Chevy Chase’s Funny Idea for a Steve Martin and Martin Short Reunion

A New Chapter for Chevy Chase and His Comedic Legacy

Chevy Chase has been in the spotlight recently, not just because of a new documentary about his life, but also due to some controversies that have made headlines. While these incidents have led to some negative opinions from people in Hollywood, Chase has expressed a desire to work with two of his comedic peers, Steve Martin and Martin Short.

In 1986, Chase, Martin, and Short starred together in The Three Amigos, a comedy that tells the story of three actors mistaken for real heroes who are asked to protect a Mexican village from bandits. The film is widely regarded as one of the funniest in their careers, featuring some of the most memorable lines in comedy history. It also showcases Steve Martin’s trick roping skills, which he learned while working at Disneyland as a child, along with some unforgettable musical numbers.

During a recent appearance, Chase mentioned that if he had the chance, he would love to make a sequel to The Three Amigos. However, there’s one major obstacle: his co-stars are currently busy with their TV show, Only Murders in the Building (a correction from his wife). The show, which is set in a building where only murders happen, has become a hit and features some big-name guest stars. Chase said:

"Right now they’re busy on TV making the ‘I only have murders in my building.’ [His wife corrected him, on the proper title, Only Murders in the Building.] It’s a very good show."

For fans of The Three Amigos, it would be exciting to see these three comedians reunite. While there are stories of people who worked with Chase having less-than-stellar experiences, there’s no indication that Martin Short or Steve Martin feel the same way. That makes it possible that they might be open to another collaboration.

One potential way for Chase to rejoin the trio could be through a guest spot on Only Murders in the Building. The show has a history of bringing in famous names, either as characters or themselves. In fact, the series has already had a Three Amigos reunion with a different actor. Chase seems ready for the opportunity, jokingly saying:

"It’s a good show. Yes, it’s good, they’re good, but they really are lacking me. That’s where we gotta get going. If you really want to have a movie with Steve and Marty, you have to have me."

While this was clearly a lighthearted comment, it highlights the possibility of a future collaboration between the three. Whether it’s a guest appearance on the show, a legacy sequel to The Three Amigos, or an entirely new project, the idea of seeing Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase together again sounds like pure comedy gold.

Fans of the trio are hopeful that something will come out of these ideas. After all, the chemistry between them has always been a highlight of their work. As long as there’s a willingness to collaborate, there’s a chance that the magic of The Three Amigos could be revived once more.
