Chase seen in “Christmas Vacation “
SNL’s OG Alumn, Chevy Chase, was hospitalized for about 5 weeks, recently, for some type of heart problem. The man best known for falling down doesn’t elude to more than that on his condition, but he says he’s doing alright at home now.
“These are my first few days home. I can only say how happy I am to now be back with my family. I’m feeling good,” he told me. “I was in the hospital five weeks. A heart issue. So, for now, I’m around the house. Not going anywhere.”
The onetime self-styled physical comic, now 77, says: “I used to go out and do anything. I’d do slapstick in front of 3,000 people. But at this moment I have no need to go out and meet COVID.
“I read. Turn on TV. Watch the news. All drek. I see actors, comedians, producers, screenwriters working and, God bless them, but I don’t see anything great on television. It all became a generation of s–theads laughing at the world. The humor today’s giving the next generation worse stuff than they already have in their own lives. It drives me nuts.”
I get it.
