Blog is the propritor of a little something called Chevy Chase: Unauthorized! It's a shrine to a man who was once held the title of "Funniest Human Being Alive." Every once and a while, a truly interesting Chevy email arrives in the in box and demands not only an interesting response but to shared with the world...in a forum where the author is unlikely to know. Is this mean? Maybe. Is it funny? Hopefully. David Letterman does it so that makes it OK, right?

K,

Thanks for your email. Is Chevy dead? Well, we must first ask ourselves this: Was Chevy ever actually alive? Could someone so talented and humorous actually be human? There's a good chance Chevy is a space alien or, more likely, a really funny cyborg. This begs the question, if Chevy is a robot, what sort of robot is he? Is his body designed like Robocop’s, with human organs and tissue combined with mechanical parts? Or is Chevy more like the Terminator- a standard cyborg covered in fake human skin? There's also the Gizmo Duck factor to consider.

But back to your question: was Chevy destroyed in the September 11th attacks? Well, maybe. There's the distinct possibility that the original, lost "ChevyBot" was replaced with a newer version but we'd never know it. If that's the case, the new ChevyBot is completely indistinguishable from the older model. Take a look at the alleged ChevyBot 2.0's recent appearances at his Friar’s Club Roast or on SNL. If it's a copy, it's a really good one.

We hope this answers your question(s).

The website's hits have been down in recent months. It's probably because of behavior like this.
