As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must confess that I was quite intrigued by the latest cinematic offering, “Saturday Night,” directed by Jason Reitman. Having grown up in the era of Saturday Night Live (SNL), I can attest to the profound impact this groundbreaking sketch comedy show had on my youth and the cultural zeitgeist.
Upon learning about Chevy Chase’s less-than-impressed reaction to the film, I found myself reflecting on my own experiences with the enigmatic comedian. Much like Reitman, I too have attempted to emulate the eccentricities of beloved figures in pop culture through various video games and role-playing scenarios. Yet, it seems that the elusive charm and authenticity we seek often remain tantalizingly out of reach.
In a way, I can relate to Reitman’s predicament. As much as I strive to capture the essence of these icons, there is always a disconnect between my interpretation and their true selves. However, I must admit that I found Chevy Chase’s reaction amusing, albeit a bit harsh. Perhaps he was just channeling his inner grump from “Christmas Vacation” in that moment!
In the end, I can only hope that Saturday Night finds its audience and continues to inspire future generations of comedians, gamers, and pop culture enthusiasts alike. As for me, I’ll continue my quest to master the art of emulation, one pixelated character at a time. And who knows? Maybe someday I’ll strike comedy gold and earn the grudging respect of a legend like Chevy Chase!
Now, if only I could find a game where I can play as John Belushi in the SNL premiere… that would be a real laugh riot!
Chevy Chase seemingly wasn’t very impressed with Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night.
In October 2024, Sony Pictures Releasing debuted the movie “Saturday Night” in American cinemas. This film, directed by Reitman, focuses on the first broadcast of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, which was known back then as Saturday Night.
In the movie, Cory Michael Smith portrays Chase, while the ensemble features Gabriel LaBelle acting as Lorne Michaels, Rachel Sennott in the role of Rosie Shuster, Dylan O’Brien playing Dan Aykroyd, Matt Wood as John Belushi, Ella Hunt depicting Gilda Radner, Emily Fairn representing Laraine Newman, Nicholas Braun and Jim Henson taking on various characters, Nicholas Podany portraying Billy Crystal, Cooper Hoffman acting as Dick Ebersol, and a host of other talented individuals.
What did Chevy Chase say to Jason Reitman about Saturday Night?
In an episode of the Fly on the Wall podcast, as reported by Variety, Reitman shared that Chase’s initial response came after seeing Saturday Night for the first time.
In other words, Chevy arrived to see the movie, accompanied by his wife Jayni. They watched together, and later, he was part of the crowd. Afterward, he approached me and tapped my shoulder, saying, ‘You really ought to feel ashamed.’
As a gamer, I’m juggling things, you know? On one hand, I’ve got this golden opportunity for my own Chevy Chase moment – pure comedy gold! But on the other, I’ve invested two years of my life in recreating and perfecting it. Plus, I want to show his humanity, make him lovable. However, none of that matters because he’s not interested in discussing it. He’s focusing on something else entirely.
I’m thrilled to share that you can now rent or buy Saturday Night on various streaming platforms like Apple TV and Fandango at Home, among others. Don’t miss out!
