Much has been made of the rise and subsequent fall (and rise? I personally really like Community) of Chevy Chase, but regardless of his late career output the guy absolutely owned comedy in his prime. From 1975, when he debuted on the first season of SNL, to 1989, when he starred in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Chevy Chase was unstoppable. With a filmography that includes Caddyshack, Fletch, Three Amigos and The National Lampoon series it's tough to argue against his status as a legend. His charisma and talent was/is undeniable and with Christmas Vacation fresh on the brain a photo tribute is surely in order. "Hello, I'm Chevy Chase and you're not."
