Cornelius Crane "Chevy" Chase is an American comedian, actor, and writer. He first rose to prominence as the breakout star during the inaugural season of the sketch comedy show *Saturday Night Live* in 1975–1976. His work on the series, particularly as the anchor of the "Weekend Update" segment, earned him two Primetime Emmy Awards and established him as a major figure in American comedy.
Chase's career expanded into film, where he starred in a series of popular comedies throughout the 1980s, including *Caddyshack*, *Fletch*, and the *National Lampoon's Vacation* series. His signature style of smarmy, self-assured humor made him a bankable movie star and cemented his place in pop culture.
Recently, the name Chevy Chase has appeared in news headlines for a variety of reasons. Some articles have revisited aspects of his career, such as a little-known musical connection from his past and his candid opinions on a film he disliked. Other headlines are unrelated, referring to a community in Maryland named after him, reporting on local high school sports and holiday events in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase area.
