Biography

Cornelius Crane "Chevy" Chase ( ; born October 8, 1943) is an American comedian, actor, and writer. He became the breakout cast member in the first season of Saturday Night Live (1975–1976), where his recurring Weekend Update segment became a staple of the show. As both a performer and a writer on the series, he earned two Primetime Emmy Awards out of four nominations. After leaving Saturday Night Live early in its second season, Chase established himself as a leading man, starring in some of the most successful comedy films of the 1980s, starting with his Golden Globe-nominated role in the romantic comedy Foul Play (1978). Most famously in the 1980s, he portrayed Ty Webb in Caddyshack (1980), Clark Griswold in five National Lampoon's Vacation films from 1983 to 2015, and Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher in Fletch (1985) and Fletch Lives (1989). He also starred in Seems Like Old Times (1980), Spies Like Us (1985), ¡Three Amigos! (1986), and Funny Farm (1988). He hosted the Academy Awards twice (1987 and 1988). After a string of flops in the 1990s, Chase's career dwindled until he had a popularity resurgence with his role as Pierce Hawthorne on the NBC sitcom Community (2009–2014).
