Direction for Mr.Chase: Sit down. Shut up.
Posted on 09/16/2008 11:56:40 AM PDT by BornToBeAmerican
Chevy Chase said Monday he wants Tina Fey to go "even harder" on Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin than she did in her "Saturday Night Live" skit this past weekend ... and that he wants Fey to "decimate" her.
"I thought it was extraordinary how well she played her and much she looked like her. I'd just like her — personally I felt we didn't need the Hillary stuff — I'd like her to go even harder," the former "SNL" star told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show.
"I want her to decimate this woman. This woman is, I can't believe there hasn't been more about it. ... It's just unbelievable to me this woman is actually running for vice president," he continued.

..maybe, but I think Harding was funnier.
That's not the issue. The isue is -- why does it make any difference to anybody wht the washed up moron has to say?
Snorted coffe on my keyboard. Poor ole Chevy. He still thinks someone gives a d#$%n what he thinks. So sad.
Actually, Chevy's parents were wealthy Manhattanites and his first name is actually Cornelius.
That being said, Chase' career has been flowing down the sewer for a decade or so.
Or they decimated their own legions if they continually broke in battle.

Did you see him play Mel Gibson on Law and Order? Talk about vile...this man hates christians and republicans. I believe Chase is a big fan of communism as well...I remember reading in a bio 5 or 6 yrs ago...plus he had a huge heroin problem in the 70s.
I love the Vacation, Fletch, and Caddyshack movies...but that is all she wrote. Christmas Vacation was the last good movie he did and that was in 1989...20 yrs Chevy...20 yrs.
Nah, that was Coolidge.
Sorry Chevy, Tina's not dumb.
The hay day of Chevy ended around 1992 with Memoirs of an Invisible Man. Other than Vegas Vacation in 1997...everything else was a bare minimum profit situation...and I’d doubt that he cleared more than $400k for his pay check (toss out 25% for taxes and another 25% for the agent and PR guy), so the guy barely went home with $200k.
Since 2000...there isn’t anything to brag about and he has to be getting paid at a low-scale. I’m surprised that any news organization even cared to interview the guy...you could have gotten the same result with some 1974 third baseman from the Kansas City Royals. Did they offer free coffee and donuts in the green room while he was waiting?
Gerald Ford
I saw him recently, maybe it was the at the Dem convention, the look on his face as Obama was speaking, I thought he was going to cry...or faint. Freak.
Chevy is correct. SNL does need to hit Palin harder. I hope they go completely over the top with it.
Keep up the good work, Chevy. I just added you to my list.

Yep. I remember when SNL was doing its Reagan skits, making him all bumbling and forgetful. But they couldn't make him unlikeable. They had to keep that or lose the entire premise of what an impersonation was supposed to be. Consequently, the skits never hurt Reagan. Every time they thought they were skewering him, it only endeared him to a wider populace.
Same thing with Palin. The problem Tina Fey would have in complying with Chevy Chase's urgings to "decimate" Palin is this: she can't "do" Palin with such spot-on accuracy and make her unlikeable at the same time. Yeah, they could go for the liberal agenda and have the Palin character coming across corrupt or evil or mean or dangerously stupid, but they'd lose what made the impersonation so great in the first place: authenticity. Without that, it's not Palin, and the SNL crew would be the only ones to suffer for the grotesque distortion. Either way, Palin wins.
According to Johnny Carson, “Chevy Chase couldn’t improvise a fart”.
Much like Obama, Chase does his best when the work is already written for him. His improvisation is completely awful. When someone is genuine, their ‘act’ is not an act. In both Obama’s speechifying and Chase’s comedy, the fraud is readily apparent.
Yes.
I understand that was a REAL morale-booster for “the troops”.
