This is a parody of the 1993 "Steam Roller" commercial, the first one where Chevy Chase was the spokesperson. This is deliciously self-deprecating, as Chevy Chase was abruptly cancelled from his own talkshow at Fox only four months after it began.

This was actually a spoof. Chevy Chase had a talkshow in Sept. 1993 and it totally bombed. When the executive is talking about how "he's not getting the ratings", that's how his talkshow got cancelled. I also liked the last line by Chase when the old lady took the bag of chips, "tough year,good chip". This was a great spot.
