Chevy Chase's Late-Night Flop: A Cautionary Tale
Update: 2026-01-02
Description
In 1993, Chevy Chase attempted a late-night talk show on Fox, but it lasted only six weeks due to harsh criticism and low ratings. The shows failure was attributed to behind-the-scenes conflicts, Chases struggle with stand-up, and his wifes recollection of his post-show depression. This debacle unfolded amidst the late-night wars following Johnny Carsons retirement, with Arsenio Halls show ultimately outlasting Chases. Despite the flop, Chase rebounded with film roles and later starred in the sitcom Community. A new documentary, Im Chevy Chase and Youre Not, explores this failed venture. Checkout Solipillow.com
