RochesterRob Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) He's lucky he has achieved what he did. I never thought he was as talented as a number of his former SNL co-stars. Every era of SNL has a person or two that is enjoyable for the time but does not translate into the future. For me that would be Joe Piscapo, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, and Will Farrell.

RaoulDuke79 Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Well he is right about SNL.....it's been pretty horrible for a long time. Isn't Glover the black guy that plays a white guy in Atlanta, or come to the Emmy's in white face or something along those lines. 1
Chef Jim Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 I'm getting pretty tired of this racism stuff. If everything becomes racist nothing is. Having said that I was never a big fan of his. 3
Fadingpain Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 SNL has been horrible for its entire existence, with brief interludes of quality from time to time when actual talent entered the cast. The show has benefitted greatly from having zero competition in that time slot on a late Saturday night, which prevented the show form getting axed decades ago. In its defense, good comedy is extremely hard to produce. I think it's the hardest creative writing to do.
row_33 Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 good show to watch at a party, nobody is sober enough to see it was horrible 90% of the time

I don't know about being horrible for its entire existence but it is Buffalo Bills-like in having many poor periods. Probably the best times were the mid-1970's and around 1990. 1
dpberr Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 I never understood what his deal was. No matter how successful the movie or show was, he was always bitching and complaining. Anybody remember the Chevy Chase show? I hope the people who thought that'd be a good idea are still fired.
Rico Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 I thought he was great the first year of SNL, but that was just a mirage. Still, he will always have NL's Vacation & Christmas Vacation.

Gugny Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 I love Chevy Chase. Caddyshack, Vacation movies, Fletch movies, Funny Farm ... love them all. I think he's off base about Will Farrell, who is very funny. His off-color jokes (pun intended) were nothing. It's humor. 3

Like My daughter's high school. They say it is "very diverse." Well, not really. It's anything but diverse. It's just 180° the opposite way when we claim that a place is NOT diverse. With that said, it's still NOT diverse. True diversity is plurality. There is an absolute majority @ Her school. It actually took a very astute 16 year old to pound that simple concept into my dumb liberal skull.

Mark Vader Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 I've never been a Saturday Night Live fan. I remember seeing a few classic clips from some of the episodes, and they were funny. The skit of Star Trek: The Last Voyage of the Enterprise, Dan Aykroyd playing Julia Child in The French Chef skit. Hilarious stuff. As far as Chaevy Chase goes, I thought he was alright as a comedy actor. Everyone loves the "Vacation" movies, but for me I prefer "Foul Play", and "Seems Like Old Times" is an overlooked movie he was in with Goldie Hawn & Charles Grodin.
Marv's Neighbor Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 If they ever do a remake of Grumpy Old Men, he's their man.
Chef Jim Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 I do remember many years ago coming home as an extremely stoned teenager and watched Frank Zappa on SNL with my parents. Weird weird **** that was.
