Chevy Chase Totally Sucks!

This email was recently sent to me by a friend. But it's what I've been saying all along. Chevy Chase is an ass:

"While reading an article about Saturday Night Live (excerpt from some sort of oral history book being published recently or soon), I was reminded of you mentioning a hatred for Chevy Chase when I read these quotes:

Terry Sweeney (cast member): Chevy hosted the second show, and we were all so excited because, to us, Chevy was like a god; this was someone returning who'd been one of the original people and was this legendary figure. And when he got there, he was a monster. I mean, he insulted everybody. He said to Robert Downey Jr.,"Didn't your father used to be a successful director? What ever happened to him? Boy, he sure died, you know, he sure went to hell." Downey turned ashen. And then Chevy turned to me and he said, "Oh, you're the gay guy, right?" And he goes, "I've got an idea for a sketch for you. How about we say you have AIDS and we weigh you every week? I don't know what he was on or what was happening to him mentally, but he was just crazy.

Will Ferrell (cast member): The worst host was Chevy Chase. He was here the first year that we were here, and then he came back the next year, and that was the kicker, the following year. I don't know if he was on something or what, if he took too many back pills that day or something, but he was just kind of going around the room and systematically riffing. First it was on the guys, playfully making fun until, when he got to one of our female writers, he made some reference like "Maybe you can give me a hand job later." And I've never seen Lorne more embarrassed and red."
