Featured review
This roast is infamous for only being aired once due to the mean spirited nature of the jokes and clear discomfort of Chevy Chase. His previous roast had gone well, but this one was filled with people he didn't know, which lead to the jokes being more mean and personal. Apparently it caught him so off guard that he was sent into a depression after.
You do get some second hand embarrassment watching this but overall it's quite entertaining with some funny roasts. There are some awful segments though like Lisa Lampanelli who I had to skip through because it was so bad. While Chevy is known to have a bad reputation and some might say he deserved this, there are some "jokes" that go too far such as blatantly making fun of his drug problems in a distasteful manner. But it's worth watching as an entertaining piece of lost media and there are some hilarious parts, you can find it by searching on Reddit and Internet Archive.

- TriviaAccording to Chevy Chase, he was truly shocked and hurt by the comments directed at him in the roast. Chase knew he had burned some bridges over the years, especially among his former SNL co-stars, but was unaware just how much his peers had come to despise him as a result of his past behavior. As soon as the roast was over, Chase went straight to his hotel room and sobbed the entire night, sinking into a depression while Paul Shaffer comforted him.
