Chase didn’t have much to say about the current state of the show beyond that, but his statements appeared to indicate he’s watched at least the opening of the show in recent years.
Former Saturday Night Live cast member Norm Macdonald seemed to agree with Chevy Chase about the current generation botching that particular line delivery, and added that he always preferred Chase’s announcements over the people who basically scream the SNL line.
So maybe now they’ll invite him back on to show these youngsters how to do the thing.
Chase is said to be banned from ever hosting SNL again, due to several heated incidents in the show’s past, but has made a few guest appearances in recent years.
