Early SNL alumni all say Belushi was funniest, but fans determine stars. We chose Chase as the breakout star and we were right. Belushi may have been a genius and may have been the funniest guy in regular life, and may have been the most versatile - much like Dana Carvey later - but that does not make him the best comedic actor. There was no one thing he did that was as funny and screenwritable as Chevy's conceited/goofy/mischievous personality. The end game is movies. Sketch comedy, radio, stand up - lots of things get you there, but movies are the destination for stars and Chevy was a bigger star.

Belushi, Ackroyd, and take your pick between Murray or Chase. What a cast!

[@poulsensteffen]

There was just so many great talents in the 80-90s. Chevy,John Candy,Belushi,Bill Murray,Dan Aykroyd,Danny Devito,Michael J Fox… the list goes on and on.

[@Drax899]

Belushi, Aykroyd and John Candy were great together in the movie 1941 . such an unrated movie that was funny from beginning to end .

[@marymagdalene3004]

Lots of talented actors on SNL to be sure, but...when you put the Movie Star component into the mix, you can't help but pick Chevy Chase as the winner hands down. He had all of the necessary components: Talent, Good Looks, Tall Stature, Charm, Wit, Delivery, Musical Talent and that "je ne sais quois..." So, all the others were really good, but they did not have Chevy's "Star Quality." He transcended the characters he played whereas the others were just really good actors in their respective roles.

These guys have always had a reputation for causing on set conflicts. Chevy Chase is notorious for being difficult and Murray is no saint either. He didnt get along with Richard Dreyfuss during the making of What About Bob? as well as Lucy Liu and director McG on Charlie's Angels. Also according to Laura Ziskin producer of What About Bob? Bill Murray broke her sunglasses in a fit of rage and threatened to throw her in a lake. They are such funny, talented guys that unfortunately have hidden anger issues so it never surprised me from the get go when I found out they didnt get along. At least we have their brief scene in Caddyshack to see even though very briefly how funny they are together.

Funny how Chevy and Bill’s brother were in Christmas vacation together.

[@sgtpepper1138]

And Vacation, much smaller part, he was the guy running the campground place.

[@johnmadison3472]

Additionally 3 other movies, Caddyshack, Modern Problems & 1st Vacation.

[@hammurds]

Bill and Chevy were in Caddyshack together

Ty Webb omitting he can't play golf brings a tear to my eye.

[@hunterburk]

If Chevy would've acted this classy around others he wouldn't be so hated and despised by his fellow actors. This is the Chevy we love to watch. The jerk Chevy being a cut down artist is what people despised.

[@design1of470]

It makes even more sense that they didn't get along since they're both pretty unpleasant in different ways.

[@gutenbird]

Jealousy between the 2.

[@markdodson5866]

This is the one of the most height centric stories I’ve ever heard. I know down to the half inch how tall each of the combatants and instigators are.

[@erictrump1308]

I love how they kinda hated each other but all became legends in comedy

[@verresmilliterres]

Chevy is one of my all time favourites.

[@victorramos1355]

Finally!!! Dan Aykroyd is a fckn genius and very very underrated...

[@LITMOVIESCENES]

we need another Fletch ..thats a role can play any age

[@grundlebutter5624]

Damn Pierce was right all along about smoking a dobbie, getting in a fist fight, and bedding a woman on the vynle seats in the back of a Buick Skylark every Saturday night back in the day... Mr. Hawthorne truly was streets ahead...

[@DJDisalwaysright]

This is great. I’d love to sit in on a conversation with those two

[@derkp1146]

" I was ready to level him, he was ready to scratch me up" 🤣 light shade

[@manzchello4752]

Please do more movies and stuff together! Dan, chevy, and Bill makes any movie epic
