Lets assume that Pete Davidson wont be having Chevy Chase over for brunch anytime soon. In the wake of the original Saturday Night Live cast members recent evisceration of the NBC series, the current Studio H denizen took him down like Gerald Ford crashing over a table.
“Hes a f*cking douchebag,” Davidson said on SiriusXMs The Howard Stern Show. “F*ck Chevy Chase. I hate that dude. … Hes just a genuinely bad, racist person, and I dont like him. … F*ck him. … Hes a putz. I dont like him.”
Before we continue with Davidsons Chase caning, lets recap what the original Not Ready for Primetime Player told The Washington Post last week. Making mincemeat of his former meal ticket — and its creator and still-producer Lorne Michaels, he said: “First of all,” he said, “between you and me and a lamppost, jeez, I dont want to put down Lorne or the cast, but Ill just say, maybe off the record, Im amazed that Lorne has gone so low. I had to watch a little of it, and I just couldnt f*cking believe it. That means a whole generation of sh*theads laughs at the worst f*cking humor in the world.”

Adding insult to insult, Chase — who was SNLs first breakout star but left after its first season in 1976, also said of the current state of late-night staple: “How could you dare give that generation worse sh*t than they already have in their lives? It just drives me nuts.”
Davidson, who joined the show in for Season 40 in 2014, continued to pile on the not-niceties about Chase. “What has he done since 83? Like, nothing,” he said. “He had a really big career and then it stopped because everybody realized hes a jerkoff. … Its just, like, disrespectful to Lorne, too — a guy who gave you a career. .,.. No matter how big you get, you cant forget, like, what that guy did for you. He created SNL and you were the first person on it. Why do that?”
As of Wednesday, there were no plans for Chase to host SNL during its upcoming 44th season, which premieres Saturday.
