Chevy Chase

Even though Chevy was only on the show for a few years, he had several skits that he became very famous for. He was the first anchor of Weekend Update and the first to say "goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow!" And, don’t forget how he did "the fall" and opened 24 shows and miraculously only injured himself once! He was also quite good at his Gerald Ford imitation! And then of course there is the infamous land shark....

Mini biography:

Born Cornelius Crane Chase, he changed his name to Chevy Chase, joined the Saturday Night Live crew, and embarked on a highly successful movie career. Chase scored in the eighties with hits such as Caddyshack (1980), the National Lampoon movies and the Fletch movies. All his films show his talent for deadpan comedy. Sadly, his career has generally worsened throughout the nineties, starring in flops such as the wholly mediocre Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992), and Cops and Robbersons (1994)
