Chevy Chase to Play Mel Gibson on 'Law & Order'

The popular TV show is ripping another story from the headlines, this one based on Mel Gibson’s DUI and anti-Semitic tirade.

And in a brilliant bit of casting, Mel’s hateful, arrogant side will be channeled by none other than Chevy Chase. (Well, he needed the job.)

In the episode, Chevy Chase plays a TV celebrity who is pulled over for drunken driving while wearing blood-soaked clothes. The star's religious prejudices come out after his arrest.

Chase is shooting the scenes this week and the episode is scheduled to air Nov. 3, during the all-important November sweeps.


A spokesperson for Law & Order” says the show is fiction. Of course it is - Chevy’s much taller than Mel. (And Mel wasn’t wearing bloody clothes... as far as we know.)

Law & Order has been on a celebrity potshot tear lately, with the season opener involving a Britney Spears-esque celebrity and her slacker husband who are a bit careless with their baby.


Fletch, is that you?

Chevy Chase is still alive?? That is the most fucking ridiculous idea for an episode I've ever heard. And I don't even watch the show.

I've never been able to get through an episode, despite the fact that one of its variants plays 813 times a day.

Easy for a dog to say, but I think you mean they're not good people.
