Some of the earliest allegations of bad on-set behavior from Chevy Chase come from his time on “Saturday Night Live,” and stories about his behavior have continued every time he’s appeared on the show. Pete Davidson, for instance, once said on Howard Stern (via People), “He’s a f***ing d*****bag. F*** Chevy Chase. He’s just a genuinely bad, racist person and I don’t like him. He’s a putz.”
If this seems harsh, well, there’s a reason Chase is one of only a few people who are banned from ever hosting “SNL” again. Will Ferrell said in “Live From New York” (via Cracked) that you’d find a “consensus” on how Chase is viewed in the industry. Ferrell even recalled a time Chase made an inappropriate sexual overture to a female writer that left “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels “embarrassed and red.” “In hindsight, I wish we’d all gotten up and walked out of the room.” The “Step Brothers” actor also said that Chase was prone to screaming at people in the hallways and trying to play it off as a joke.
