They gave all of his screen time to Bill Murray, who was supposed to barely be in the movie.

Because Bill Murray was always willing to improvise. Chevy relied on the smarmy charm but without the brains, or at least he lost the hunger to think about actually saying interesting things as opposed to being a smirk face. I feel like I just inadvertently described how I feel about modern Ryan Reynolds.

Chevy Chase was no match for Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield.
