Chase was back to host again in 1985 and seemed to piss off literally everyone. He made fun of Robert Downey Jr.'s father ("Didn't your father used to be a successful director? Whatever happened to him? Boy, he sure died, you know, he sure went to hell.") and was relentlessly hateful to Terry Sweeney, suggesting that SNL's first openly gay cast member star in a sketch where they weighed him every week to see if he had AIDS.
Big surprise that the offended parties in both cases never amounted to much in comedy. I think that's what Chase (and Seagal) picked up on and it really got into their heads.
I thought Gawker was bankrupted by Hulk "OMG SAMMY ROBBY GOT TO SEE HIM MAKE CUMSIES" Hogan and that gay billionaire who held a grudge like a scorned teenage girl?
Whoever bought them out left the archived articles up but they stopped producing new ones. They kept some of the sister sites going like Deadspin, but I’m assuming that they figured that Gawker was such a toxic property that it didn’t make sense to continue with it.
Everyone loves Chevys classic " Im sorry what?" response when someone is trying to ask him questions. Making them repeat it a few times and losing any chance of getting an answer. That has been effective since the 70s.
Who He Pissed Off: Howard Stern
How: In 1992, Chase was recorded talking shit about Stern in between commercial breaks on Larry King's show; Stern got hold of the tape and played it on-air before calling Chase, who told Stern never to call again. (A few years later, Stern and Richard Belzer called a furious Chase several times at 5 a.m.) The two apparently made up, and Chase was invited to Stern's wedding — but apparently gave a wildly inappropriate toast that only exacerbated Stern's dislike of him.
I remember hearing about this on Sterns show. Chevy basically ripped Stern and Beth's relationship as a gold digger thing. Stern pretended he was ok with it. But he wasn't.

Some real gems in here:

That AIDS bit is good.

I liked Seagals idea of playing a therapist who's trying to fuck his rape victim client.

Thank you very little.

Chevy's interview with Norm on his Netflix show was pretty good.
Seems like one of the few good guys from the old generation still left.
If you're not treated like a pariah in today's media you're doing something wrong.

You're a bigger faggot for reading Gawker.

I think they sold it to one of the usual groups of jews after the fact and that's how they can keep operating.

Pretty much everyone he pissed off are garbage people.

Made up with Howie, proceeds to give a "wildly inappropriate toast" at his wedding.
Gawd fuckin' bless ya, Chevy.

He pissed off Robert Downey Jr. He's a good egg.
