Actor’s uncanny resemblance to the comedy star he’s playing

“I’m Chevy Chase… and you’re not.”

It was the catchphrase that became synonymous with the Weekend Update desk.

Chevy Chase was the original anchor for the ongoing saturday night live segment, which has since seen a slew of hosts including Norm MacDonald, Amy Poehler, Seth Meyers and Colin Jost.

Despite his many controversies following his time on snlChase was a defining player in the show’s creation.

Weekend Update is one of the longest-running segments in television.

In 1975, New York magazine ran a cover dubbing Chase “the funniest man in America, and in 2015, Rolling Stone referred to him as possible “the most under-rated snl player,” adding, “It took him only one season to define the franchise.”

However, Chase has had his fair share of controversies over the years, including a physical fight with fellow snl cast member Bill Murray, and later being fired from the TV Community for using a racist slur toward Donald Glover.
