“The Chevy Chase Conundrum: A Scathing Rebuke Behind the Scenes of ‘Live from New York'”
**The Unfiltered Truth: Chevy Chase Criticizes Saturday Night Director Jason Reitman’s Film**
Chevy Chase, the legendary comedian and Saturday Night Live (SNL) alum, has never been one to mince words. Recently, he showed just how straight-shooting he can be when he rubbed shoulders with director Jason Reitman on the set of the upcoming biographical comedy-drama, Saturday Night. The movie, which follows the behind-the-scenes story of SNL’s premiere night in October 1975, stars Corey Michael Smith as Chase and features a talented ensemble cast, including Kaia Gerber, Jacqueline Carlin, and Lorne Michaels.
According to an account shared by Mike Bridenstine on Fly on the Wall, a podcast hosted by Dana Carvey and David Spade, Chase delivered a post-screening critique that left Reitman and his guests in stitches. “Chevrolet likes to say things you shouldn’t say, to the extreme that it can go wherever it wants,” Carvey joked, setting the scene for the encounter. “Reitman began by noting that he has known Chase ‘all his life’ and is a friend of his children. “So Chevy comes in to watch a movie and he and [his wife] Jenny They watch the movie,” he explained.
“He was in the crowd, and he came up to me afterwards, tapped me on the shoulder, and said, ‘Well, you should be embarrassed,'” Reitman said. After Chase’s candid comment, Reitman attempted to balance the meaning of the actor’s words, stating that Chase’s reaction was a “1,000 percent Chevy moment that was just for him” and that he wasn’t criticizing the film – only the fact that the director was trying to make a movie about him and his past.
The comment drew laughter from Carvey and Spade, with Spade questioning how much of Chase’s words were intended as humor and how much was genuine upset. “It’s funny to say it, but you have to look at the meter and say, ‘What’s the real percentage? Is this a joke, or is he a little upset?’ [with]? You just don’t know, he leaves and you say, ‘Well, he saw that.'”
Chase’s harsh critique aside, Saturday Night promises to deliver a behind-the-scenes look at the chaos and excitement that marked the premiere night of SNL, featuring Corey Michael Smith as a younger version of Chase and a talented ensemble cast that includes Kaia Gerber, Jacqueline Carlin, and Lorne Michaels.
