During the filming of 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation,' Chevy Chase struggled to remember his lines, leading the cast to wear placards with his dialogue to help him perform, especially during a key meltdown scene, highlighting the challenges actors can face with memorization.
A family's dream Christmas vacation to Disney parks was jeopardized when the grandparents mistakenly bought $10,000 worth of Disney Plus streaming service gift cards instead of park tickets. The family, consisting of 16 members, was left in a panic as they struggled to purchase the tickets in time for their trip. The mother shared a viral TikTok video seeking help, criticizing the design of the gift cards, and expressing their desperation to find a solution. Eventually, they were able to convert the gift cards into park gift cards, allowing them to salvage their long-awaited trip.
Chevy Chase, 80, fell off a stage during a live event at Shea's Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, NY, while greeting fans after a screening of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Chase, who had entered the stage in a wheelchair but stood up to walk towards the crowd, slipped off the stage but was quickly helped back up by his wife and the moderator. He blamed the stage lights for misjudging the edge of the stage and suffered a bruised knee. Despite the fall, Chase continued the event with an icepack on his knee and took pictures with fans. His recent use of a wheelchair at another event was attributed to airport travel, and his manager assured that he is in good health and his tour has been selling out across the country.
