***Chase was fired from the show over this. ***
Fired? Or a set up for next week’s show and change of cast members.
I remember hearing about him walking off SNL in the middle of a skit, then next Saturday night we see Steve Martin walking in, past Chevy Chase on the street playing a guitar for nickles and dimes.

He was fired from a later show when a cast member demanded an apology for his “racist” remark that wasn’t racist.

He was a big lib. He wasn’t funny for most of his career after the beginning. But IF anyone watched the CNN show, it was pretty clear that for all his faults he’s been ostracized because a gay and a black made unfair leftist accusations. That’s why in watching the show I found myself (surprisingly) sympathizing with him.

But I’ve also enjoyed everyone here dumping on him.
