Chevy Chase: Awkward interviewee, awkwardest interviewer.

[delboy134]

loves himself,

[dedbusted]

Back when the band was cool!

[Wesson4]

IDK what everyone is complaining about. I love both these guys. there hilarious

[MrArtvandelay99]

chevy chase and David Letterman = bad combination

[djentmadness]

'oh you know... dreamers, johnny boys... the usual stuff'

[damez123]

awful quality

[acdblnd]

Chevy just isn't as funny as you expect/want him to be. Too bad, eh?

[KingDavidANC]

@acdblnd Chevy is *very* funny, and *very* witty. He seemed a bit dry in this video, however you may want to look at some more 80s interviews to see some more of him.

[incrediblehulkmovies]

@acdblnd He use to be funny but I think he threw it all away.  His old *talk show* is every indication of that.

[BoxcarFred]

One other group Chevy failed to mention. At Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, Chevy briefly played drums in a group with two other aspiring musicians. The other two guys? Donald Fagan and Walter Becker who would later form Steely Dan.

[angelxmusic]

Wow. Dave and Paul haven't changed one bit.

[comic93]

He wouldn't get away with the Cosby kids joke today.

[farerse]

hilarious interview

[Snotra]

Sheesh, what a dead audience!

[RyanInLA]

@Snotra chevy has that affect on audiences. a deadening effect.

[FatalToxin]

i love dave! and chevy! :DD

[Qermaq]

Very good musician and comedian. Should have combined them more. Anyone remember his album in I think the 70's where he did a parody of Short People and a few other musical things? I so want a copy.

[grenadianmed]

Check out Community. He often combines them there.

[Psychonaut86]

Einfach super, ich liebe Chevy :)

[ImagesByDavid]

@ujmm

[Koda924]

Chevy Chase <3

[aldrichp]

Cerebral comedy. All improv. Genious

[vprman123]

I'll try to explain Chevy. If you have ever watched Fletch, that is how Chevy is in real life. Very sarcastic but funny.

[tunicanl]

chevy was acting like a douche in this appearnce.

[peaceandmetal88]

What's wrong with Jim Carrey? You can't compare him to Chevy. Jim is a physical comedian.

[HanBOHobbit]

so is Chevy. anyone remember pratfalls?

I'm not saying Jim Carrey is wrong. I love Jim Carrey!! but i'd still rather see Chevy. :D

[Zao911]

wow and they play a hall and oates song after the top 10...classic

[HanBOHobbit]

ZOMG PAUL HAS HAIR!

Thanks for uploading this, and I agree with stevienightheat1, Chevy is a 'smart-comedian.' I honestly don't know how the crap that's popular today ever got to be so. I prefer the Chevy Chase and Martin Short to today's performers. (Jim Carrey isn't all that lame. Then again, did anyone see 'Earth Girls are Easy?' Haha, 'Yes Man' was pretty good, and so was 'Liar Liar.')

[robotpanda77]

how was this guy ever popular?

[stevienightheat1]

Chevy is for people with an IQ of 100 or higher. Go back to Jim Carry little boy

Chevy is for real comedy fans

[robotpanda77]

Was that why his talk show was canceled? Because people were too dumb appreciate it? Besides, if you look at his off screen life, fighting with other SNL cast members and the like, he doesn't sound like a very nice guy for a comedian. But thats neither here nor there, don't defend his poor performance here just because you like him. If I was a fan I would accept him for what he is, and not try to paint him as something better then that.

[dormanbenton]

He doesn't sound like a very nice guy. That is so true any way you cut it, but he sure is funny and has some great movies under his belt. His talk show was canceled because it was pure garbage...it probably would have been better if he were fresh off SNL. Just watch the pilot episode here on youtube. Point proven! I remember seeing it when it were first aired.

[hunyghan]

In boxing they would call that a feeling out round.

[OnTheRunSinceBirth]

good call.

[TVN1956]

Tnx for the upload!
