The Washington Post took a deep dive into the career of Chevy Chase, and tried to figure out why he is basically persona-non-grata these days.
It's a long piece, but it's really good.
I only had one encounter with Chevy in my life. I was given his home phone number during his days hosting a late night talk show on Fox, and I called him up to ask if he would be on our show (Landecker's show).
He told me to fuck off and lose the number.
