    He clearly is over the hill too. Lacks a filter. Probably has memory issues. Lorne trusted Bill to be with it but not Chevy. Bill was with it and contributed to live laughs. Chevy did get the last shot though in the special as he charged aimlessly through the cast and guests on stage looking lost. And I think he is the most important person in terms of the success of the show and so that's fitting. The early icon who turned into a movie legend for a time, deservedly. Apparently, Gilda Radner's own grandmother asked her once: "Do you really know him?" About Chevy during the height of his fame. That says something.

    Love the idea of him seething in the audience after finding out last minute he wouldn't be on stage.

    Is he surprised though? He's been an absolute monster to everyone he's ever worked with and people in public who have had the misfortune to encounter him.

    John Belushi had to break up a fight between him and Bill Murray because he made a comment about Bill's wife.

    He sexually harassed female staff members on the set of SNL, in front of Will Ferral and Lorne. That kind of behavior puts the show at risk for lawsuits and I can totally see why Lorne doesn't want him back.

    Chase also used racial slurs and told racist jokes on the set of Community, to the point where Donald Glover had to complain about him, and Joel McHale got into a physical altercation with him on set.

    Nobody wants you anymore, Chevy, go cry alone somewhere.

    Which might have worked as a joke after Columbus was talking for maybe 5 minutes.

    Chevy is certainly a fucking creep for that, but I feel like that's downplaying the fact that those lawsuits would only ever exist because Lorne is also a spineless coward who let that behaviour happen in front of him and never said shit.

    I agree with everything you're saying, I just really don't want people to get it twisted; Lorne doesn't distance himself from these people because he's moral, it's because they expose him for the awful things he let go by as a boss, especially in the 80's.

    Just for clarity…

    Chevy did not insult Bill’s wife… kind of the other way around.

    Chevy came back to host and Bill had replaced Chevy in season 2

    Chevy was already regretting leaving…and was resentful of Bill.

    Chevy was mocking Murray about his acne scars a likened his face to the “surface of the moon”

    Bill responded “why don’t you go home a fuck your wife, I hear she might need it” a reference to Chevy’s failing marriage…

    They through some sloppy punches and as Belushi broke them up Bill called Chevy a “medium talent!”

    Ivan Rihtman was backstage and heard the insult and thought it was such a creative and harsh put down, that he wanted to meet Bill.

    Sounds like he has a bit of a grudge. This is why I'll never hold a grudge. My father held grudges and I'll forever hate him for it.

    He knew when it was.

    He coulda reached out.

    But I also agree. He should have been included unless other previous cast members refused to come if he was there

    After reading that article, it just screams of a wounded ego. Almost a “how dare you”.

    He was funny, but it’s hard to laugh at someone once you know they’re an arrogant prick.

    Chevy Chase seems like he’s a lot nicer than he used to be. Maybe that’s just old age, or he did some reflecting, who knows

    It's crazy he has the nerve to be hurt. Chevy is an asshole to be around by most accounts.

    This story says it all. Rob plays it off, but I think it's a coping mechanism for being assaulted by someone whom he heavily looked up to as a career role model.

    Remember, be nice to people on the way up because you might meet them again on the way down.

    I know it hurts. But if you hurt others they are a lot less likely to aid you later.

    People like this don’t realize how important a reputation is! If you are a crappy person all the time you should expect that others don’t want to be around you, no matter who you were before.

    My feeling is that he should have been included, then make him own up to being a dick… as well as part of the foundation.

    The big thing I remember from reading Live From NY years ago is that every time he came back he was an asshole. And he was given many chances to stop being an asshole before they finally just banned him.

    True story. I ran into him after the Snl 50 homecoming concert. I happened to be right by radio city music hall. I couldn’t resist the chance just to ask for a photo just because… it seemed like he ignored me, I figure he wasn’t interested or being rude but then his wife tapped him and said something like Chevy, this man would like a photo with you but after that I’d like to go. It was sweet the way she said it and he really just seemed lost and not together. I’m not defending if he really is a monster or bad man but after that moment I thought of when Marge draws Mr burns naked and says how she drew him that way to show even a monster of a old man is still a fragile human being.

    Maybe those several years you spent acting better than the show and everyone else on it made them not want to include your ass.

    Sad when folks go on their “12 step program of being a lifelong overall dick” tour. Could’ve been participating and going along with anything if most were not wanting the same you acted with.
