Christmas Vacation is the only time he was ever funny. Don't @me.

Those late night shows were so intensely boring and lame. Bunch of vapid celebrities making smalltalk. ... It's such a shame Conan wasted so much of his life doing such.

A failing of The Chevy Chase Show that I think people too lightly touch on is Chase wanting to do Ernie Kovacs-type shit, yet SNL backstage stories have him - for example - suggest a sketch to an openly gay cast member where an AIDS patient weighs himself. It's Chevy Chase pissing Fox's money away at some level, yet it's pretend-likeable Chase when full-on asshole Chase might have yielded a less predictable train wreck.

I like how the two worst parts of this follow one another: the singing egg face bit, which is super creepy and disturbing, and then the Goldie Hawn singing/kissing bit, which is somehow even worse.

There's a full version of this on YouTube with the original audio intact. As some commenters pointed out, there's a part after a commercial break where Chase is walking back to the set, and he can be overheard giving himself this aggressive pep-talk/tear down. "You're gonna do GREAT!" or something like that. It's an enlightening little moment, for sure. The show has been massively overhyped and he already knows it's a flaming train wreck.
