Before SNL was what it is today, it had a pretty iconic cast and was known for having some of the best comedy television has seen. One of the men responsible for all the laughs was Chevy Chase. Unfortunately, like many older actors, Chevy has found his place in the category of angry racists. There was a time that he was known as the guy who fell a lot. Falling and getting hurt used to be what made Chevy Chase himself on the set of SNL. The unfortunate part is that Chevy actually did feel pain while shooting these scenes, so in an attempt to make it easier to fall and get hit, he started taking painkillers. Unfortunately, he soon found himself an addict and couldn’t make it through a set without popping a pain pill. He has since been to rehab and recovered, but it’s a reminder of the darkness that lies behind some of our most comedic memories.
