Despite garnering strong reviews from critics and audiences alike, Jason Reitman says Chevy Chase was not too fond of Saturday Night. Co-written and directed by Reitman, the movie served as a biopic for the long-running sketch show, being set on the night of the show’s premiere and the chaos that ensued in trying to get the show on the air. Chase was portrayed in the Saturday Night cast by Gotham alum Cory Michael Smith, with some of the other ensemble including Gabriel LaBelle as Lorne Michaels, Rachel Sennott as Rosie Shuster, Dylan O’Brien as Dan Aykroyd and Matt Wood as John Belushi.
