Reitman explained that he tried to rationalize Chase’s comments in the moment. “I’m trying to balance it, because, in my head, I know, ‘Alright, I’m getting my own Chevy Chase moment that’s 1,000 percent only for me right now.’ And from a comedy point-of-view that’s really pure, and that’s kind of cool,” he said.
Reitman said when it came to casting each role, he “tried to identify one thing” about every character, and for Chase, it was “an ego that needs to be humbled.”Danielle Directo-Meston.
