Chasing Chevy Chase
· Season 1 · Episode 26 · Latest episodeEpisode 26: I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not (2025)
All good things must come to an end — and so, at last, must the chase. Mike White and Chris Stachiw close out the Chasing Chevy Chase Podcast with special guest Rod Lott (Flick Attack, Bookgasm) joining them to tackle the inevitable: I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not, Marina Zenovich's unflinching documentary which is something more unsettling than a hit piece.
Chase himself sits for interviews, offering the kind of casual, self-sabotaging candor that has defined his public persona for decades. Long-time friends and collaborators including Dan Aykroyd, Goldie Hawn, Beverly D'Angelo, Martin Short, Lorne Michaels, and Ryan Reynolds weigh in. So does Community director Jay Chandrasekhar — notably one of the only people from that production willing to participate, with Dan Harmon and others taking a hard pass.
The documentary doesn't shy away from the wreckage: the SNL exit Chase himself now calls a mistake, his notorious feuds, the Community firing, and a cringe-inducing on-camera exchange about SNL castmate Terry Sweeney that speaks volumes. Yet, glimpses of an 82-year-old Chase at home in Bedford and doing his annual Christmas Vacation Q&As reveal something more human lurking beneath the legend — and the liability.
The podcast may be ending, but Chevy Chase, for better or worse, is forever.
