Howard Stern: _"I heard you were there when Bill Murray and Chevy Chase fought. Tell us all about it."_ Billy Joel: _"They fought."_ *The End*

[@SniffHeinkel]

Pretty much.

[@czos9239]

If it's more than two words, it'll be a song.

[@williambolton4698]

"Wait a minute, you were there? Tell us what happened?" "Well they had a fight." Thanks for that thrilling detailed explanation Billy.

[@kooale]

More quality (not) from Stern show!

[@mightymommom5888]

I expect nothing less or more from Billy Joel. He’s so chill.

[@nibrasge6375]

If only he wrote a song about it😂

[@TTM9691]

My favorite part of the story is ".....and Jane Curtin going around muttering 'Goddamit, f**k him..." 🤣 That's the kind of detail that puts me ringside, lol.

[@lat1502]

Lorne Michaels was interviewed on David Spade's podcast. David asked him about the fight. Lorne was 'Diplomatic' and referred to it as (his exact words) "There was a skirmish". That's pretty much all he would say.

[@diamonddave16]

Lorne is a snake

[@jamesrawlins735]

A fight where I wouldn't have minded if they knocked each other out. While Murray isn't as abrasive as Chevy, there are plenty of stories about how big a pain in the butt he is as well.

[@tonysobina8390]

They were great in Caddyshack

[@Hoaxer51]

I don’t think they were ever in the same scenes together, or they weren’t filmed together is what I’ve read.

[@eugenerabinovich1115]

Yes they were. They were drinking and smoking weed together in one of the scenes. But I think they squashed their beef at that point.

Bill was great in the first Ghostbusters but Chevy was king of white comedy 1983-88, no contest. Vacation, Fletch, etc.

[@rustybear5125]

Had the five good years and that's it. That's not a king.

[@bubufubu]

@@rustybear5125 It was closer to _ten_ years (in terms of quality films) and they weren't just good. They were great. Chevy was quite big for a long while. On star power, alone, his name was still in demand after his prime.

What about Bob is a good movie. They're both different and can't compare them because they do different movies. Both are hired with the best fit for the role otherwise one would be tossed in the trashcan. Can you picture Chevy doing Stripes movie??? How about What about Bob???

Chevy and Bill are both very funny. People sometimes get into fights, it even happens between friends, big deal.

[@AldousHuxleysCat]

Chevy Chase isn't even mildly amusing. If you want any proof of this go watch his very quickly failed talk show. I think it may have been the shortest run talk show in the history of syndication

[@MyPromixdirt]

chevy is as funny as the writers writing allows him to be, his interpretation is the funny part

[@party4keeps28]

Thats the story?!?

[@tinderbox218]

Epic story bro

[@manhalen7046]

So, Chevy was a class-a d-bag and Bill Murray was a huge bully and just as ornery as Chase. So this is all ironic.

[@rustybear5125]

Exactly!

[@markdepeppo7520]

Chevy Chase was only on SNL for the first season and left to make movies. Bill Murray replaced Chevy in season 2. When it came time for Chevy Chase to guest host, most of the cast thought he was out of control and pretty fully of himself. John Belushi got Bill Murray all pumped up to do something about it, and the rest is history. I doubt Billy Joel saw anything, although he was in fact, the musical guest.

[@dmlevitt]

you are the one to ask if Billy Joel saw anything. thanks for your backstage insights mark.

[@markdepeppo7520]

@dmlevitt Legend has it, that it all occurred in Belushi's dressing room. Everyone else heard the commotion and were slow to break it up.

Chevy described it going down in the doorway of Belushi's dressing room. Joel seems to be adding that it went on after that, and sort of didn't stop all night. That's what I got from this. I wish you would clarify.
