Chevy Chase Critiques Jason Reitman's SNL Film

Director Jason Reitman recently shared Chevy Chase's harsh feedback on his film 'Saturday Night,' which portrays the creation of the first 'Saturday Night Live' episode. After an early screening, Chase, known for his blunt humor, told Reitman, 'Well, you should be embarrassed,' a comment that elicited laughter from the podcast hosts Dana Carvey and David Spade. Reitman reflected on the challenge of capturing Chase's complex personality, noting that despite spending two years on the film, Chase's feedback focused solely on his discomfort with being portrayed on screen. While some cast members praised the movie, Reitman acknowledged the emotional difficulty original cast members face when seeing their own representations. Chase's reputation for being difficult to work with has been further highlighted by past experiences shared by other filmmakers, including Chris Columbus. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges of depicting iconic figures in biographical films.
