“F— Chevy Chase,” Davidson said at the time. “He’s just a genuinely bad, racist person and I don’t like him.”
Davidson also defended his boss,Lorne Michaels, who created the late-night comedy sketch show.
“It’s disrespectful to Lorne, too, a guy who gave you a career,” continued Davidson, who did not ever share theSNLstage with Chase. “No matter how big you get, you can’t forget what that guy did for you.”

A rep for Chase did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment at the time.
“I’m amazed that Lorne has gone so low,” Chase said at the time. “I had to watch a little of it, and I just couldn’t f—— believe it… That means a whole generation of s––heads laughs at the worst f–– humor in the world. You know what I mean? How could you dare give that generation worse s–– than they already have in their lives? It just drives me nuts.”
