I'M EMMY WINNER CHEVY CHASE AND YOU'RE NOT: Since 1998, it's been commonplace to refer to Academy Award Winners Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in press materials even though neither has won for acting, so I was curious what allowed Law and Order to promote the upcoming appearance of "Emmy-winner Chevy Chase!" as notMelGibsonreallysirpleasedon'tsue us. The answer? Mr. Chase has three Emmys, one for co-writing this episode of SNL, one for his performance in this episode of SNL, and one for co-writing the 1977 Paul Simon Special. Sadly, The Chevy Chase Show was snubbed when it came to the Emmys.
