Chevy Chase: "Hosting a talk show, This is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy! "_____________________________________
Remember the Chevy Chase Show?
(Note: I like Chevy Chase, I really do.)
While reading another great Cracked.com post, (The Curse of the Fake News Anchor) I remember watching the Chevy Chase Talk Show, and boy it was bad.
The only thing that was remotely funny was the Wax Museum bit. I still get a kick out of it.
So what was wrong with The Chevy Chase Show?
1 Was on FOX, so it was doomed to suck.
2 Chevy Chase was better at doing bits than interviewing people.
3 They had a basketball court on the set where he would shot ball during the show.
The show was cancelled soon after everyone realized the show sucked.
There was something good to come out of this mess; a very funny pair of Doritos commercials starring Chevy Chase.
Here’s the first one from 1993
Comment: Pretty funny wasn’t it? Note the outline of the old woman in the soft concrete.
Well, after The Chevy Chase show was cancelled, Doritos and Chase decided to poke fun at his cancellation with this follow up commercial that’s even funnier.
Comment: Yep, he was cancelled out of a commercial. “How do you get cancelled out of a commercial?” BTW, yeah that’s Paul Ben-Victor playing the executive.
Hey, Mr. Chase, don’t worry Magic Johnson made a talk show that was even worst, but not by much.
