An original member of NBC's Saturday Night Live, Chevy Chase was the trailblazer who turned SNL success into Hollywood mega-stardom. The movies Caddyshack, National Lampoon's Vacation, Fletch, and Three Amigos all contributed to making Chevy Chase a world-wide household name.

Christmas with the Griswolds has never been more beloved. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was ranked #2 on Esquire's list of "The 40 Best Christmas Movies" of all-time. Chestnuts and eggnog recommended!
