Overview
- Chase’s heart stopped after arriving at the ER in 2021, and doctors placed him in a medically induced coma for about eight days, according to the film.
- He was hospitalized for roughly five weeks that year, a severity he did not share publicly at the time beyond calling it a heart issue.
- Doctors warned relatives they might not get him back, and Chase and a close friend now attribute his persistent memory gaps to the episode.
- Chase says he is physically fine today, though he needs reminders and worked on cognition by playing cards and chess.
- The documentary also shows him saying it hurt to be left offstage during Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary; the film premieres Jan. 1 on CNN.
