Chevy Chase reportedly feels hurt because he wasn’t involved SNL50: The anniversary special.
Sharing his thoughts in the CNN Movie documentary I’m Chevy Chase and you’re notsaid the 82-year-old American comedian and actor: “It was actually a little disturbing.”
He added: “I expected to have been on stage with all the other actors too. Then Garrett [Morris] and Laraine [Newman] went on stage there. I was curious why I didn’t do that. Nobody asked me that. Why was I left out?”
“Why was Bill Murray [on the Weekend Update segment] and why wasn’t I? I don’t have an answer for that,” Chase asked.
In particular the Vegas vacation star was not invited to a performance, even though he was there at the recording SNL50: The anniversary special.
He texted Lorne Michaels, the creator of SNLjust to ask why he wasn’t there, but he then withdrew his ‘complaint’ and called it foolish.
The Three Amigos star shared, “I brought it up once in a text to Lorne and then took it back,” Chase admitted.
“I said, ‘Okay, I’ll take it back, silly.’ But it’s not that crazy. Someone made a big mistake there. I don’t know who it was, but someone made a mistake. They should have had me on that stage. It hurt,” Chevy Chase explained.
