Editing Chevy Chase (section)

=== Fight with Bill Murray ===
While filming an episode of ''Saturday Night Live'' in 1978, Chase got into a fistfight with [[Bill Murray]] in [[John Belushi]]'s dressing room. Murray and Chase's backstage brawl took place when Chase returned to host the show after his exit as a full-time cast member in 1976. Murray had reportedly made a derogatory comment about Chase's troubled marriage to Jacqueline Carlin, leading Chase to criticize Murray's physical appearance. The fight was witnessed by cast members [[Jane Curtin]], [[Laraine Newman]], and [[Gilda Radner]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2002/09/snl200209 | title=It's Saturday Night! | website=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]] | date=June 4, 2008 | access-date=June 20, 2024 | archive-date=November 8, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108122914/https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2002/09/snl200209 | url-status=live }}</ref>

In a talk show appearance in 2021, Newman noted of the altercation, "it was very sad and painful and awful". She went on to say, "I think they both knew the one thing that they could say to one another that would hurt the most and that's what I think incited it." Chase and Murray would later reconcile to star together in ''[[Caddyshack]]'' in 1980.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/bill-murray-chevy-chase-backstage-fight-saturday-night-live-painful |title=Bill Murray and Chevy Chase's backstage fight at 'SNL' was 'painful' to watch, show alums say |website=Fox News |date=June 18, 2021 |access-date=June 18, 2021 |first=Melissa |last=Roberto |archive-date=June 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210618141119/https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/bill-murray-chevy-chase-backstage-fight-saturday-night-live-painful |url-status=live }}</ref>
