  • Fox originally asked country musician Dolly Parton to host a new late night program (the network's first since 1987's The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers, but Parton turned the network down and suggested Chevy Chase for the job. Chase reportedly signed a $3 million deal with Fox. Days before the show's premiere, the name of the venue where the show was recorded was changed from the Aquarius Theater to the Chevy Chase Theater and Fox spent $1 million in renovations. "The Chevy Chase Show" was one of several talk shows that various networks put on the air after Johnny Carson retired. The show premiered a week after the first "Late Show with David Letterman" and a week prior to the first "Late Night with Conan O'Brien". In keeping with the formula Carson and David Letterman had established, the show featured a house band that Chase called the best band in the world: the Tom Scott-led MBC Orchestra (which would later be called The Hollywood Express). Chase produced the show through his company, Cornelius Productions. The show's set featured a tank with live fish (visible during interviews), basketball hoops, and shelves of toys. The program's lead-in featured a clay-animated Chevy Chase stealing letters from notable Los Angeles landmarks to spell the name of his show. As the credits rolled at the end of each episode, Chase was seen shooting basketballs at an onstage backstop.
