Does anybody know where to find the unaired Chevy Chase roast from the 90's?
I've read that they couldn't find anyone who'd admit to being his friend, so a bunch of random people just eviscerated him.
When he got the mic he was almost crying and just said "Well, that really hurt". It was so brutal it was never broadcast.
I don't like CC, so I want to see the bloodbath.
That sounds like a really good time. I'll try to find it later. :D

I've heard he's an ass, but how do you not like Chevy Chase?

Fletch
Caddyshack
Spies Like Us
Vacation
Three Amigos

Classic movies, bro!

Plus, he was in one of my favorite videos of all time:

Listen to that bass line. Such a good song.

Note : At 4:20 of this video Chevy actually blows the horn in Paul Simon's face. It wasn't scripted and Paul laughs.

Coincidence? I think not.

LOL @ "Traditionally, this is the opportunity to get even with all of the other comedians......but,,,,,,,,,there aren't any."

That's pretty good.

I said it in the 80's thread and I'll say it again. Call me Al was my JAM.

^^^ Sorry for the edit @Alienator . Your video dropped between my vid and my 4:20 comment. For the sake of continuity, I moved my comment under the video.

Fletch is one of the reasons I don't like him. The Fletch books are amazing. The Fletch character is one of the most interesting characters in fiction, and CC reduced him to a one dimensional clown.
Chase is uber talented, but seems to take the same tired route. Community is a good example, he always had to shoehorn his lame physical schtik into scenes where it added nothing to the show.
Add to that, nobody who worked with him has anything good to say and that's how I can not like Chevy Chase.
:cheers:

Do you know how many times I've seen Fletch? Of course you don't. Why? Because you don't know me. So that was a stupid question. My bad. I had no idea Fletch was a book. I just thought it was a funny as hell movie.

Can I borrow your towel? My car just hit a water buffalo. In 1991 - on Senior Break at Myrtle Beach - this line worked for me. She dropped her towel and revealed the most incredible body I've ever seen. Never did catch her name - but damn what a body. So yeah.....thanks Chevy.

Fletch rules.

I'm watching it now. Paul Schafer is pretty funny/brutal so far.

Edit:
Al Franken might as well have used a baseball bat. Chevy is looking miserable. This might not be as much fun to watch as I'd thought.

E2: Lampinelli is a pig like usual. She barely mentions Chevy, just makes lame, shitty jokes about people in the audience.

E3:Larraine Newman may be one of the few who knows CC and she calls him a racist, dope pushing and using, sleazy, brown nosing, dick. She mocks his movies and his talk show and closes with the most insincere "Chevy, I love you" imaginable.

E4: Mark Marin(sp?) is just a straight up asshole to CC. He clearly doesn't know him and has zero respect. CC didn't want to shake his hand at the end of his spiel.

E5: Richard Belzer says he's known CC so long, he knew him when he was nice, and funny. He says the only time CC has a funny bone in his body these days is when Belzer "fucks him in the ass". No handshake after.

E6: Martin Short, Steve Martin and Nathan Lane in a pre-recorded bit. They seem like they're having fun, and they don't really give a shit.

E7: Beverley D'Angelo got really fat. She barely mentions Chevy and sings a raunchy song "I can't fuck without falling in love".

E8: The late Greg Geraldo makes fun of how none of the big stars Chevy's worked with bothered to show up. He trashes CC's talk show and says Chevy snorted the funny right out of himself.

E9: A still small-time(but clearly very talented) Stephen Colbert talks about the awful things said about Chevy backstage. He admits he doesn't know and has never met CC. He says about Chase "there but for the grace of god, go I....pale and pear-shaped, a humorless husk". He goes on, in one of the most scathing rants of the show. Chevy is not enjoying this at all. Colbert ends by turning Chase's SNL catchphrase "I'm Chevy Chase, and you're not" into an insult.
Colbert is the best roaster so far, and it isn't close.

E10: Pre-recorded bit by Randy Quaid that implies Chevy is a literal cunt.

E11:Chevy takes the podium "I agree with everything that's been said". He weakly tries to take shots at the roasters, and thanks Schafer.

I made it through. It wasn't quite as bad as I'd been lead to believe, but still clearly not a fun time for Chevy.
I still don't feel sorry for him though. He made his bed, he gets to lie in it.

Thanks again for finding this, Alienator.
