The new documentary film I’m Chevy Chase, and You’re Not takes a look at the life and career of a comedian who has led a somewhat controversial life and made more than a few enemies in his time. Ultimately, the new film doesn’t attempt to excuse anything that’s happened in Chase's career. The production does, however, perhaps explain some of the reasons behind the star's behavior, as well as some of the conflicting stories he’s providing, including comments involving Terry Sweeney.
One of the more attention-grabbing pieces of the new documentary surrounds Chase’s feud with former Saturday Night Live's Terry Swenney. In his own book, Sweeney described an experience on the show in the 1980s where Chase suggested a hobophobic sketch that would see the openly gay Sweeney play a character diagnosed with AIDS.
