According to Chevy Chase, he was truly shocked and hurt by the comments directed at him in the roast. Chase knew he had burned some bridges over the years, especially among his former SNL co-stars, but was unaware just how much his peers had come to despise him as a result of his past behavior. As soon as the roast was over, Chase went straight to his hotel room and sobbed the entire night, sinking into a depression while Paul Shaffer comforted him.
