> 01:22:25,315
Some of the lines made him
so upset that he said
1777
01:22:25,440 --> 01:22:27,317
that pretty soon
they would have him
1778
01:22:27,442 --> 01:22:29,319
call the Black characters
the n-word,
1779
01:22:29,444 --> 01:22:31,363
but he actually said
the n-word.
1780
01:22:32,948 --> 01:22:34,199
When you read that stuff,
1781
01:22:34,366 --> 01:22:37,369
"Chevy's been a jerk,"
are those unfounded cheap shots?
1782
01:22:37,535 --> 01:22:38,912
I don't give a crap.
1783
01:22:39,037 --> 01:22:40,872
I am who I am.
1784
01:22:41,039 --> 01:22:42,457
And I like who I am.
1785
01:22:42,582 --> 01:22:44,167
I don't care.
1786
01:22:44,292 --> 01:22:47,253
And it's part of me,
that I don't care.
1787
01:22:49,714 --> 01:22:53,051
I would say
90% of my experience
1788
01:22:53,218 --> 01:22:55,428
with journalism
around my dad
1789
01:22:55,553 --> 01:22:57,222
is negative.
1790
01:22:58,223 --> 01:22:59,391
- This is like--
- Yeah.
1791
01:22:59,557 --> 01:23:00,934
- the core of it.
- Yeah.
1792
01:23:01,059 --> 01:23:02,310
- So, it's kind of like--
- Of course.
1793
01:23:02,435 --> 01:23:03,979
You want the truth,
the reality.
1794
01:23:04,104 --> 01:23:06,398
Well, I want the truth,
but it's kind of like,
1795
01:23:06,564 --> 01:23:09,234
what adds
to the complication
1796
01:23:09,359 --> 01:23:12,112
he doesn't remember
certain things.
1797
01:23:12,237 --> 01:23:15,365
Oh, well, I mean,
he's... 80-something,
1798
01:23:15,490 --> 01:23:18,618
and has basically
come back from the dead, so.
1799
01:23:18,743 --> 01:23:21,329
- Tell me about that, like--
- Oh, my God.
1800
01:23:21,454 --> 01:23:23,123
He had heart failure.
1801
01:23:23,248 --> 01:23:25,291
Have they talked
about that at all?
1802
01:23:28,753 --> 01:23:32,007
That's so hard
to talk about, um...
1803
01:23:36,094 --> 01:23:38,179
Something was wrong,
1804
01:23:38,304 --> 01:23:40,890
and he couldn't explain to me
what was wrong,
1805
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:42,976
so go to the ER,
1806
01:23:43,101 --> 01:23:45,020
his heart stops.
1807
01:23:45,145 --> 01:23:47,689
During those years
he was drinking,
1808
01:23:47,814 --> 01:23:51,651
he got cardiomyopathy,
1809
01:23:51,776 --> 01:23:54,404
when the heart muscles
get weaker,
1810
01:23:54,529 --> 01:23:58,074
and they can't pump
as much blood out
1811
01:23:58,199 --> 01:24:00,201
with each beat.
1812
01:24:00,326 --> 01:24:03,288
They decided
to put him into a coma
1813
01:24:03,455 --> 01:24:05,540
for maybe eight days.
1814
01:24:05,665 --> 01:24:07,834
That's pretty rough
on the body.
1815
01:24:07,959 --> 01:24:11,588
It was so scary
when he was in the hospital.
1816
01:24:11,713 --> 01:24:14,090
We were all there,
it was during COVID.
1817
01:24:14,841 --> 01:24:17,594
The doctor had warned us
we might not get him back,
1818
01:24:17,719 --> 01:24:19,804
we don't know
how present he'll be.
1819
01:24:19,971 --> 01:24:22,265
You know, this...
1820
01:24:22,390 --> 01:24:23,975
prepare yourselves
for the worst.
1821
01:24:28,563 --> 01:24:30,440
He woke up, all he could do
was use his voice,
1822
01:24:30,565 --> 01:24:33,318
"Aah, aah," and it was
just his waking up,
1823
01:24:33,485 --> 01:24:35,487
it was like a new birth.
1824
01:24:35,653 --> 01:24:38,656
And the nurse came in,
to, like, switch some stuff up,
1825
01:24:38,782 --> 01:24:42,285
And she said, "I'm gonna
have to put this in here."
1826
01:24:42,410 --> 01:24:44,788
And he said,
"That's what she said."
1827
01:24:48,374 --> 01:24:50,335
When he came out of it,
it took a while
1828
01:24:50,460 --> 01:24:53,546
for him to re-orient himself.
1829
01:24:54,255 --> 01:24:56,299
So, I feel
like his memory gaps
1830
01:24:56,424 --> 01:24:58,718
come from that incident.
1831
01:24:58,843 --> 01:25:01,513
So, how's that problem
you're having with an erection?
1832
01:25:04,390 --> 01:25:06,768
- This is the worst.
- Queen of diamonds.
1833
01:25:06,893 --> 01:25:07,977
Check.
1834
01:25:08,103 --> 01:25:10,146
Okay, I tell you what...
1835
01:25:10,271 --> 01:25:11,815
who's richer?
1836
01:25:16,778 --> 01:25:19,155
- Let me just say this.
- Yeah?
1837
01:25:20,532 --> 01:25:22,534
They have ways now
of keeping you hard.
1838
01:25:22,659 --> 01:25:25,203
According to the doctors,
1839
01:25:25,328 --> 01:25:27,038
my memory would be
shot from it,
1840
01:25:27,205 --> 01:25:29,916
and that's
what's happened here, so.
1841
01:25:30,041 --> 01:25:32,877
You had a lot
of cognitive disability,
1842
01:25:33,044 --> 01:25:34,629
and we started playing cards.
1843
01:25:34,754 --> 01:25:36,798
- That's right.
- And we played a lot of cards,
1844
01:25:36,923 --> 01:25:39,217
and a lot more cards,
and then you started getting
1845
01:25:39,384 --> 01:25:40,635
- your head back together.
- Yeah.
1846
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:42,220
And then my boys would
come play cards with us--
1847
01:25:42,345 --> 01:25:43,596
- Then we went to chess.
- Then we went to chess.
1848
01:25:43,721 --> 01:25:44,889
And that's when
I started really winning.
1849
01:25:45,056 --> 01:25:46,766
That's when he won
every once in a while.
1850
01:25:48,059 --> 01:25:49,561
Heart failure is what it is.
1851
01:25:49,727 --> 01:25:51,646
I'm fine now.
1852
01:25:51,771 --> 01:25:53,898
It's just that
it affects your memory
1853
01:25:54,065 --> 01:25:55,817
very... uh...
1854
01:25:55,942 --> 01:25:58,736
and the doctors
have told me that, so...
1855
01:25:58,862 --> 01:26:01,239
you know, I have to be
reminded of things.
1856
01:26:01,406 --> 01:26:04,367
Five, king, seven.
1857
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:10,874
In the early days of SNL,
1858
01:26:10,999 --> 01:26:13,001
I would remember trying to tell,
1859
01:26:13,126 --> 01:26:16,171
like, my parents' friends,
or some-- you know,
1860
01:26:16,296 --> 01:26:17,922
about this show
that I write for.
1861
01:26:18,089 --> 01:26:19,757
They hadn't heard of it,
1862
01:26:19,924 --> 01:26:23,428
but I would then
find myself saying,
1863
01:26:23,553 --> 01:26:25,263
"You know,
the Chevy Chase show.
1864
01:26:25,388 --> 01:26:26,806
The show
that Chevy Chase is on."
1865
01:26:26,931 --> 01:26:28,183
That they knew.
1866
01:26:29,809 --> 01:26:31,311
Tonight, we are live
1867
01:26:31,436 --> 01:26:33,771
at 30 Rockefeller Plaza
in the very place
1868
01:26:33,938 --> 01:26:36,983
where "Saturday Night Live"
started 50 years ago.
1869
01:26:37,108 --> 01:26:39,652
Comedy icons,
your favorite entertainers,
1870
01:26:39,777 --> 01:26:41,279
are all here.
1871
01:26:41,446 --> 01:26:43,740
Did you think we would be here
50 years later?
1872
01:26:43,865 --> 01:26:46,284
Uh, you mean, like,
"dead or here"?
1873
01:26:48,203 --> 01:26:49,454
He was there at the moment
1874
01:26:49,621 --> 01:26:51,456
"Saturday Night Live"
was born.
1875
01:26:51,623 --> 01:26:54,042
It was a really
powerful collaboration.
1876
01:26:54,167 --> 01:26:55,919
And we both went
for that ride.
1877
01:26:56,044 --> 01:26:58,213
If it hadn't been for me,
this show would've gone
1878
01:26:58,338 --> 01:27:01,216
on the dumper that year.
1879
01:27:01,341 --> 01:27:05,386
No-- and that's all you're gonna
show now, right? You devils.
1880
01:27:05,511 --> 01:27:07,972
He's very proud
of his days at "SNL."
1881
01:27:08,097 --> 01:27:11,893
Just speaks so highly of
the people he was working with.
1882
01:27:12,018 --> 01:27:14,896
Loves Lorne dearly.
He really does.
1883
01:27:15,021 --> 01:27:16,689
Would you ever come back?
1884
01:27:16,814 --> 01:27:20,360
Of course!
Yeah, I'd love coming back.
1885
01:27:20,485 --> 01:27:24,030
They told Chevy
up until that day
1886
01:27:24,155 --> 01:27:27,325
that there were two bits,
they were going back and forth.
1887
01:27:27,492 --> 01:27:29,911
And then all of a sudden,
"No, there's no bit."
1888
01:27:30,036 --> 01:27:33,373
There were a couple
of versions of Update,
1889
01:27:33,498 --> 01:27:35,917
and we went
back and forth on that.
1890
01:27:36,042 --> 01:27:37,669
There was
also a caution
1891
01:27:37,835 --> 01:27:39,504
from somebody
that I don't wanna name
1892
01:27:39,671 --> 01:27:44,175
that Chevy, you know,
wasn't as focused.
1893
01:27:44,300 --> 01:27:46,594
The night of the 8H show
1894
01:27:46,719 --> 01:27:49,013
that everybody watched
on Sunday night,
1895
01:27:49,138 --> 01:27:51,391
he wasn't in that show.
1896
01:27:51,516 --> 01:27:53,393
I don't know
what the dynamics were,
1897
01:27:53,518 --> 01:27:55,019
I don't know
why that was decided--
1898
01:27:55,186 --> 01:27:56,896
I honestly don't know.
1899
01:27:57,021 --> 01:28:00,233
There's 50 years of casts.
1900
01:28:00,358 --> 01:28:02,360
Billy Crystal,
1901
01:28:02,485 --> 01:28:04,279
no bigger star than Billy.
1902
01:28:04,404 --> 01:28:07,365
He... didn't say
a word that night.
1903
01:28:07,490 --> 01:28:09,659
You know, it's just
too many people to fill.
1904
01:28:09,784 --> 01:28:13,371
Live from New York,
it's Saturday Night!
1905
01:28:13,538 --> 01:28:15,957
He should have opened the show.
1906
01:28:16,082 --> 01:28:18,960
With "It's Saturday Night."
That's it.
1907
01:28:19,085 --> 01:28:20,712
They didn't even need
to use him more.
1908
01:28:20,837 --> 01:28:22,255
But...
1909
01:28:22,380 --> 01:28:24,882
come on, guys!
That was it!
1910
01:28:26,384 --> 01:28:28,219
And live from New York...
1911
01:28:28,386 --> 01:28:30,305
It's Saturday Night!
1912
01:28:31,973 --> 01:28:34,892
You gotta think
about the people who grew up
1913
01:28:35,059 --> 01:28:37,228
watching that show...
1914
01:28:37,353 --> 01:28:39,397
and watching him.
1915
01:28:39,564 --> 01:28:42,317
It was a bit
of a slap in the face.
1916
01:28:42,442 --> 01:28:44,444
Well, it was kind of...
1917
01:28:44,569 --> 01:28:46,571
upsetting, actually.
1918
01:28:46,696 --> 01:28:48,406
Uh, and this'll
probably be
1919
01:28:48,573 --> 01:28:49,699
the first time
I'm saying it,
1920
01:28:49,824 --> 01:28:51,993
but I expected
that I would've been
1921
01:28:52,118 --> 01:28:54,829
on the stage too,
with all the other actors.
1922
01:28:54,954 --> 01:28:56,664
- Wait a minute...
- When Garrett
1923
01:28:56,789 --> 01:29:00,585
and Laraine went
on the stage there...
1924
01:29:00,710 --> 01:29:03,254
I was curious
as to why I didn't.
1925
01:29:03,421 --> 01:29:05,131
No one asked me to.
1926
01:29:05,256 --> 01:29:07,216
Why was I left aside?
1927
01:29:07,342 --> 01:29:10,636
Cornelius Crane Chase.
1928
01:29:10,762 --> 01:29:13,264
Who we've all
come to know...
1929
01:29:13,389 --> 01:29:15,141
as Connie.
1930
01:29:15,266 --> 01:29:16,976
Let's face it,
Weekend Update
1931
01:29:17,101 --> 01:29:20,229
simply would not exist
without him.
1932
01:29:20,355 --> 01:29:21,939
So... it would be wrong
1933
01:29:22,065 --> 01:29:24,609
to have him listed at anywhere
but number four.
1934
01:29:28,363 --> 01:29:29,572
Why was Bill Murray there?
1935
01:29:29,697 --> 01:29:31,449
- Why was I not?
- Jane Curtin and...
1936
01:29:31,574 --> 01:29:32,992
I don't have
an answer for that.
1937
01:29:33,117 --> 01:29:34,410
...and Danny Aykroyd.
1938
01:29:34,535 --> 01:29:36,287
I did bring it up once...
1939
01:29:36,454 --> 01:29:39,374
...in a text to Lorne.
1940
01:29:39,499 --> 01:29:41,793
And then took it back,
I-I said,
1941
01:29:41,918 --> 01:29:44,420
"Okay, I take it back,
it's silly."
1942
01:29:44,545 --> 01:29:46,631
But it's not that silly.
1943
01:29:46,798 --> 01:29:50,676
It was-- somebody made
a bad mistake there.
1944
01:29:50,802 --> 01:29:53,388
I don't know who it was,
but somebody made a mistake.
1945
01:29:53,513 --> 01:29:56,140
They should've had me
on that stage.
1946
01:29:57,517 --> 01:29:59,477
It hurt.
1947
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:03,398
If you wanna know
what it takes
1948
01:30:03,523 --> 01:30:06,484
to make a show like this
last for 50 years,
1949
01:30:06,609 --> 01:30:08,486
it's these people
right around me--
1950
01:30:08,653 --> 01:30:10,655
the first cast.
Laraine Newman,
1951
01:30:10,822 --> 01:30:14,075
Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris,
and Chevy Chase.
1952
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:17,453
Afterwards,
when I saw him,
1953
01:30:17,578 --> 01:30:19,539
everybody was happy
to see each other,
1954
01:30:19,664 --> 01:30:22,667
and there's Chevy,
looking like he was...
1955
01:30:22,834 --> 01:30:25,044
looking for his place.
1956
01:30:25,169 --> 01:30:27,171
And I said,
"You know, Chevy...
1957
01:30:29,132 --> 01:30:31,759
none of this would be
happening without you."
1958
01:30:33,386 --> 01:30:35,388
You don't do Weekend Update
1959
01:30:35,513 --> 01:30:37,849
to start this
at the beginning,
1960
01:30:38,015 --> 01:30:39,725
all of us are
somewhere else tonight.
1961
01:31:10,006 --> 01:31:11,924
There is
a nip in the air, though.
1962
01:31:12,049 --> 01:31:14,051
Can I take something out
for you?
1963
01:31:19,557 --> 01:31:21,559
- All right, Pat.
- Hey, buddy.
1964
01:31:21,726 --> 01:31:23,644
- I'm glad you're here.
- I'm glad I'm here, too.
1965
01:31:23,769 --> 01:31:25,897
Should this be buttoned,
do you know, up here?
1966
01:31:26,022 --> 01:31:27,440
- Stand up.
- Huh?
1967
01:31:27,565 --> 01:31:28,733
- Let me see.
- Where's Jayni?
1968
01:31:28,900 --> 01:31:30,151
I don't know,
let go of it, though.
1969
01:31:30,276 --> 01:31:32,945
Wha-- you said
that you think this is good.
1970
01:31:33,070 --> 01:31:34,572
- I don't really think so--
- Well, try buttoning it.
1971
01:31:34,739 --> 01:31:36,407
Okay-- I am--
what do you mean, "try,"
1972
01:31:36,532 --> 01:31:37,909
I'm buttoning it.
1973
01:31:38,034 --> 01:31:39,285
So, every December
is our Super Bowl,
1974
01:31:39,410 --> 01:31:41,871
and this is
what we prepare for all year.
1975
01:31:41,996 --> 01:31:43,414
So, it's okay then,
do you think,
1976
01:31:43,581 --> 01:31:44,957
if I go out like this?
1977
01:31:45,082 --> 01:31:47,710
We've been going out
on the road
1978
01:31:47,835 --> 01:31:50,546
November, late November,
and all of December,
1979
01:31:50,671 --> 01:31:53,132
doing these...
1980
01:31:53,257 --> 01:31:57,261
big theater screenings
of "Christmas Vacation,"
1981
01:31:57,428 --> 01:31:58,930
where Chevy and I go out
1982
01:31:59,096 --> 01:32:01,557
and do the answer
Q&A afterwards.
1983
01:32:01,682 --> 01:32:04,477
And that all started happening
1984
01:32:04,602 --> 01:32:06,938
because there are
so many people
1985
01:32:07,063 --> 01:32:10,650
that live and breathe
"Christmas Vacation."
1986
01:32:10,775 --> 01:32:12,902
You have food
on your pants, honey.
1987
01:32:13,027 --> 01:32:14,529
- A lot of food.
- They're gonna see that--
1988
01:32:14,654 --> 01:32:16,239
There's breakfast.
1989
01:32:16,364 --> 01:32:17,907
- Please!
- Lunch, dinner.
1990
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:21,869
What're you--
no one's gonna notice the--
1991
01:32:21,994 --> 01:32:24,664
the mustard and eggs
on my pants.
1992
01:32:25,706 --> 01:32:27,542
- What's that?
- I'm drying it.
1993
01:32:27,667 --> 01:32:29,168
I think
I'm going to enjoy this.
1994
01:32:31,963 --> 01:32:33,631
- You know Bill?
- Mr. Chase, nice to meet you.
1995
01:32:33,756 --> 01:32:35,216
- Hi, Bill.
- Thanks for being here.
1996
01:32:35,341 --> 01:32:37,426
- Thank you very much!
- He owns the theater.
1997
01:32:37,552 --> 01:32:38,886
- What?
- He owns the theater.
1998
01:32:39,011 --> 01:32:40,638
- That's great.
- Look, I gotta ask you
1999
01:32:40,763 --> 01:32:42,139
- one question, please.
- Okay.
2000
01:32:42,265 --> 01:32:43,641
- You made "Caddyshack"--
- Can't answer that.
2001
01:32:43,808 --> 01:32:45,476
Okay.
2002
01:32:52,483 --> 01:32:54,277
I did it.
2003
01:32:59,448 --> 01:33:01,576
Please help me welcome
Mr. Chevy Chase.
2004
01:33:10,251 --> 01:33:11,877
What?!
2005
01:33:12,003 --> 01:33:14,005
Look at them!
2006
01:33:16,340 --> 01:33:18,259
Thank you.
2007
01:33:18,384 --> 01:33:21,012
Oh, my God. Thank you.
2008
01:33:24,223 --> 01:33:25,808
You know,
when you're making movies,
2009
01:33:25,933 --> 01:33:27,351
you don't get to see this.
2010
01:33:27,518 --> 01:33:31,188
You just get to see
the camera, the director,
2011
01:33:31,355 --> 01:33:33,065
and some nice ass--
no, I'm kidding.
2012
01:33:33,190 --> 01:33:35,067
And, uh...
2013
01:33:35,192 --> 01:33:38,279
you're my real fans,
and I really appreciate this.
2014
01:33:38,404 --> 01:33:40,489
Thank you.
2015
01:33:40,615 --> 01:33:42,408
Thank you so much.
2016
01:33:45,453 --> 01:33:47,872
It's fun,
it's fun because
2017
01:33:47,997 --> 01:33:50,958
when you make movies,
or even television,
2018
01:33:51,083 --> 01:33:54,879
you don't get the kind of
honest reaction from your fans,
2019
01:33:55,004 --> 01:33:57,214
as you do there
in the theater.
2020
01:33:58,966 --> 01:34:01,677
I'm always moved,
I get goosebumps.
2021
01:34:02,803 --> 01:34:04,555
Jayni,
this question is for you.
2022
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,224
How is Chevy similar to Clark?
2023
01:34:07,391 --> 01:34:09,226
Oh.
2024
01:34:09,352 --> 01:34:12,229
Well, we both look the same.
2025
01:34:12,396 --> 01:34:16,233
A lot of the persona was at
being effortless-- it wasn't.
2026
01:34:17,068 --> 01:34:18,903
You represent a generation,
2027
01:34:19,028 --> 01:34:21,614
and another generation grows up,
2028
01:34:21,739 --> 01:34:24,784
they look at your stuff,
they worship you,
2029
01:34:24,909 --> 01:34:27,787
and then you show up
in their work.
2030
01:34:29,288 --> 01:34:32,917
You can't not remember
someone like him fondly.
2031
01:34:33,042 --> 01:34:34,460
Listen, 5:39...
2032
01:34:34,585 --> 01:34:36,212
Any encounter with him,
you don't know what's gonna
2033
01:34:36,337 --> 01:34:38,005
come out next.
It's exciting,
2034
01:34:38,130 --> 01:34:39,965
and dangerous,
and really, really fun.
2035
01:34:40,091 --> 01:34:42,802
Kate L. wanted to know,
did you break your finger
2036
01:34:42,927 --> 01:34:45,054
- while shooting the movie?
- If what?
2037
01:34:45,179 --> 01:34:47,223
Did you break your finger
while shooting the movie?
2038
01:34:47,348 --> 01:34:48,683
I thought you said
"sphincter."
2039
01:34:48,808 --> 01:34:51,102
Look...
2040
01:34:51,268 --> 01:34:52,812
His legacy really is
2041
01:34:52,937 --> 01:34:55,314
how he made people laugh.
2042
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:58,234
How you tickle
that part of your heart,
2043
01:34:58,359 --> 01:35:01,070
and I don't think
people forget that.
2044
01:35:01,195 --> 01:35:03,322
If acting didn't work out,
2045
01:35:03,447 --> 01:35:05,950
what would you have
wanted to do for a career?
2046
01:35:07,076 --> 01:35:08,911
Well, I've always
enjoyed surgery.
2047
01:35:09,036 --> 01:35:11,789
Surgery.
2048
01:35:11,956 --> 01:35:13,791
Would you work
with him again?
2049
01:35:15,626 --> 01:35:18,212
Yeah... yeah.
I would.
2050
01:35:20,005 --> 01:35:21,882
I'd work with Chevy,
I mean, are you kidding me?
2051
01:35:22,007 --> 01:35:24,343
It's Chevy Chase.
Yeah, I'd work with him again.
2052
01:35:24,468 --> 01:35:26,011
And I want to look him
straight in the eye,
2053
01:35:26,137 --> 01:35:28,013
and I want to tell him
what a cheap, lying,
2054
01:35:28,139 --> 01:35:29,974
no-good, rotten,
four-flushing,
2055
01:35:30,099 --> 01:35:31,392
low-life,
