<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor Chevy Chase said he felt “hurt” after being &#8220;left aside&#8221; during “SNL50: The Anniversary Special,” which aired in February. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Well, it was kind of upsetting actually,” Chase said in an upcoming documentary, “I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not,” per </span><a href="https://people.com/chevy-chase-hurt-being-left-out-of-snl-50th-celebration-11875499"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He went on, “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?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Why was Bill Murray there and why was I not? I don’t have an answer for that,” Chase said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 82-year-old comedian was part of the “SNL” cast from the very beginning, and launched a successful movie career after becoming a breakout star on the show. He earned two Emmy Awards out of four nominations for both acting and writing on the show.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chase exited halfway through season two to launch his film career, but returned frequently for guest appearances.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I did bring it up once in a text to [“SNL” creator Lorne Michaels] and then took it back,” Chase continued. “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.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chase was present at the “SNL50” special but was not featured. In the upcoming documentary, his wife Jayni Chase said the organizers &#8220;told Chevy up until that day that there were two bits, they were going back and forth.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;And then, all of the sudden, &#8216;No, there&#8217;s no bit,'&#8221; she said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There were a couple versions of [the ‘Weekend Update’ segment] and we went back and forth on that,” Michaels said in the documentary. “There was also a caution from somebody that I don’t want to name that Chevy, you know, wasn’t as focused.”</span></p>
