Chase has had struggles with substances during his career. He checked into the Betty Ford Clinic in the 1980s for treatment for an addiction to prescription pain killers.

The 72-year-old former star of “Saturday Night Live” and the “Vacation” movies was recently a regular on TV’s “Community” from 2009 to 2014. He has a pair of films coming up

What a joke! He dissed the Betty Ford clinic big time-gratitude. Leftists like that say crazy things because they are unstable. At least a conservative on the sauce will feel a sense of embarrasment and shame.

I went to the doctors for a tune up.

He said save the money and buy a new one :)

He should try a transmission funnel...

[hometoroost]

I’m so old I remember when he was amusing.

[americas.best.days...]

” ...has had struggles with substances....”

Also known as...likes to get high a lot...

[Huskrrrr]

“I’m Chevy Chase.....and you’re not.” I’m grateful for that.

John Barmon who played Spaulding in Caddyshack said he was the biggest jerk on the set.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

A “tune up”??? If he’s an alcoholic/addict who is drinking and using drugs, he needs more than a “tune up”. I guess his PR team thinks they are fooling some people into thinking his problem isn’t that bad.

[GailA]

What a joke, when real people with real chronic pain health issues can’t even get adequate pain relief with out being treated as a JUNKIE who only needs to scream he needs rehab and gets all the methadone they want.

[Wilderness Conservative]

chase doesnt act, he behaves. His roles reflect his real assness.

[lifeline]

He should be banned from tv and movies until he gets his act together.

[elcid1970]

Heh, heh! Chase has always been a jerk.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah - can trash other people but when it happens to him it’s the little boy syndrome where he throws a pity party. Sorry Chase, no balloons for you.

[bmwcyle]

His fetzer valve stuck.

"I’m so old I remember when he was amusing."

That was one of the better "five minutes" in television history.

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

If SNL was really “cutting and edgy” they’d make a mockery of him falling over and stumbling around like they did Ford.

Carb?
Injectors?
Intake header?

Motor-heads want to know.

Johnny Carson’s famous line about him: “Chevy Chase couldn’t ad lib a fart after a backed bean dinner.”

[ETL]

Never thought he was very funny on SNL. More of a goofball than true comedian. Will Ferrell, who came along years later, I absolutely can’t stand. He’s not the least bit funny, IMO. Simply a jerk.
