“No, no, Chevy. Don’t even think about it. I’ll probably get electrocuted, and you’ll be picked up and arrested for murder.”
Apparently, Chevy Chase also said some unnecessary and unpleasant things in a fit of annoyance after Ford's death:
"I'm just a guy who made some fun of Gerald Ford in 1976 and I prefer to be left alone, really," the 63-year-old comedian told Reuters this week from a Colorado ski resort where he had been skiing with his daughter.
Chase, who has starred in many Hollywood film comedies and written for television shows, said he gets upset when people say that Ford "made" his career.
"The man who 'made my career' did not do 'Fletch,' did not do 'Caddyshack,' did not write for the 'Smothers Brothers' before he wrote for 'Saturday Night Live,' did not write for 12 years before that and win Writers Guild awards.
Whatever. Chevy Chase was funny doing Ford pratfalls. Ford was a big enough man to laugh about it and became his friend. I don't know what Chevy Chase is so annoyed about. He's rich, successful and not dead yet. And Ford did make his career.
