- TriviaAccording to Chevy Chase, he was truly shocked and hurt by the comments directed at him in the roast. Chase knew he had burned some bridges over the years, especially among his former SNL co-stars, but was unaware just how much his peers had come to despise him as a result of his past behavior. As soon as the roast was over, Chase went straight to his hotel room and sobbed the entire night, sinking into a depression while Paul Shaffer comforted him.

Paul Shaffer: You made us laugh so much. And then inexplicably stopped in about 1978.

Featured review
Chevy has the reputation of being hard to work with in the industry. This roast was a reflection of how they felt about him.
The line up was less than stellar. No one of any importance agreed to come. Well except Al Franken, Lorraine Newman and Steven Colbert.
After all the fun Chevy said two jokes and ran. He obviously didn't want to be there. So i wonder how he was roped into being the Roastee?
Watch it to watch Chevy squirm. The elephant IS in the room and no one is paying attention.
To sum up. Careful how you treat people on the way up to stardom, because you'll meet them on the way down.
