Overview
- CNN will premiere I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not on Jan. 1, directed by Marina Zenovich and produced with Chase’s cooperation, with early reviews describing a probing, not celebratory, film.
- The documentary revisits Terry Sweeney’s account of a 1985 SNL AIDS joke; Chase denies the allegation on camera, while Sweeney publicly rebukes him and calls his comments revealing.
- Yvette Nicole Brown posted that others should stop speaking for her about a Community incident, reinforcing that she has not discussed the matter publicly and does not plan to do so.
- Community director Jay Chandrasekhar recounts an alleged on‑set slur and fallout tied to Chase, while most Community cast members declined on‑camera participation and Chase does not address the allegation in the film.
- The film foregrounds Chase’s abusive childhood and a 2021 heart‑failure episode linked to memory gaps, even as Zenovich says interviewing him was unusually difficult due to his rudeness.
