The Chevy Chase Defense

About this episode

The episode discusses the documentary about Chevy Chase's life and career, covering various aspects of his work and celebrity culture.

Being that one of our favorite comic actors has a documentary out on his life and career (I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not), we decided to watch it and discuss in-depth. We touch on events covered in the documentary such as early SNL, The Chevy Chase Show, Community, Nothing But Trouble, and plenty of sidetracked tangents on celebrity ego and feuds.
