SNL vet Chevy Chase, 78, responds four YEARS after Pete Davidson called him a ‘bad person’: ‘I don’t give a crap… I am who I am’
Chevy Chase broke his silence four years after Pete Davidson called him a ‘bad person’.
The 78-year-old comedian said in a new interview with CBS The Morning that he doesn’t pay any negative remarks attention.
‘I guess you’d have to ask them,’ before laughing and adding, ‘I don’t give a crap!’

‘I am who I am,’ Chevy said. ‘And I like… who I am. I don’t care. And it’s part of me that I don’t care. And I’ve thought about that a lot. And I don’t know what to tell you, man. I just don’t care.’
Chevy’s acknowledgment of Kim Kardashian’s boyfriends comments comes four years after he bashed the comedian on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show in 2018.
‘F*** Chevy Chase,’ Pete said at the time. ‘He’s just a genuinely bad, racist person and I don’t like him.’

No cares: ‘I am who I am,’ Chevy said. ‘And I like… who I am. I don’t care. And it’s part of me that I don’t care. And I’ve thought about that a lot. And I don’t know what to tell you, man. I just don’t care’
The Saturday Night Live star went on to defend his boss, Lorne Michaels, who created the late-night talk show.
‘It’s disrespectful to Lorne, too, a guy who gave you a career,’ Pete went on. ‘No matter how big you get, you can’t forget what that guy did for you.’
Pete and Chevy never shared the Saturday Night Live stage together.
Chase originally slammed the late-night talk show in an interview with the Washington Post in 2018.

‘I’m amazed that Lorne has gone so low,’ Chevy said nearly four years ago. ‘I had to watch a little of it, and I just couldn’t f***ing believe it… That means a whole generation of s***heads laughs at the worst f***ing humor in the world. You know what I mean? How could you dare give that generation worse s*** than they already have in their lives? It just drives me nuts.’

Pete has been staying busy with his new girlfriend, Kim Kardashian.
The two celebrated Valentine’s Day together and he even sent her sister, Khloe Kardashian a beautiful bouquet of pink and purple blooms.
Davidson’s kind gesture to Kim’s younger sister follows a whirlwind weekend where Kanye West let it be known through repetitive Instagram posts that he was not happy about Pete’s status in the Kardashian family.
Kim filed for divorce nearly a year ago to the day on Feb. 19, 2021, only to pursue becoming ‘legally single’ toward the end of the year as she said her marriage had been ‘irremediably broken down.’
