Chevy Chase I would love nothing better than to meet Tiger Woods. I am not a golfer. I played with Bill Clinton a couple of times. At Camp David, I was hitting the ball all over the place in the woods. He has never asked me to play golf since.
Chevy Chase Do you have anything here besides Mexican food?
Chevy Chase A laugh is a surprise. And all humor is physical. I was always athletic, so that came naturally to me.
Chevy Chase I made about 28 movies, and I think about five of them were good.
Chevy Chase This isn't Russia. Is this Russia? This isn't Russia.
Chevy Chase At the height of his career in the late 1980s, Chase earned around $7 million per film and was a highly visible celebrity. He appeared alongside Paul Simon, one of his best friends, in Simon's 1986 second video for "You Can Call Me Al", in which he lip-syncs all of Simon's lyrics. Chase hosted the Academy Awards in 198...7 and 1988, signing on to the proceedings in 1987 with the opener, "Good evening, Hollywood phonies!" Chase filmed a sequel to Vacation, 1985's National Lampoon's European Vacation and then a third, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, in 1989, which, thanks to its holiday theme, has become his most durable film, airing on NBC every December. He played saxophone onstage at Simon's free concert at the Great Lawn in Central Park in the summer of 1991. Later in 1991, he helped record and appeared in the music video "Voices That Care" to entertain and support U.S. troops involved in Operation Desert Storm, and supported the International Red Cross.
