In Popular Culture
- The Simpsons mentioned The Chevy Chase Show on their "138th Episode Spectacular", when actor Troy McClure mentioned he had previously hosted a documentary entitled The Five Fabulous Weeks of The Chevy Chase Show. In The Simpsons video game The Simpsons: Road Rage, Krusty will occasionally compliment fast drivers by lamenting that the ride was "over faster than Chevy Chase's talk show!".
- It was later mentioned by The Onion, which joked that the program was entering its "sixth blockbuster season" in an alternate universe.
- Family Guy mocked the show during the episode "Meet the Quagmires", which supposed that in an alternate universe, Chase had gone on to succeed Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. Upon discovery of this Peter responded "We messed up bad, we messed up real bad!".

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“If the Union is now dissolved it does not prove that the experiment of popular government is a failure.... But the experiment of uniting free states and slaveholding states in one nation is, perhaps, a failure.... There probably is an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery. It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Children became an obsessive theme in Victorian culture at the same time that they were being exploited as never before. As the horrors of life multiplied for some children, the image of childhood was increasingly exalted. Children became the last symbols of purity in a world which was seen as increasingly ugly.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
