'Saturday Night Live': Early Years

Peter Boyle and Chevy Chase

Peter Boyle and Chevy Chase

"One of the things that made the show successful to begin with that first year and made me successful was this feeling of 'I don't give a crap.' And that came partially out of the belief that we were the top of the minors in late-night television and that we wouldn't go anywhere anyway. So we had no set of aspirations in the sense that this would be a showcase to drive us to bigger and better things." —Chase
