Chevy Chase Yearns for ‘Three Amigos!’ Reunion, Calls for Inclusion in Martin & Short Projects

Richmond, VA – Chevy Chase is publicly expressing his desire to reunite with former “Three Amigos!” co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, both on the big screen and possibly on their hit Hulu series, “Only Murders in the Building.”

During an appearance at the Altria Theater in Richmond on December 29th, the 82-year-old comedian stated that he believes a sequel to the 1986 comedy classic “Three Amigos!” is in order. “If you really want to have a movie with Steve and Marty, you have to have me,” Chase insisted to the crowd.

He also playfully lamented his absence from “Only Murders in the Building,” jokingly telling the audience (after being corrected by his wife, Jayni, on the show’s title), “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.” More sincerely, Chase added, “I miss them, that’s all I’m saying. I really miss them, they’re great.”

While “Only Murders” executive producer John Hoffman hinted in 2022 at the possibility of “many, many other amigos” joining the show, there has been no confirmation of Chase’s involvement in any future seasons.

In 2019, Martin explained that geography played a role in the closeness of his relationship with Short compared to Chase. “He lives on the wrong coast,” Martin said, noting that he and Short lived in proximity to each other while making the film.

The dynamic between the three comedians has been further highlighted by the upcoming CNN documentary, “I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not,” which premieres January 1st. While Short appears in the documentary, Martin opted not to participate. Director Marina Zenovich suggested to Variety that Martin’s absence “speaks for itself,” though she declined to speculate on the reasons behind it. Chase’s desire for a reunion raises questions about the potential for a “Three Amigos!” resurgence and whether Chase will finally get his wish to collaborate with Martin and Short once again.
