Chevy Chase took his Comedy Central roasting very personally: "They clearly didn't like me"

I have a certain “affection” for Chevy that has faded over the years. I was the right age when he had a run of successful movies which were mainstays on TV and at the video store and, to some extent, I identify with his being thin-skinned when it comes to being pushed at by other people.

But I also strive to be a professional in every aspect of my career. If I worked with someone I didn’t care for, I would just be as professional and as friendly as possible. I would not try to brute force insult my way through insults, mf-ing my coworkers into caving to my demands, or just generically being unpleasant.

I can’t imagine exiting the back end of so many movies and TV projects where people think I am the scum of the earth and think, “I’m not the problem, it is those a-holes for not being able to get the joke.”
