Saturday Night Live
Chase was one of the original cast members on Saturday Night Live in 1975. He was the first to anchor the show's Weekend Update segment, creating numerous catch phrase and memorable moments. Despite his success on the show, Chase would leave Saturday Night Live in 1976 due to rivalries with cast member John Belushi and show creator Lorne Michaels. Chase has continued to make occasional cameo appearances on the show and has hosted SNL nine times, most recently in 1997. Chase has admitted to regretting leaving SNL as soon as he did. -
