Chevy Chase opens up about how upset he was with his little involvement in SNL's 50th anniversary

"Well, it was kind of upsetting actually. 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?"

Elsewhere in the documentary, mentioning the night's "Weekend Update" segment, Chase said:

"Why was Bill Murray there and why was I not? I don't have an answer for that."

He went ahead and said:

"I did bring it up once in a text to Lorne and then took it back. I said, 'Okay, I take it back, silly.' But it's not that silly. Somebody's made a bad mistake there. I don't know who it was, but somebody made a mistake. They should've had me on that stage. It hurt."
