This didn’t quite hit the funny bone for Chevy Chase.

The comedian, 82, revealed that being excluded from “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” was a hurtful moment.

“Well, it was kind of upsetting actually,” Chase said in the upcoming CNN documentary, “I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not.”

“This is probably the first time I’m saying it. But I expected that I would’ve been on the stage too with all the other actors. When Garrett [Morris] and Laraine [Newman] went on the stage there, I was curious as to why I didn’t. No one asked me to. Why was I left aside?”

He has notoriously had a tumultuous relationship with the NBC variety show throughout the years.

At the time, “Saturday Night” director Jason Reitman also revealed what the comedian’s response was to his 2024 film, which details the 90 minutes leading up to the first-ever broadcast of “SNL.”

“Chevy loves to say the thing you’re not supposed to say — to the extreme,” he told David Spade and Dana Carvey on their “Fly on the Wall” podcast in December 2024.

“I have an example for you… So Chevy comes in to watch the movie, and he is there with [his wife] Jayni, and they watch the film, and he’s in the group, and he comes up to me after, and he pats me on the shoulder and goes, ‘Well, you should be embarrassed.’”

“What an exact Chevy thing,” Spade, 61, responded. “You couldn’t even write it better.”

Reitman took the criticism in stride.

“I’m trying to balance it because, in my head, I know, ‘All right, I’m getting a Chevy Chase moment that’s 1,000 percent only for me right now,’” he shared.

“And from a comedy point of view that’s really pure, and that’s kind of cool. But also, I just spent, like, two years of my life recreating this moment and trying to capture Chevy perfectly, and — even in the ego — find the humanity and give him a moment to be loved. And no, none of that s–t played. He’s not talking about that stuff.”

I thought this was pretty funny and clever of Cameo - always good to lean in on the joke.

As I was watching this though I couldn’t help but (oh god, am I Carrie now?) find MM cringe. Can anyone remind me why the collective bitterness towards him?
