Chevy Chase’s Health: Twitter Blows Up After ‘SNL’ 40th Anniversary Special
Something definitely seemed off about Chevy. The Community star grabbed everyone’s attention at the 40th anniversary special when he gave an extremely uncomfortable interview to Carson. In the short interview Chevy discussed his decision to leave the show after just one season and wiped his brow while apologizing for his noticeable sweat.
“I left after the first year because I thought this isn’t going anywhere… I liked [hosting]. I liked it. But I missed it more for not being a part of the cast because I left after one year, I had reasons to leave,” Chevy revealed. “I’m sorry if I’m perspiring, but I just had to run through a gauntlet. But I liked it a lot, and I still like it. I love Lorne. We’re like brothers now.”
Following his interview, plenty of fans expressed their concerns on Twitter over Chevy’s sweating, but also about his voice which had also noticeably changed.
