Chevy Chase's Stage Mishap at 'Christmas Vacation' Event
Chevy Chase slipped off the stage during a National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation event, sustaining a bruised knee. The incident occurred during a Q&A session after a screening of the 1989 holiday film, and Chase was helped back up onstage by his wife and the interviewer. He made light of the situation, joking about his fall. The comedian fell because he couldn't see where the stage ended due to bright lights. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a beloved holiday classic and the third installment in the film series.
