no, it's just that his delivery stunk. He wrote the material (which actually wasn't so bad) but he failed to deliver. Because it was his own show and nobody was kicking his ass and telling him to rehearse this stuff.
So, I just wanna know _what happened._ Chase was notably funny, affable, totally at ease on Saturday Night Live. And here he's a stuttering buffoon. Shuffling his papers and awkwardly shuffling his papers some more. WHAT THE HELL, MAN? WHAT WERE YOU _THINKING???_
Happy NEWS 2022 Year ! In two weeks starts - The Winter Olympics at China ! Lets see If there is any Miracle on Ice - this Time ? As NHL IS Not Sending any Players there - so The Team USA is MOSTLY - from any Other Michigan / Minnesota / Massachusetts League ! Lets se If The FINAL game IS on LIVE TV - Thanks to Lake Placid 1980 !
No, for three reasons. First, Smigel has never been credited with working for the Chevy Chase Show. Second and most obviously, Chevy was based out of LA while Conan was in New York, so Smigel would never have had the time to be the head writer of Late Night while also having time to fly to LA to write for Chevy at the same time. Third, it would be impossible to have contracts with two competing networks at the same time.
this was funny in 1975 in 1993 it was just plain stupid and not original! chevy was a huge waste of talent who thought he was the best thing on tv ever. OVERRATED!
The viewers for this clip of the Chevy Chase Show are higher than the actual show!
tron3entertainment How'd you know?
3:26, always had me laughing so hard I would be in tears!
He's still better than Jimmy Fallon
Jesus, he stumbled through these. It's like he'd never done it before.
Really? What were YOU watching?
It was 1993 and Chevy was unfortunately still stuck in 1975.

So SNL’s history of unfunny, awkward, cringe worthy, uncomfortable, amateurish bits goes way back.
That’s a pretty low bar.
Rehearse much??? You’re a professional?
Is That Louis C K at 3:58?
+alphadogstudio Robert Smigel
Michael Wood Ahh! Of course. seems obvious now. Thanks!
Looks a bit like Smigel, but it isn't. He was head writer for Conan's show at that point.
Both shows debuted in 1993 but there was only around 24 episode of Chevy's show so he could have done both maybe?

Apparently Chase didn’t ever rehearse his unfunny lines.
I never could understand why people thought this jerk was funny.
