Chevy Chase is awesome. In todays' world of PC SJW bullshittery, he will not change. He is himself, unashamedly, and that's why i respect the man.
He called him 'a putz', distinct dialect use there.
Standard SJW name calling for anyone they dislike.
I doubt he's a great guy myself, but some people should just keep their mouth's shut. I think the big guys at SNL can handle themselves. And Chase is right, SNL went down the tubes ages ago.
I have heard Chevy Chase is an asshole before. There's some psycho stories about him floating around. Never heard he was a racist though. I'm guessing that's just name calling.
