There's a clip of Kelsey Grammer falling off a stage.
The best comment was:

is your career officially over when you are doing events like this.. In Buffalo?
Is there also a Tire store grand opening there as well he was booked at?
To: Tell It Right
This just in: Chevy Chase’s career is still dead.

When you are on-stage, you are always mindful of the edge because the lights make it disappear when you are trying to perform. It is usually taped with a “Don’t go past here” line.

His ‘career’ was over, a long time ago. These 5th tier city appearances are just amateur withdrawal symptoms from him.

Chevy Chase came onto the scene as an original SNL cast member and rode the lightning as SNL became a late-night juggernaut literally overnight. Definitely a case of being in the right place at the right time. He was able to parlay his rather brief SNL stint into a movie career (with a good number of flops). The only thing he did memorable in the movies was those National Lampoon Vacation movies. Though not a fan of Chevy overall, I must say that he was perfectly cast for the role of Clark Griswold.
Other than his Weekend Update spot, one is hard pressed to remember successful skits with the other players. His interpretation of "accident-prone" then-President Ford was stupid and makes for cringe-worthy watching today. Especially in light of the fact we have a current occupant of the White House who makes Ford look like a graceful ballet dancer - yet today's SNL doesn't even touch on it.
When he left SNL for the movies, his replacement Bill Murray was much better (and had a more successful film career).

Stages are dangerous. I liked the reflective red tape that marked the front and side edges of a famous club I played in the past. The place is also famous for all the bras hanging from light supports over the stage.

If the grading is on the curve, he’s in. I was around him a bit in the 80’s, good man imo. There’s a good book about him written by a former classmate of mine, title is “Write It When I’m Gone”, by Thomas M. DeFrank.

Good one!
Interestingly enough, Chevy got his nickname (his actual first name is Cornelius) from an old medieval English ballad that his grandmother was fond of. So no connection to the town in Maryland at all (which was founded hundreds of years ago and also derives roots from that old English ballad).
I love trivia like this.

Thank you for that. You made my day. It is God in Heaven Who laughs. (Psalms 2:4) Certainly whatever you do, in this case his mocking Ford for a simple trip up in 1975, comes back to mock you in return. Galatians 6:7

In the next election, Jimmy Carter will get more votes than Chevy Chase. No one votes for clumsy people.
To: Red Badger
Seriously, are we sure he wasn’t just doing his signature move and the audience didn’t get the joke because of his advanced age? The joke would be worth an ice pack for me, but not if I missed the punchline. LOL.

He’s always been a snide leftist. I suppose I’m glad he didn’t break his neck, but I hope he’s in pain for a while.
