"With cocaine you feel like a new man after doing a couple of lines, the problem is that after a few minutes the new man wants to do a couple of lines!" - George Carlin
@@ashleyonix4622 When you snort some coke it gives you a really enjoyable high but it wears down rather quickly, so you do some more to regain that initial high. This process continues until the coke runs out. George Carlin described this in a clever way by saying that coke made you feel like a new man and that after a short while, that "new man" wants more coke.
@@ashleyonix4622 You should know that as enjoyable as it can be, cocaine is an insidious drug. Certainly, not everyone who uses it develops a problem but it can take over the users life and turn them into someone unrecognizable to their former self.
Vacation movies were good I love them. Problem is Beverly DeAngelo cant stand him so that will never happen again. The guy is a fucking asshole a lot of people say. They turn down a lot of money because they wont work with him
@@piranhaattack4836 I've read that they got along on Caddyshack, and actually reconciled quite a bit b/c they did get into a fight at snl (Bill arrived in season 2, Chevy may have been hosting or doing some stuff with them, but they were goaded into a fight).
I think Chevy Chase would have made a great Han Solo. That role belongs to Harrison Ford now, of course, but I think Chevy Chase would have had it in him too.
Naa-ah, it's misleading, in that his voice is similar to Harrison Ford's; Chevy as Han Solo would trip over his feet at a bad time, and get killed by a stormtrooper, and the Empire would crush the Rebellion.
@@Rhythmicons I always thought his anger and rage on screen was acting, but now I see that guy just acts like himself. If only we could all be so lucky.
Well he was abused as a child by his mother and stepfather. The bitch would lock him in the closet for hours. So yeah he would have those issues, Chevy can be mean when he wants to be. Sometimes he has been nasty to people. Still like him though.
I almost forgot how funny Chevy was back then. I think I've read too many SNL stories and listened to Stern bashing him so much in the 90s......He's very deft and quick in this interview. Have to remind myself that he was hired on SNL as a WRITER at first, not as a performer. An interview like this shows why.
You can see how much happier Chevy was before the electrocution incident that would happen four years after this. It's been a rough ride for him, but I'm really happy to hear that lately he's conquered his PTSD and addiction problem and is willing to act again. The man is a comedic legend!
@@stephenproulx175 I think he's referring to the movie "modern problems." Chase got electrocuted during a bit where he dreamed he was a plane. You just gotta see it.
A dangerous question where the wrong answer could get your or a friend's house raided by the DEA. And coke use was kinda-sorta taboo to talk about even in the pre-"Just Say No" 70's.
When I watch those clips of the Dick Cavett show, from a time I haven't experienced, and compare it with Fallon or Kimmel, it kinda makes me kinda sad.
10MM not even close. David Cavett mirrors Bundy with his looks but also his voice. It’s eerie how much they actually sound alike when you close your eyes
No he wasn’t He was a complete ass and a bulldozer had more personality than he did I’m not sure how he got a show but I know it wasn’t because he was cool unless you are talking about like how a librarian would think he was cool
Did Deapool accidentally inspire Chevy while he was fixing the time stream??? It makes perfect sense!!! N, by Deapool, I mean Ryan Reynolds, as one is same.
Can‘t wait to see Christmas Vacation this year! Like all the years before. He made himself immortal with this movie! Like Macaulay with Home Alone. It‘s a part of my Christmas and of millions of other people around the world, too. Even for that you can call him „legendary“!
Lotta people don't know that Chevy Chase was the drummer for Steely Dan back in college, before they were called Steely Dan. They all went to Bard College together and none of them want to go back to Annandale.
I never understood his fame as an actor. Caddyshack sucked and national lampoon movies were marginally interesting. Bill Murray's fame however makes sense
Chevy had just turned 35 when aired. It's weird seeing him younger than I am now. He doesn't really seem wired here, but he did LOTS of cocaine, especially during his SNL days.
I can't take anything he says seriously. He's that type of relative that's never serious, so when your not sure sometimes if he's joking, you have to ask if he's serious.
3:02 - If you didn't already know, the other guy was Bill Murray. With some encouragement by Belushi, Chase and Murray eventually got into an infamous fist fight backstage that night in February 1978.
@@Steve-uv9kb I'd further add to your great comment that unlike Chevy, we as a "Me Generation" have no talent to back it up, which makes it even worst.
@@struttingbirdlofi ha ha! True. I do think there is still wonderful talent all around, but I also think social media in general, and definitely as a tool artists of all kinds kind use a self promotion, has also brought us Kardashians and Hiltons etc. Everyone basically has their own personal "network" - multiple networks really - to display their talent, or lack of talent, to us all. It's now the "Me Generation" on designer and digital speed really
@Dan Maler If you’re going to berate my improper use of grammar, you best not misquote me whilst doing so “is even worst?” I said “it even worst” smart guy you must be. Lol
"So, these parties....did a lot of cocaine at 'em, Chevy?" "Me, no. Not done coke even once. You misunderstand. People had to snort half a pound just to tolerate me for an hour at these get-togethers.".
Chevy at this time was so dangerous. He was in demand. And he was the sharpest cat out there. When it came down to it he could light up all of comedy's best. Pryor couldn't touch him. Only rodney dangerfield could top chevy in this era

@@piranhaattack4836 everyone hated him back in the 80s but he was a cashcow.

all those old school SNL guys were tough guys. Apparently Dan Akroyd used to get in a LOT of bar fights. Belushi too.
@@lunchbag_larry I can imagine Belushi getting into barfights but Akroyd seems like too nice a guy.

All that Charisma and Machismo is a direct symptom of the Cocaine.

Yeah, when you mentioned this. He seems like the mix between Harrison Ford and Jar Jar Binks here :)
I just pictured it in my mind....
And yes. You are quite astute. Good observation.
Heard Burt Reynolds was up for the part of Han Solo!
Chevy chase was that dude as a kid growing up in the 80's and 90's. He was a rebel and a savage and funny.
This guy has a very intense layer of rage beneath him.
I bet it's not so difficult to let loose too.

Chevy Chase and Gene Wilder are masters of timing and delivery. Even when he did get serious he was still funny AF.

Have to remind myself that he was hired on SNL as a WRITER at first, not as a performer. An interview like this shows why.
My god, I’m watching community now and I cannot get over how beautiful this man was when he was younger.

@@stephenproulx175

Chase got electrocuted during a bit where he dreamed he was a plane.
You just gotta see it.
I got electrocuted once. It was a little perturbing. Of course I think the donkey was more traumatized.
I wonder why Chevy didn't want to talk about his cocaine use on national TV?
What did he really expect with those questions????
Back when it was real journalism
Nick Ford 😂😂😂 such a standard comment on clips pre-nineties when in reality this guy is asking terrrrrrrrible questions
Again Cavet as Twat comander
A dangerous question where the wrong answer could get your or a friend's house raided by the DEA. And coke use was kinda-sorta taboo to talk about even in the pre-"Just Say No" 70's.
Now I realize why chevy is the way he is..... He still hasn't changed with the times
Sometimes that's good sometimes it's bad
I think he's on it in this interview!
Probably why cavett grilled him
I like how at 0.10 seconds he checks his nose for any cocaine residue right before he starts talking about it.
Lmao
I can see why people don’t like Chevy but to me he was one of the funniest guys from SNL. I think it was that same attitude that made him funny.
Bill Cosby was funny too.
Still is. Both of them. @@ThePdog3k
"I taped a couple of shows on cocaine..." had me confused for a second
Flex Coke
Said every Hollywood actor in the time
@ 2:16 - “I can talk about that. Here?” Hahaha!!
Chevy spoke only in jokes during the entire interview. I think most went right over the audiences' heads.
Pop you taught me everything I know about exterior illumination.
It's amazing how cocaine was so mainstream at one point you could casually talk about using it on chat shows
What a strange episode of "between two ferns"
*slow clap
Haha
That was 10 times better than what I was failing to say below in the comments...exactly spot on
Between Bruce Derns
😂
Lol, Chevy was a good looking guy. You can tell he knew it too.
I bet he was banging all the fine women back then.
@@tommyegan3940 Yep!
Tommy Egan Yeah.. Like Eartha Kitt..
@Hellzyead Chevy would have laughed at that
Now he looks like a balloon with glasses
Chevy Chase's comedy is so natural. I see many modern comedians STRUGGLING to be funny...it's pathetic.
You should watch archives of his late night talk show.
Damn this feels more like a podcast compared to the talk shows today
This is like the only actor that seems like he has more personally going on then his characters
When I watch those clips of the Dick Cavett show, from a time I haven't experienced, and compare it with Fallon or Kimmel, it kinda makes me kinda sad.
I kinda see what you're kinda saying.
Now that you said it, it kinda makes me kinda sad too....kinda
Yeah, our whole culture is crap
Yep.. it’s all 100% scripted now.
@@CringeComedyTV Well... that kinda makes me happy to learn that at least a few persons are kinda agreeing with me.

Why did you do dick like that. 😭
Good call!
Dick was cool, better than anyone's show today
No he wasn’t
He was a complete ass and a bulldozer had more personality than he did
I’m not sure how he got a show but I know it wasn’t because he was cool unless you are talking about like how a librarian would think he was cool
This is why I come down into the comments. A fight about whether Dick Cavett was cool. Carry on, boys.
Chevy Chase has always been his biggest fan...
Does Chevy get royalties from Ryan Reynolds for stealing his charisma.
Did Deapool accidentally inspire Chevy while he was fixing the time stream??? It makes perfect sense!!!
N, by Deapool, I mean Ryan Reynolds, as one is same.
Wow... Can't believe I never made this connection
I was wondering who he was reminding me of you f****** nailed it
Well Chevy is a dirtbag and Ryan isnt so I'mma go with no
Magnus Fullauto you don’t seriously think Reynolds based his whole shtick (aka his personality) on some old Chevy Chase movies lmaooo
They would NEVER talk like this on tv, day or night these days.
No guts 2day however coke is real well known and you can be blacklisted or made to be a hard case
Have you watched television lately?
Maybe on Family Guy lol
Lmao all tv shows still go like this
“How did you lose your hearing?”
“It was right at 3:37 into a Chevy Chase Interview”

This guy was big at one time, people today have no idea.I remember seeing Modern Problems when I was little, also Seems like Old Times.
Paul Orlando ..he looks older than 100 today
Why does he look like Jim Morrison to me in the beginning? Anyone else?
Yah. If he was on acid, 100%, but he does look like a thinner Jim.
He seriously does!

Lol Afrin no drip spray was literally the RUclips commercial for this before it played
He was referencing the fight with Bill Murray right before the show he hosted was about to start.
I'd say the man always took himself too seriously for someone in comedy, and the thousand nasty stories about Chevy are probably all true.

Lol that type of delivery and speech is so captivating
Language Arial speak freely
Chevy asked John Belushi for coke and Belushi said "No Coke, Pepsi"
oh that’s what that’s from
He is "Fletch" in this interview. It's all improv! Love the guy!
He really only ever had one character -- himself. He was good at it, but it got old, in more ways than one.
