Maybe his career was already in trouble but it seemed like his entire life went into permanent nosedive after he was publicly humiliated over a period of years and ultimately forced to grovel.

He and Howard has a vicious feud in the 90s. I don’t remember the origin of it but Howard would prank call him at home and shit.

They buried the hatchet and Chevy came on the show some years back.

I think Chevy did himself in. He was a notorious prick and that probably finally outweighed his talent, which is considerable. Sad, because the guy was a really funny motherfucker. Great comedic actor.

yeah they got in an actual fistfight right before an ep of SNL started, when chevy came back to host after leaving. they really hated each other. I think they're somewhat cool now.

there's a 180 book written by tom shales of the Washington post about SNL. it's in the oral history/interview format.

I represented a hotel called the Blackstone in Chicago several years ago. bill murray was staying there at the same time I was there doing work (didn't see him unfortunately). the GM put him up in a baller suite, and he said one morning he got into work and had a bunch of drunk dial vms from bill murray from the night before. dude seems chill.

It started when Chevy got caught on a hot mic trashing Howard during a break in an interview. Then Howard called him at home on the air and talked to his Mexican maid. From there it was a years long thing where stuttering John or whoever would fuck with Chevy. Eventually I guess the rest of the public got in on it because Chevy was getting harassed everywhere he went, so he went on Howard's show and tongued his asshole to make it stop.

His performance in the original Vacation is a masterpiece in comedic timing & delivery.

But I don’t think anyone likes the guy IRL.

as he got older, he lost some of his subtlety and became a bit of a caricature of himself, which happens to many comedic actors.

Chevy's roast was notable for having zero of his peers and for how brutal it was, even for roasts that are always brutal. When it was his turn he was stunned and said "wow" or something

funny example of chevy being a dick: in the SNL book I mentioned above, there's an anecdote about him coming back to host in the mid 80s, when lorne wasn't running the show and it really sucked.

there was this flaming queer on the cast named terry sweeny. when everyone was pitching sketch ideas, chevy said "i have a great idea for a sketch. i'll play a doctor, and you're my patient. I diagnose you with AIDS, and each week you come back to see me and you weigh less each time." this was met with crickets.

He's from a wealthy family (adopted grandfather = Cornelius Vanderbilt Crane, father married into Folgers family after divorcing his Mom) who was good looking, went to Riverdale, had absolute pitch and played as a drummer in the precursor to Steely Dan (with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker), wrote for Mad Magazine, got on SNL, did mountains and mountains of cocaine, and became perhaps the biggest comedy movie star of the 80s amongst rich white audiences. Hardly surprising the dude is a completely self-obsessed asshole.
